I love the tv show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, but this book was not at all what I expected. I thought the story was boring and not well put together.
This is a fine original Buffy novel featuring all of the usual suspects facing mythic opponents and dealing with a gender face-off. Massie did a good job in capturing the personalities and voices from the show, better than many of the other writers who did stories contemporary with this one did. It's set in the high school years, when Oz was the man and after battle the gang would go hang at The Bronze... you know, when things were more fun and uncomplicated. Nostalgia is good for the soul.
In many ways I liked this concept, and I didn't have the puzzle figured out five chapters before the characters did, which was a refreshing change, but... casting the feminists as brainwashing/brainwashed bad guys? Really?! Especially for a franchise such as Buffy, this felt like a serious mis-step, and for that reason, two stars.
quem liga pros exageros? aff queria abraçar a buffy e esmagá-la com todo meu amor kkk amo demais
Excellent killing scence
For some odd reason I just could not get into this story, it bugged me and I took forever to finish reading it.In this book Buffy is up against something all together different goddesses / muses. They have come from Mt. Olympus to enforce "Womyn" power and to have the men be silent servants. Unfortunately a body is found drowned, and then another and another all with their brains missing. Buffy has to get to the bottom of this case as her friends and watcher are slowly manipulated to join the Wo...
I thought Massie did a fairly decent job, despite a tendency to overstate plot developments in a way that makes them seem clunky instead of clever. It was a fun read, she wrote Cordelia and Anya really well and the MotW was cool enough to keep me interested.
Better than I remembered, though the translucent heads was even sillier the second time round. Decently escapist. As I mentioned in a review of another Buffy book, it's amazing how quickly 90s lingo dates.
Bad, just bad. Stay away!
Great fun for any Buffy fan! Read just like an episode of the show :D
If you're a fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and are a big reader (why else would you be here?) you really ought to do yourself a favor and read these books. Author Elizabeth Massie captures the feel of "Buffy's" world so well that I could clearly see the characters come to life in my head. Although I did find the normally conversation challenged Oz to be a bit wordy here at times. He's the quiet sexy one (the perfect man, if you ask me) but he seemed to have quite a bit of dialogue in this story...
the monster of the week is feminism. yes, really. the straw womyn liquefy men’s brains. the happy ending involves a woman asserting her rightful place in the kitchen.on the other hand:-buffy has several internal monologues about not being a “typical” woman bc she’s a slayer and the baddies clock her as being “”””””””different”””””””-the main team is buffy oz and cordy!-anya is here and slams the baddies for not wanting to kill men enough (queen!)-buffy kidnaps giles and traps him in her basement...
Loved this one. The Moon family were unique villains and it was good to see Buffy, Oz and Cordy working together.
This was one of the books in the younger readers series for buffy. It's entertaining enough but not one of the better written ones. The plot is fairly standard but it was nice to see buffy, oz and cordelia working together. Not the best buffy book but it passed a few hours nicely enough.
An original novel inspired by the TV Series. Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.2 stars... This book was not very good, and I won't be reading any more from the author.3 stars... This book was ok, but I won't go out of my way to read more, But if I find another book by the a...
This would be considered a filler story in the series. All the females of Sunnydale are acting weird and Buffy is trying to find out why. It's not until the guys start acting weird that she links the sudden change to a new family in town. Buffy is faced with finding out how to stop what is going on while keeping those she cares about safe. An interesting read.
found this at the thrift store and HAD to read it. It was a good quick fun read. I am actually going to mail it to a lady in IA I talked to on the phone because her name is Viva and there is a vampire in the book called Viva:)
Love the fact that there are so many Buffy companion stories
Watchable late night tv fluff, based book. Doesn't come across with the "drama" of the tv show but was true to the characters.
