  <default_description>Scott Pilgrim's life is totally sweet. He's 23 years old, he's in a rock band, he's &quot;between jobs,&quot; and he's dating a cute high school girl. Nothing could possibly go wrong, unless a seriously mind-blowing, dangerously fashionable, rollerblading delivery girl named Ramona Flowers starts cruising through his dreams and sailing by him at parties. Will Scott's awesome life get turned upside-down? Will he have to face Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends in battle? The short answer is yes. The long answer is Scott Pilgrim, Volume 1: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The more I read of SCOTT PILGRIM'S PRECIOUS LITTLE LIFE, the more the cuteness wore off. There were some cool storytelling bits that appealed to me (Scott Pilgrim. Age: 23. Rating: AWESOME), but not enough to make me want to come back and read more of this in the future.<br/><br/>Until the last 20...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/50924801">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have a little bit of a book crush on this series. It's a little juvenile, but it's also kind of smart with its realistic and funny characters, and this makes it irresistable. Scott's basically the prototypical lovable loser. He plays in a terrible band that boasts only one fan. He shares an apartm...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46744159">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I tried to like <u>Scott Pilgrim</u>.  I really did.  And I can see how it's an achievement in Western manga; I can see how the art is fresh and well-executed.  But I find the main character so detestable that I don't think I can read any of the later volumes.
