When people ask me what my favourite graphic novel is I'm going to tell them it's Seconds. This book was a fantastic show of everything Bryan Lee O'Malley does best. The mix of fantasy and character driven storytelling makes Seconds both distinct and familiar in a cozy-sweater sort of way. Harking back to old fashion fairytales with that Scott Pilgrim like originality makes this graphic novel a must read.

I am always impress by the quality of the artwork in O'Malley's books. In Seconds the artwork is fantastic with a captivating style and beautiful colouring. Seriously, the colouring!!! Nathan Fairbairn deserves a round of applause.

This book also hit me on a really personal level. I've been in the kind of mood lately where I really appreciate the idea of second chances. That feeling of "if I could only change this one thing then everything would be better." is something that leaps off the page and takes me to that place of thinking about what I would change. I could easily see myself spiralling in the same way Katie does if I was given the chance to have unlimited chances. I love how this book hits the nail on the head and makes this wishful thinker think twice.

I really loved this book and I'm willing to bet I'll be reading it for a second time before the night is through. Highly recommended for all graphic novel readers! This graphic novel is a complete standalone story that doesn't take very long to consume so it is more than worth the effort of checking out.
