Scott Pilgrim Gets It Together


Book 4 in the Scott Pilgrim Graphic novel series.


It's summertime, but who can relax? Scott and Ramona continue to evolve as they wrestle with the L word (Love not lesbian - though Scott keeps hoping). Plus Ramona starts invading his dreams. Scott's band gets a chance to record their music but Scott isn't even really aware or even involved with it. Scott does notice that he is being stalked by a mysterious swordsman but he seems a bit old to be one of the Evil Exes. Plus their is Ramona's mysterious college roommate.

In typical Scott confusion, he comes home to discover that he doesn't have a place to live so if he crashes with Ramona will that change their relationship? The main complication in Scott's life is Julie, a high school might-have-been-girlfriend. Cute Julie keeps showering him with attention, forcing him to deal with his feelings for Ramona. Typical slacker humor, though it is certainly fun to see Scott get a job and become responsible.

It makes for a fun, casual read.
