Book Overview
Angel returned from Hell with his soul intact, but the price he paid was his relationship with Buffy Summers and his life in Sunnydale. In order to atone for his sins, he now fights for humanity in the dark, seedy underworld of the superficially glamorous city of L.A. Gunn, Fred and Lorne as they fight their own personal demons and the loneliness of the big city in their search for redemption. This unofficial fan bible is updated to include every episode of seasons three and four, encompassing the highlights of the show in categories such as: Dreaming (as Buffy often proves) is Free; The Charisma Show; There's a Ghost in My House; and Sex and Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll. It also focuses on the shared history of Angel and Buffy, the novels and the websites, draws attention to logic flaws and points out numerous pop-culture references.

I really liked reading this book. I have gotten all the Buffy and Angel television reviews by this author and I was glad to finally add this part to my collection.
excellent episode guide

This is a solid episode guide for fans of Angel. It isn't a fan-biased "everything is wonderful" type of guide (although I disagree strongly with some of their opinions. Season 5 was one of Angel's best, and this is a good recap for fans.
Great Book!

This is an excellent guide to seasons 1-4 of Angel. It has very interesting unknown facts. The one that I was most surprised about was that Charisma Carpenter was almost raped back when she was a cheerleader for the Chargers. But with a gun to her and her friends heads she refused to back down. For a more detailed description of this event buy the book.I also love how it had quotes from each episode. Usually the funniest ones. Go out and buy this now!
Excellent Angel episode guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Keith Topping is the best writer of tv episode guides in the business, and this book is another winner. What keeps Keith's guides at the top of the pile is his sense of humour and his infectious admiration for the shows he writes about. His Buffy guide, 'Slayer', is the best episode guide I've read about the show, and this book stands right alongside it as far as detail, opinion and humour go. If you want a dry, humourless bunch of lists and facts about Angel, give this book a miss. However, if you want a well written and opinionated book with so much detail that you'll re-read it again and again, then this is the book for you. If you are an avid viewer of Angel, you'll be going back to this book frequently.
Unique and interesting.

Unlike other episode guides, this book doesn't give the useless details showwing every action a character makes. For a Buffy and Angel fan such as me you probably seen every episode and season so you know what's going to happen. This book however does give you unique headings such as Logic Let Me Introduce You To This Window which features all the plot flaws, goofs and stunt double that look nothing like the actor. It also includes Dudes and Babes which takes a look at the cute guys and girls shown. The Charisma Show relives the funny and cool bits that Cordelia does. LA Speak gives quotes on the street talk seen on teh show. Designer Label highlights the fashion mistakes so when you watch the episode again you cna take a moment to laugh. It catches all the juicy details missing from regular guides and has a unique style.I recommend this book and Slayer ( Buffy version) because of it's uniqueness and is a simply must for any fan.
