Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Different, but after all, very Good!
Review: Even if the writer's style differs from the other books we are used too, Ravana offers great suspence and absolute fun!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Resurrecting Ravana
Review: First I should tell you that I love Buffy books. I have read everyone published and have loved them all except this book. The only reason I kept reading this book to the end was I was hoping the plot would improve or something would happen. The characters are not true to form. This book lacks the quips that make BTVS great. The book tried to focus on the relationship of Willow and Buffy while leaving the other relationships hanging in mid air.I could excuse this but it did a bad job of displaying the emotions of both Willow and Buffy. DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ravanna
Review: I am a big Buffy fan and I loved this book. I found it well paced and the characters were adultlike and still fun. They were the people from the series. I want to read more books by this writer. He's way cool.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well Written
Review: I thought the characterization was very well done. The book moved at a good pace. I would recommend this book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Garton Enchants With 'Ravana'
Review: I used to buy all the Buffy novels, but as of late, some of them seem to be lacking. A friend told me how great 'Resurrecting Ravana' was and I decided to try it out. This is the first book I've read by Ray Garton (dunno if he's written others) and I was shocked by how amazing this book was.

The characters are deep and the author shows a great understanding of them. The pace is always fast and keeps you reading. And whenever evil lurks, you never have the automatic feeling Buffy has to win because she's the good guy. If you like Buffy, or just like any stories about the supernatural, PICK THIS ONE UP!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Superior Buffy book
Review: I've been reading (sporadically) the Buffy paperbacks in the order of publication. I'm 2/3 through this one (the 9th) and it's by far the best yet. (Gatekeeper Trilogy would've been up there if it had been condensced into one volume.) Don't know if Ray Garton has penned more Buffys since but I'd stop the reading in order of publication date to read his. And I'll check out other non-Buff novels by Garton as well.
Oh, I'll revise my rating to 5 if the conclusion is on a par with the rest of the book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not so bad.
Review: I've read better Buffy novels than this one, such as Child of the Hunt and the books in the Gatekeeper Trilogy, but this was still pretty good. True, some of the dialogue and some of the actions were out of character, but it was an entertaining read, which I think is the important part. I wouldn't reccomend this if you're only going to read one Buffy book, but it's worth reading if you really love the series.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Really Good
Review: It was better than I thought it'd be. It has more gore then some of the other books I've read, though. So, if that bothers you (how could you be a Buffy fan and let blood bother you? ) don't read it. I couldn't wait to finish it. (Because, unlike SOME books, you really don't know what's going to happen. i wanted to finish it to find out, not because it was bad).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ressurecting Ravana
Review: Mr. Garton captured the personalities of the characters. I want to read more books by Mr. Garton. He knows how to move a plot and build suspense.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Solid Buffy
Review: One of the stronger entries in the book series, and the most adult. The characters are more believably drawn than usual, true to their T.V. personaes but with an added dimension not often found in the books.

This one reads almost like a murder mystery or detective novel, and has less slam-bang action than usual. Suspense is maintained, red herrings are offered, and the action is refreshingly economical (and more effective for it). The ending is satisfying, but has a slightly rushed quality to it.

My only regret about this author is that he hasn't penned more Buffy books. This is an auspicious debut. Resurrecting Ravana is a good entry to interest the newbies, and will certainly satisfy the fans.
