Summary: unseen long way home buffy the vampire slayer/angel-book 3
Review: the 3rd book in this series was a total let down, spike could have been given a better story line and Angel's character was not well written, Gun's few scenes were unimaginable and not very creative, Mrs.Holder usually writes the characters of buffy better than this. My advice don't even bother with this book unless you don't have any other buffy books to read and are desperate

Summary: nice ending to a great series
Review: the second book left off with buffy and angel going into the
alterealiteas to try and bring the missing teenagers home.
they are seperated and find that they must fight a slew of
demons in order to find the teens. meanwhile spike decides to
get heroic and jumps in the portal after them. the scooby gang
back in sunnydale think that they could still use some more
help so they bust faith out of prison to come to the resuce.
this book is full of adventure and surprise. it has a good
grip on the changes in the personalities of the characters
since buffy and angel split and even throws in a few good
jealous lines coming from riley that he is left behind and is
only human whereas angel comes out like the superhero. this
3 part series was great and i hope that authors write more
crossovers considering that there probaly wont be any more on
the television shows. and to all you avid readers, dont miss
the lost slayer series. that tops all. they are short books
but you will be ticked that the next one will not be out for
a month.

Summary: Some of the scenes work...but not together
Review: There seem to be some continuity problems with this novel, or maybe it's just too complicated. There are too many characters packed in, and a lot of times I'm left wondering "why are they in there?" The part about Faith in prison is interesting, but it seems to me she was added to the plot just so they could use those scenes. Willow dies on one page (relax, she's a major character, we know they'll bring her back, just after a lot of work) forget the lot of work: the next thing we know she's just up and now the phone is dead. (Looks like they cut something there and forgot to clean up). The back cover says that the door is closed when one of the people they are trying to rescue is klilled: doesn't happen. There's supposed to be some temptation about finding a pleasant alternity - tacked on in one paragraph, not really there. Spike get's in, but doesn't go anywhere. Other characters have cameos. Needs fewer cameos and more continuity. If you are a big time Buffy or Angel fan, or if you've already read the preceding parts and just need an ending, then read it. Otherwise, give this one a pass.

Summary: Didn't care for the characterizations
Review: This book seemed pretty flat to me, compared to the characters on the TV show. Especially the sub-plot surrounding Spike. There was a lot "happening" in this book, but I couldn't be moved to care much. Unlike the show, where you can go from tears to laughing out loud in a heartbeat.

Summary: Lost Without a Map!
Review: Volume Two if this series, "Door to Alternity," left us hanging as Buffy and Angel prepared to leave this world to search through alternate universes for those missing from L.A. and Sunnydale. Entering through separate portals their plan was to meet on the other side, track down the missing, and return in one piece. Sound easy? It might have been in the planning stages, but Spike's last minute decision to jump through the portal in search of a more vampire friendly world destroys the link between Tara, Willow, Dona Pilar, Alina and Buffy. Suddenly Buffy, Angel, and Spike as well are stranded separately, in serious trouble, with no idea how to proceed. While those left behind struggle to reestablish the link, each of the adventurers finds themselves faced with unexpected opposition. Buffy materializes just in time to find herself in unarmed combat with a dragon. No sooner is that peril vanquished when she comes under attack by an overly aggressive suit of armor. She manages another escape and enters a castle where she is chased everywhere by giant guard rats down halls with lots (really lots) of doors. Angel appears and discovers that he must rescue a damsel in distress from several very bad guys. When said damsel takes Angel home to meet her witch grandmother Angel suddenly finds he is deep in combat with the rest of the very, very bad guys. And Spike? Spike finds himself in what first appears to be vampire heaven, complete with rivers running with blood. When he talks to several other vampire residents he discovers that rather than heaven, he has landed in the multiverse's only vampire zoo. Escape he does, but finds that he is running from of a world full of people who keep zapping him with ray guns. Meanwhile, back home, Tara, Willow, and Dona Pilar have figured out how to reestablish contact and an emergency jailbreak is engineered to send in the shock troops, Faith. At some point, the hysterical reader will realize that almost everyone who could appear in this Buffy story actually does, right down to a certain Sunnydale mayor. On top of this we have innumerable dimension hopping monsters, battling Russian and Hispanic gangs, and even the L.A. police. Wherever you read, something is coming to a boil. Somehow, Nancy Holder and Jeff Mariotte manage to keep things together and maintain pace throughout the entire novel. From a character viewpoint things have stabilized and the Riley/Buffy and Tara/Willow relationships work much more effortlessly than in previous volumes. I don't think you will be disappointed. This whole series is a must read for diehard Buffy fans, and bodes well for future volumes.
