My favorite genre is graphic novels because I love looking at the art while I read. I feel that, by looking at visuals while reading, it makes the reader feel more into the action of the story, rather than just reading the words of a normal novel. I feel that graphic novels supply character and fun to the story, taking the reader on a trip along with the characters.
My favorite author is Bryan Lee O'Malley, who wrote two of my favorite books: Scott Pilgrim vs The World and Seconds. I love these two books because the style of the art is very cartoon-y and cute, along with humor, romance, and everything in between. Scott Pilgrim vs The World is about a guy named Scott who meets a new girl--Ramona Flowers. They like each other a lot but there is a catch; Scott has to defeat Ramona's "Seven Evil Exes" to be able to date her. The book is written with a lot of video game and pop culture references, which makes the story unique.
Seconds is a story about a young chef named Katie, who wakes up in the middle of the night to find a strange girl sitting on her old dresser warning her about something. Katie knocks it off as a dream and continues about her life, until she finds a red-capped mushroom in her dresser with a notebook, in which she is told to write her mistakes, eat a mushroom, and go to bed and wake anew. As any of us would, Katie takes advantage of it (and goes overboard). What she didn't realize is that there are consequences.
