    So who is a fan of the books? I adore this series and I feel it really does have one of the best stories that deals with relationships. I got the series for Christmas a few years back and devoured the whole thing in two days between socializing with family. Who is your favorite character? Favorite Evil Ex-Boyfriend, favorite gamer reference, favorite moment? Discuss!

    Saw the movie version and I ended up liking it. Friend ordered all the comics not long afterwards, and that's how I read them. Very cool, fun comic.

    Kind of wish that younger people didn't completely miss the point of Ramona, though. Basically, some select individuals are way too hung up finding that "magic pixie girl" because of this story. I wonder if they even read the comic/paid attention to the movie/both.

    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.

    I read them shortly after seeing the movie. It's sort of like The Godfather, I enjoy the film and the source material each for what they did right.
