Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life - Bryan Lee O'Malley | Review

Scott Pilgrim is a series of graphic novels which has been popular for quite some time. There was a (really quite good) movie adaptation, it got republished in colour, there has been six or something volumes... it's popular. However, it's taken me quite a few years to finally pick up the first volume, but because of it's popularity I was expecting good things.

For the most part, I enjoyed it. It's a fun and light read, although it took me a while to get invested in it. I disliked most of the characters, although I think to an extent that was intentional on O'Malley's part. It's very much the setting up of the world, and the story and nothing really 'big' happens until right until the end. However, those last few pages definitely made me want to read the next book in the series as soon as my library request comes through.

I do wish the library had the new colour version of the book though, just for my own selfish reading reasons!

January Library Haul

Today I wanted to share with you the books that I've got out from the library this month!

They are: Grimm Tales: For Young and Old by Philip Pullman, The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult, Very British Problems, The Hell of it All by Charlie Brooker, The Bling Ring by Nancy Jo Sales, Life Class by Pat Barker, Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life, Night School by C.J. Daugherty, and Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green.

Quite a mixed bag! I'm pretty sure the librarian had her eyebrows raised when I went to collect them. I've finished The Storyteller and am halfway through Scott Pilgrim and The Bling Ring. Charlie Brooker is also from here so I feel a little bit of a local connection when I picked up his book.

Have you read any of these? Let me know in the comments!
