Review Of Lost At Sea by Bryan Lee O’Malley

Many of you guys have heard of Scott Pilgrim, but have you ever wondered what O’Malley did before Scott Pilgrim? Well this is it. Lost At Sea is O’Malley’s first original work.

Here’s my review.

Raleigh needs to go soul searching for who she is.

First Off, I believe that anyone can relate to this main character. Raleigh just graduated from high school, but she’s not sure of her placement in the world. 

I’m sure if you’re reading this review you have felt depressed once or twice in your life. Everyone has.

I would say that Lost at Sea has a much more serious tone than Scott Pilgrim and because of that the book can be a great motivational pickup if you’re dealing with problems in relationships or you feel like you don’t belong. 

The characters in this book have great realistic moments and dialogue that hit your heart in a good way. The art also has a great way of drawing you into what the characters are feeling.

The story starts out with Raleigh and three other people on a road trip, but she’s not sure why she’s there. Raleigh was accidently called by a group of fellow graduates. It was perfect timing though because she missed the train back home while she was on her own journey of escape. (A trip she took to visit her love interest and father.)

The group consists of Stephanie, Dave, and Ian. Each person is quirky in their own way which makes this a fun read.

Raleigh needs to find her soul physically and emotionally. Did I mention that Raleigh thinks she actually doesn’t have a soul? And to top things off she keeps dreaming of cats.

Even though it’s a far fetch idea that a mother sold her daughter’s soul to the devil and then the soul was given to a cat; this story does a great job of making everything about this story feel realistic with a deeper meaning. 

Overall, this is a fun unique story. I love it and would recommend this to anyone especially if you’re going through high school or college. Two years ago when I first read this book it gave me an emotional pull up I needed while I was an upcoming senior in high school.

My only complaint is that this was a quick read and that I was so emotionally attached to these characters that I wanted to see more. This is the type of book you will want to re-read many times. Bryan Lee O’Malley is a great writer and in my opinion he’s a gateway drug for new readers interested in comic books.

5 out of 5.
