I've already forgotten what happens in this book. I thought the first one was moderately clever and this was more of the same
i love that in the film lucas lee is this douchbag and they have a long fight with scott but in the book they just kinda chill on a wall and talk and then scott tricks him into sliding down the railing
also they put a vegan shepherd's pie recipe in this one
Le deuxième volume d'une de mes bandes dessinées préférées, drôle et divertissante mais qui sait aussi émouvoir et parler de sujets sérieux sur un ton comique.
Another quick, fun read in the Scott Pilgrim series. I got a little lost a few times but it didn't really detract from the story. Still a lot of fun and I'm still keen to continue the series.
I continue to like the style and concepts of this book while actively disliking all of the main characters.
This is getting fun! I like the video game references and the recipe insert. Felt sorry for little Knives. My favorite line? When Joseph says ‘He is as hot as the flames of the hell you bitches are going to.' Don't know why that struck my funnybone, but it did.

Volume two of the Scott Pilgrim series continues the mixing of indie-hipster chic with video game love that began in the first volume. This volume sees a continuation of the budding romance between American Ninja Delivery Girl Ramona Flowers, and uber-slacker Scott Pilgrim, as Scott continues his quest to defeat Ramona's evil ex-boyfriends so that they can be together.
Second volumes of series are always in an interesting position: the first volume has to set up all of the basic characters and conflicts, and it's only in the second part that characters are allowed to develop on a deeper level. This is something definitely true in this book, as we see more of all of the characters, especially Kim Pine and Knives Chau (who, we are reminded, is 17 years old). Add in some frightfully funny scenes, and one really good recipe for Sheppard's pie, and you have yourself a winner!
