This is one of the things I love about the book is that it really does play on the stereotypes of Hollywood romance. I think one of the best parts of the story is explaining Nega-Scott and how a lot of the Scott's story is actually a case of an unreliable narrator. Perhaps this is one of the reasons I didn't care for the film version as much, because while they initially get the message that Scott is pretty much an egotistical jerk, it has to blatantly show you whereas the books do a better job of making you like Scott, only to betray your feelings as it begins to show that Scott really isn't the lovable rascal we are led to believe. It's actually well done in the books and why it has been easily one of my favorite comic book series to come out in the last few years.
