Seconds

Enjoyable read.

This was a fun read. It still looks like classic O'Malley, but I definitely like the art in this book more than Scott Pilgrim. The story was interesting, one to which most of us can relate. Everyone wants that second chance, wishes they'd said/not said that one thing that would have changed everything. The main character, Katie, gets MANY of these chances in the form of an odd little mushroom and a quick summary of her mistake.
But like any story of someone messing with time, everything goes pear shaped. Katie gets greedy with her “revisions”, and...well, she kind of breaks time. Best way I can put it, I suppose.
The ending feels kind of rushed and predictable, but it's still a fun story and it's easy on the eyes.
GG, O'Malley. GG

I didn't want to read this at first; some part of me believed that I'd be betraying my love of Scott Pilgrim by reading anything else of Bryan Lee O'Malley. What a mistake that would have been. This has a slightly darker tone than SP, but man, is it good. O'Malley easily expresses complex emotion with deft and wit. Go read this right now.

Impresionante, me ha gustado muchísimo. Pensaba leer hoy un poco y mañana continuar (por eso de que me durara un poco xD) pero no he podido, quería saber que iba a pasar con Katie, lis y Hazel...Me ha dejado con una sonrillisa y con ganas de llorar de bonico que es. Aix, recomendadisimo.

Will it become a classic fan favourite like Scott Pilgrim? Probably not, but it doesn't mean you should skip this book. It's jam-packed with charm and although you won't laugh out loud, you will definitely smile for hours. Also the art is spectacular and full of character.

I LOVED this. Not a perfect book or anything, but–I love it when I can sense authors aging up with me, and this is a perfect late-20s book the way Scott Pilgrim is a perfect early-20s book, I guess? Just sort of on point for my general concerns and sensibilities at this point in time.

I still love O'Malley's art style and his way of adding little jokes into the art. So cute!! I thought about giving this 4 stars and then I remembered how cute the art was and bumped it up to 5.
