Fun, Fast-Paced Buffy Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I didn't read this one until now, even though it's been out a while. I'm trying to catch up on Buffy reading, since I'm sort of new (just two years) to the Buffy universe and want to catch all I can, on t.v. and off! This book is great! The characters in this book are just like they should be, full of fun, quirkiness, curiosity, courage, and determination. I love their quips and their quarrels even as the danger grows around town. I think the Muses (wow, were they irritating and nasty!) as antagonists are a great idea (I see that was used later in the show), and it sure does put up a major problem. How does Buffy kill creatures who cannot die? I've read at least 15 Buffy novels so far and this is a favorite. I hope Massie does more.

This is one woman's movement even NOW wouldn't support. When Ms Moon and her exceptional daughters move to town, the female popluation of Sunnydale take back the night, the day and anything else they can get their hands on. Boys are dying and Buffy must discover if there is an connection. The use of mythology is very good in this book. It is a change from the normal vampires and demons which gather around the hellmouth. Female fans will rejoice in the horror and humor. Male fans beware. Seriousily I recommend this book to readers of all genders.
The Best Buffy Book I've Read!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
As an avid fan of the show, I really enjoyed this novel. The mythological story line was intriguing, and the writing was excellent. Part of what makes this book so interesting is the unusual circumstances imposed on the characters in Sunnydale, and the way they act as a result. Unlike Purtalia's review, I don't feel that Oz's dialogue was uncharacteristically extensive, but rather warranted and fitting; and Cordelia's actions were quite appropriate given the situation. Instead, I feel this book gives readers the opportunity to visit these characters a bit more than "normal" Sunnydale circumstances permit. I would highly recommend this read!
The BEST Buffy book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I LOVED this book! It is one of the best Buffy books yet. I think the characters are very real, like in the show (Buffy, Oz, Willow, Xander) and the action is exciting! Read it to find out about the Moon family and why, even though I'm all for girls and boys being treated equally, these girls go way too far! I know people who are kind of like that, so that made it more fun to read to see what Buffy has to do!
