Reviews and comments of Pilgrim Graffiti Necklace that is very helpful

Pilgrim takes this series further along on its new track. The focus turns to other characters that face different challenges from those in her earlier books in this series. If you have read her other books in this series, you will not be disappointed. She has advanced the story and I can’t wait to see what happens in the final volume.
What’s the name of the film with a dead little pilgrim girl?
I think it was made in the early 1970s. I haven’t seen it in years and don’t remember Pilgrim Graffiti Necklace most of it. It was about a pretty blond woman with a baby who was haunted by a dead little pilgrim girl that was either a ghost or a witch. The evil little girl wanted the woman’s husband. The film took place in the countryside in contemporary times. Does anyone know what movie this is?

You know that scene in Groundhog Day where Bill Murray is vainly trying to recreate that magical moment during the snowball fight? He’s getting all the movements right, but it’s forced, not spontaneous, and lacking in heart. This whole book seems like that. What was once whimsical and surprising now seems calculated, distant, and almost cynical.
And the background art is laughably inappropriate.
Worth getting if you own the other 5, but if I were you I’d set my expectation level VERY low.

I was starting to get worried about Ramona and Scott during the last two volumes. Thankfully, this one wrapped up everything perfectly, while still maintaining humor and suspense. There are a couple confusing moments, and belief is suspended much more dramatically this time, but the story and heart of the novel are just too good to let that affect anything. I can’t say it’s my favorite out of the series, but “Finest Hour” is definately one of the best. I had that feeling you get at the end of the series, where you’re sad to see it end, but the conclusion lives up to its demands.
Bye Scott Pilgrim, we are sad to see you go. Your conclusion has redefined the feeling of “bittersweet” for all of us comic readers. May your film be just as spectacular as your series. Whatever happens next, all of us will still regard Scott Pilgrim as a classic in graphic novel literature.

It all goes by so quickly, and I was sad to see the series end, but loved reading it! This is a thick issue and it wraps things up for almost all the characters. It’s Scott at some of his most awkward (“but it was horrible for everyone and that includes you”) and epic. Ramona still kicks a lot of ass. As always, there are lots of excellent references to movies, video games, and other awesome stuff. Just so I don’t spoil anything, I’ll say that this is a great ending that was really satisfying… we all live in our own heads, but how much do we let other people in?

We come to the end of what might be the best comic series of the last decade. At the very least it’s the work that people will point to when they talk about this generation (20’s to 30’s).
It didn’t end the way I thought it was going to, but was very happy with it none the less. All the characters evolved in there own way. Even the secondary characters. ESPECIALLY the secondary characters. The twist with Stephen Stills made me slap my head and wonder why I didn’t see it coming.
Some of the artwork felt a little rushed at times, but nothing to bad. The writting is good, but even after two reads I’m still not a hundred percent on how ‘the glow’ works.
This was a great book. It is sad to see the series end, but I’m glad I no longer have to wonder if Scott will get the girl.

This is the first volume in a mangaesque series. The hero, Scott Pilgrim is a Canadian slacker and bassist in a terrible rock band. As we start his story, he is dating a high school girl named Knives Chau, but he soon falls for an American girl named Ramona Flowers. The series seems somewhat grounded in reality at first, but at the band’s first concert, one of Ramona’s ex-boyfriends shows up and has a video game like fight with Scott. This is a fun start to the series and I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the books.

This book starts off as a slice-of-life story set in Toronto (yay, a Canadian author!) that is pretty normal until some cool elements are introduced. Such as Ramona skating through his dreams (literally) and at the end, Scott battling an ex-boyfriend some mix of anime slash video game style. I thought that was pretty clever and also interesting because this book has such a “normal” feel to it, until these weird things just happen. It makes you wonder what else the author has up his sleeve.
I found that the writing was good. The author captures a lot of moments I think many of us have with friends and relationships and shows it in a funny way. I thought it was quite funny and laughed out loud many times. A great example is when Scott meets Ramona. She’s a good heroine in the story: even though she is using Scott’s dreams she is very stand-offish towards him at first and this creates some comedic moments.
The art great; at a glance it seems very simple and sparse and in a cartoon style but I think it was really well done and enhanced the action and feelings of the characters. The only gripe I had with it was at first it was hard to distinguish the rather large cast of characters due to the minimal style. But it’s worth it.
I recommend this to anyone who has any interest in geeky things or is just interested in a slice of life comedy with some fantasy. My only problem is I wished it lasted longer. It’s a quick read (I read the volume in 30 minutes) but I look forward to the next installment.

