3.5*

I don't think I've ever read this book before but I found some pages have previously been dog eared and put back so maybe I did and it's been too long. I didn't even remember the story though.

Anyway. I give this books a 3.5 rating because although it's not the best book ever, it's not one of the best either. Some things; passages and way of speech rang true to the characters on the show and other things seemed a but off. I liked that Buffy's guy from the original movie, from LA was there and there was so much potential. You do have to read the origins comics to understand more so it's all cool.

I liked this book. It was a feel good, change the scenery, fast enough read though I did take a few days. It's cool.

If you're a Buffy fan, you'll love this book. It is filled with the witty banter, and sarcastic humor of the series, as well as the action, mayhem and all the slaying fans of the show loved so much. It was a fun book to read, and a quick read, a bit nostalgic for me, a die-hard fan of the television series.

This one felt quite slow going - it took a long time to "reveal" the villain (and even longer for the second reveal, happening just pages before the end) in a way that made it quite unsatisfying to read, with very little payoff.

There were a lot of different elements introduced and I'm not sure they all felt really necessary; they didn't tie in, and I feel like there were some themes about paternal relationships that could have been developed a bit further.

Just finished this...and while I don't think Christopher got "Oz"'s voice right (too much jabbering) I loved this story. It did what a book hasn't done in a long while, kept me up trying to finish it (I couldn't do it, still had over 100 pages, and still needed to work tonight, now in fact) -- but, good story. And I always wondered what happened to Pike (so close to Spike...coincindence???)
