Scott Pilgrim has a pretty awesome life. He is 23 years old, has an adorable high school girlfriend and is in a rock band. Everything seems perfect until a mind-blowing Amazon.ca delivery girl on rollerblades shows up in his dreams. Totally infatuated and obsessed with her, Scott Pilgrim embarks on asking Ramona Flowers – the girl of his dreams – out. Little does he know the road to love isn’t that easy. He has to face and defeat all seven of Ramona’s evil ex-boyfriends. Will Scott Pilgrim win the battle and the girl’s heart?
I am totally excited for the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. The World to come out in September and when I heard it is actually based upon a series, I just had to read them. The first volume is hilarious. It sets up the characters of Scott and his friends and what his life is like. Living with his gay roommate and sharing the same bed while dating a seventeen year old school girl that he met on the bus is only the beginning of Scott’s precious little life. Never did he imagine that it would be turned upside down by an American emo chick and he has to defeat all of her ex-boyfriends in a video game style before they can truly date. If you ask me, this storyline is pretty awesome. I cannot wait to read the next installments as well as watch the movie when it comes out!