I think that your take on Scott Pilgrim entirely (like, I guess, most things) on what stage of life you happen to be in. My guess is that anyone 15 to about 24 on the geeky side of the spectrum is the target audience and I’d guess that in ten years nobody will remember this series.
If you haven’t read the book, read the following and guess the age of the title character. Scott is “dating” a high school girl for no apparent reason, he then moons over a woman (Ramona) based on simply seeing her and proceeds to act in a supremely creepy manner, orders something from Amazon just so she can deliver it and then they hang out only to become boyfriend/girlfriend in about two or three dates.
My guess is you’d say Scott was 16. He’s actually supposed to be 23 (making him the most immature 23 year old in history).
Which is the core of what’s wrong with this book. O’Malley has put characters into situations that don’t make any sense given where the characters are in life. Aimless bands that can’t actually play are not the purview of 23 year olds. Guys agreeing to fight ex-boyfriends within 2 seconds of meeting somebody is, if anywhere, high school stuff.
So…we are left with characters who are all caricatures of some weird vision of “hip” that O’Malley has come up with.
None of the characters have any depth or motivation. The first ex-boyfriend dated Ramona for a week in grade school and demands to fight Scott. But why?
In other words, it’s light/frothy stuff that will appeal to a very specific range of person and be utter dreck to everybody else. Sadly, I am on the “everybody else” section.

I started to read the series some years ago, when there was only three books and have been following ever since. With the final book being released I’m rereading and reviewing the earlier books.
This first book stands up pretty well. The artwork is a lot rougher and dirtier (in look, not subject matter) then later books. O’Malley was either using inferior tools, or hadn’t learned to use them effectively. His use of black and white space, and a wonderful understanding of composition shines through.
The story is funny and page turning. The wit and characters are not as developed yet. This first book is more reality based then later volumes, which I feel gives the series a point of reference for readers. This book, and the series as a whole, is perfect for the 17 to 25 year old range, that are growing up in the same culture and going through the same experiences as Scott and his friends. Anyone up into their 30’s can get a kick out of the series, being able to look back and laugh about that time in their lives.

This ones just as entertaining as the first volume. I love the comedic style and the video-game references. I read this one in just a day, due to the length and the enjoyment. I don’t want to spoil anything but this one picks right up where the first stopped, and it seems like this book has more of an element of suspense. The Knives Chau arc becomes intense, and I liked to see more action in this book. I got confused, again, at some moments when they introduced new characters. Because of the style of the book, it becomes easy to confuse one character for another, or to become lost because a lot of the people look very similar. That would be my only complaint about the book, but the complaint doesn’t stand a chance against all the awesome joy I received while reading Scott Pilgrim.
Read Volume 2!!!! It’s getting better!!!

I’ve been into manga for a few years now and I recently just started reading American, or in this case Canadian, comics. This is the perfect book series for anyone who also wants to make that perfect transition into American comics. From the very well written story to the manga-inspired artwork, this is hands-down the perfect book series to start with. After reading this series I started reading Invincible and Watchmen and now I’m trying to catch-up on all the great series I’ve missed. There’s also a movie coming out and it’s always best to read the source material first. In summation,great series, love books 3-5, and can’t wait for the sixth and final book.

Here we have the second Scott Pilgrim graphic novel of a projected six. It starts off with an extended flashback to Scott’s high school years, before we get back to the present. Scott is happy with Ramona, but Knives isn’t ready to give him up yet. And Scott still has to deal with more of Ramona’s evil ex-boyfriends. A fun comic book so far.

