Scott Pilgrim's just this guy, right? He's got a pretty awesome life, and this series of books is about just that. The series was highly recommended by several friends, so I bought both the first and second volumes to determine if I really like it or not. I consider myself a fairly big geek, I've played video games since I was a little kid playing a NES, and I generally get most video game references. But these books didn't really grab me as well as they had grabbed my friends. They're funny, but not incredibly funny. The stories are interesting, but not that interesting. I think they'd make a better movie (Which is on the way!) than books. But, if you're like me and want to absorb all of geek culture, definitely read the first volume. They are a good read anyway, and will suck up an afternoon!Read full review

Great series! The fourth book had some pen dents on the cover, but nothing to cry about.

Bought the books specifically so I could watch the movie and not feel guilty. Plus I have a fetish for simplified old school inked art. The characters are well developed and stick out of the page. And plot sounds like some gossip that you might have overheard someone else talking about... with science fiction hint of corny but for some reason enjoyable action. The art is fun, well done, and easy to understand. No seriously Mr. O'Malley did an excellent job, there's not a single panel that looks awkward or even remotely makes you question what something in the picture might be. The biggest downside to the whole book is how short it is, like most graphic novels they can be read within one sitting. My suggestion is to make a book like this last, force yourself to read only a chapter a night or less. And if you've watched the movie and thinking about reading the book its well worth your time, the book has a lot more details and humor that were missed out in the movie. ~alteregoAtlasRead full review
As described, condition was very good only small traces of use to the corners. Nothing crazy. binding was perfect and no folds! The story was great, more than the film!
