It’s no wonder Hollywood staked its claim in “Scott Pilgrim” only six years after the debut of the first book in the series, “Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life” in August of 2004.

Presented in black and white, the graphic novel portrays the life of a typical broke 23-year-old. What makes the book so readable is everyone’s ability to relate to Pilgrims day-to-day lifestyle, which consists of piecing together his love life, and playing in a self proclaimed awful rock band.

It’s hard not to like immature yet humble Pilgrim. Readers can’t help but wanting to root for him as a supernatural element is introduced and Pilgrim has to fight all of his newest love interest’s evil ex-boyfriends.

The novel does a wonderful job of providing a necessary mystical element to keep with the expectation of graphic novels. All the while, it genuinely maintains the readers interest in plot development.

I sincerely enjoyed reading “Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life.” The illustrations were simple enough not to intimidate beginning graphic novel readers, but confidant enough to require little wording.

An honest 5 stars as Bryan Lee O’Malley’s creation leaves even the most amateur of graphic novel readers interested in what is going to happen next.