The Scott Pilgrim series of books is the type that you will find yourself reading over and over for years to come, lending out individual volumes to friends all the while.
This book, the second in the series, is where the author really finds his voice and lets the characters grow. We get some back story on the past relationship of Scott Pilgrim and Kim Pine as well as an early glimpse of many other characters in the series.
I could use a lot of hyperbole in an attempt to twist your mouse arm into clicking this into your possession, but I really don’t even have to. Read one of these books and you will want nothing more than to see them through to the end.
May 11th, 2011 at 7:57 pm
Has the full version of the original Pilgrim’s Progress(though not the second part where his wife follows. It is well translated to present day though there are a few thee’s and thou’s. not bad for free…

Seriously, everyone has a handful of albums or CDs that the whole thing just echoes or conjurs up an experience in your life and you swear the artist must have been right there and witnessed it because the song hits so close to home, and not just a song but the whole album. Well Pilgrim is one of those for me. I always have been a Clapton fan, and I had read somewhere recently it wasn’t received very well so I thought I would check the old amazon reviews and try to get a feeling. I was glad to see a lot of positive reviews and more than a little taken a back at how mean the negative ones were.
Back to Pilgrim. I can’t explain it but this CD reaches out and touches the soul. I know that just because an album does it for one person, doesn’t mean it will do it for all, but this is one of the few I think could pull it off if you give it a real chance. I can’t say if its like Journeyman, or Cream or the Dominos days, I don’t think that would be fair because it is so much different but still soooooooooooooooooo Clapton. This isn’t full of party hard licks like Layla. But its not totally void of that either. The guitar playing is subtle yet you can’t stop hearing it because it sticks. This is an album that can induce healing and peace even when the songs descibe loss. Its a journey, and that’s what Pilgrims do.
Give this CD a real chance, I’ll bet when you get done you are somewhere between a smile and a wince. Not about the quality of the album,that will no longer be in in dispute, but the qualiity of the things in your own life you had forgotten.

This is a real heartfelt blues statement, from the 90’s. What the hell? Who was “blue” in the 90’s. Eric Clapton was and here it is for all to hear. It is a very dark, emotional record. Clapton is letting it all out for everyone to see/hear. It is music from a man who has experienced the ultimate loss baring his soul. As someone with children, still alive and well, it is a record that is hard to listen on the level of losing what is most dear to you. It is is that bare bones. As someone who is a music lover and great fan of Clapton, it is what the blues is all about! Pouring your heart and soul into the music. A brilliant record!
A lot of people here are pissing about no great guitar playing. Listen closer. Nuance and subtlety make a great player and this record has it in spades.
From a artist who has made many brilliant musical statements, this is one of his best!

I rediscover this CD every couple of years, and it gets stuck in my CD player. How could this 70s guitar hero, blues guy, etc, turn out such a slow, moody, romantic CD? Wow. The audio mix is incredible.
Whatever he did, I wish he’d do it again. This is one of the top 10 CDs in the world for me. River of Tears just tears me up. Over and over…
And talking about tearing me up, his voice has matured so much! Pinched off with emotion. He’s come so far from the Layla days, or Delaney Bonnie et all.

