Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World: 11/01/16

Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World by Bryan Lee O'Malley

Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World by Bryan Lee O'Malley is the second book in the six book series. I'm going to be upfront and say I'm only reading this series because it counts towards the Canadian Books Challenge.

Scott Pilgrim is a terrible person. His relationship with Knives, I thought, was over with. But apparently not. She's back and she's jealous of Ramona. So while Scott has to battle Ramona's exes, she has to battle Knives.

Ugh.

The best part of the book was the setting of the battle between Ramona and Knives. It takes place in a library — an actual library. It's the Toronto Reference Library.

The Toronto Reference Library

I'm still debating whether or not I should continue with the series. I've liked other works by the author but the one he's most known for, so far hasn't won me.

Two stars
