This is the part of the list I think I'm most likely going to tick off first. It seems the easiest as reading is something which comes naturally to me. I always have some books on the go and even occasionally finish them. So the one which has added to my total today is "Scott Pilgrim Versus The Universe" or Volume 5 as I think of it. Now you may have seen the trailer for the upcoming film and if you like the trailer you should like the books. This one in particular ends on a cliff hanger and is just great fun. Even this far into though I do have a couple of issues with the series. Sacrilege for many but that's what these reviews are for.
I often have trouble working out who some of the periphery characters are. This may just be me being a bit dense and reading it too quickly. I've particularly been having trouble in telling the female characters apart at times. Julie, Kim, Lisa and others I often find hard to tell apart until they act in some manner which tells you who they are. With a bit more concentration though its fine. I'm just used to colour comics so I often use colour palette to tell who is who. That's an insight which only just hit me.
That's the main complaint which is only a minor one. Also at times I can't see why Ramona is suppose to be so amazing but I think that is par of making her a real character rather than just a "Mary Sue" or whatever the equivalent is of an idealised girlfriend.
Only one volume left to go and I can't wait. This may seem a bit of a down review but so much praise has been heaped on the series I don't feel the need to say anymore. You should read this series. It ace, just not perfect.
My Rank is now 2756 and my book count is 593. On we go.