I just read ALL the 1-star reviews of this album to see if I could find “what I’ve been missing”. As the REO Speedwagon song “Riding the Storm Out” says, “I’m not missing a thing”. This is a great album, and this review is mainly written as a rebuttal to the critical ones. “Layla” is the Clapton album this reminds me most of. In fact, to me the comparison is obvious, and they may rank as my two favorite Clapton albums. Both are testaments of pain, and each feature some of Eric’s best singing. The nature of the pain, and the singer’s response to it are vastly different, but that is what happens when the singer ages from 25 to 53, and on “Pilgrim” you can hear more resolution to life’s struggles, as befits his age.
Eric’s voice has never sounded better, before or since. On “Layla” his singing is raw and passionate, but listen to the first verse of “Brokenhearted”. That subtlety of execution is not something you hear in any early Clapton recordings, and it’s heart-wrenching. The man has really learned how to sing, and he does a masterful high-pitched soul wail on “Pilgrim” and “Inside of Me”, that one reviewer correctly notes as a send-up of Curtis Mayfield. And for those who complain “where’s Eric’s guitar?”, well, not only are there three cut-up blues rockers (although the strings on “Sick and Tired” seem almost deliberately out of place, like a spoof), but listen to what he is doing with the guitar on each song – great guitar doesn’t have to be loud or even up-front in the mix. And the acoustic work on “Circus” is reminiscent of the lively melancholy of “Can’t Find My Way Home” on “Blind Faith”. Some reviewers seem to find a preoccupation with the loss of Eric’s son Conor (as if the loss were somehow unworthy of it), but only “My Father’s Eyes” and “Circus” fit that category, and neither is maudlin, as “Tears in Heaven” could be considered. There are many other sources of Eric’s pain, and if you read his recent autobiography, you will find ample testimony to fit many of these songs, especially “You Were There”. One reviewer wasn’t sure “who this is about”, and it might be in part about a friend, but “Lord, you were there through the days of wine and madness when I always put you down” (I’m paraphrasing) suggests something more. Many reviewers complain about the drum tracks. Maybe a live drummer would have added a little more color to the album, but these songs are not fertile ground for a Ginger Baker anyway. The album does have a “late 90s sound”, but so it is with many classic works by Clapton and others – they are identifiable with their times.
To sample the range that this album offers, check out these tracks: “Brokenhearted” for it’s exquisite beauty, “Circus” for the masterful acoustic picking, “She’s Gone” for raw blues power, and “Inside of Me” for Eric the soul man. Might as well throw in “My Father’s Eyes” for its reggae-like rhythm and sharp pop sensibility. If I have a criticism of Eric Clapton’s discography, it would be that some of his albums sound like he’s on cruise control. He’s so good, he can turn out an enjoyable album without breaking a sweat. This is not to deny their quality or enjoyability, but “Pilgrim”, like “Layla” is not such an album. He sweats here, and bleeds. And it’s a must for your Clapton collection.

I don’t even have to get into this much. This is the funniest comic I’ve read, and best in the Scott Pilgrim series. Now keep in mind that there are not too many humorous comics out there, but I doubt anyone can top “Scott Pilgrim and the Infinite Sadness.” It’s just as if Bryan Lee O’Malley snorted a giant line of clever and went hulk on the entire volume. I laughed at every page. Even my criticisms were demolished in this volume, because in an effort to avoid further confusion, they put a map of all the characters and relations on the first page. Best idea ever for a book with this many characters. I have nothing at all bad to say about this book.
Need I convince you more? Volume 3 is the best yet! When Thanksgiving comes around I will be giving thanks to Scott Pilgrim for existing and bringing genuine laughs into my life. And for referencing all the great video-games and being friggin awesome!
May 14th, 2011 at 8:13 pm
This is the third book in the Scott Pilgrim series of comic books. This time, Scott has to battle the third of Ramona’s evil ex-boyfriends, who happens to be the current boyfriend of Scott’s evil ex-girlfriend. Another fun book, especially if you are a fan of indie rock and video games.

I started to read the series some years ago, with this book’s release, and have been following ever since. With the final book being released, I’m rereading and reviewing the earlier books.
The humor, action, and drama have finally come into perfect balance in this volume. O’Malley’s line work has come to the high level that we’ll see through the rest of the series. The characters are more flushed out and well-rounded. I believe this is the volume that turned the series into a phenomenon.
This book, and the series as a whole, is perfect for the 17 to 25 year old range, that are growing up in the same culture and going through the same experiences as Scott and his friends. Anyone up into their 30’s can get a kick out of the series, being able to look back and laugh about that time in their lives.
