Summary: i liked this buffy book!
Review: "The Willow Files Volume 2" is one of the best novelizations of the Buffy series. It captures three amazing episodes revolving around Willow and tells them wonderfully. I had never seen "Dopelgangland" when i read this, later when i eventually saw it i was a little disapointed as the book had made it even better. This is a must-read for everyone, even if you have already seen the episodes .

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Pass it off...
Review: After reading this book it has effected me in no ways. It is not one of those books that you can't get enough of, and that stays in your mind. I thought that all the action was too normal. Buffy is supposed to deal with supernatural, creepy stuff. Well in my opinion nothing caught my attention. This book yo me was one I would not read unless I was forced to for a grade or something, maybe not even then. After reading about the 3rd chapter I did not want to read anymore because there was no action or any creep. I think it only deserves 2 stars because i thought it was a really bad book.
A little bit about the book is it takes place in Sunnydale, where all theh "supernatural" stuff goes down. Willow is the library nerd, she's in there all the time. She meets this guy over the internet. Their friendship grew and she fell in love with him, so they were going to meet. But there was something she didn't know about him and when she finds out she is going to be shocked!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My first "Buffy" novel but definately not my last!
Review: I have a soft spot in my heart for Willow and wasn't disappointed with the way author Navarro brought her to life. Even though I had already seen the three episodes the book was based upon I still found myself smiling at all of the accurate "Buffy" wit and happily became entranced with the stories again.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: i liked this buffy book!
Review: I like to read a lot of Buffy books, even though some are hard to read, like the adult Buffy books. But this one was scary and fun to read. This is probably one of my favorites, along with Xander Files, Vol. 1. Willow falls head over heels in love with a demon-robot, because Giles scanned this book that had a demon onto the computer. Then she falls in love with Oz, who turns out to be a werewolf. In dead man's party, a bunch of zombies were coming to Buffy's house because of this mask that her mom had. Ooh, creepy. But it's fiction. Willow is great in this book. I recommend it to Willow fans, like me!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Totally cool and all about Willow!
Review: I like Willow, probably 'cause I'm just like her. Anyway, this book is a novelization of 3 eps from the show(I Robot,You Jane, Phases, and Dead Man's Party)that are basically about Willow. My fave is "Phases."

I hope the author writes another book like this about Willow. If she does I know the next 3 eps she should use(Lover's Walk, Gingerbread, and Dopplegang Land)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Faith and Willow are tight!!!
Review: I loved "Willow files vol. 1",so I couldn't wait until volume 2. Navarro does an excellent job turning these 3 excellent episodes into a novel."Doppelgangland" is probably the most interesting willow episode of both files.I'm so glad they picked episodes that featured the evil Faith,she is so tight!I think that "Choices" should have been contained in the upcoming novel "Faith trials".But what can you do?Overall this is better than "Willow files vol. 1",and should be read by any Faith or Willow fan.Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great show Good book
Review: I loved this book. Even though Buffy is my fave character in the show this book made me like Willow alot more. And the Oz And Willow relationship is really cute. If you like the show this is a good book for you!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Finally the focus is on the redhead: A Trio of Willow Treats
Review: It is interesting to look back and see how few episodes during the first three seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer actually focused on our beloved Willow. The Wicca in training is pivotal in two of these three novelized tales and has a great speech but minor role in the third. From the first season we have "I, Robot . . . You, Jane" in which Willow accidentally unleashes Moloch the Corruptor into cyberspace while scanning book on demons into the computer. There is a wonderful scene in this story where Buffy, Willow and Xander bemoan their lousy loves lives (involving a vampire, a demon and a she-mantis respectively). "Phases" from the second season of Buffy is where Willow learns that Oz is a werewolf, which is really more about him than her, but he is her boyfriend it does matter to her (and justifies the picture on the cover). Finally, we have "Dead Man's Party," which heralded Buffy's return from her self-imposed exile in L.A. from the earliest part of the third season. As I indicated above, Willow does not have a lot to do in this episode, but she does have one of her best moments when she reads Buffy the riot act after discovering the Slayer packing to leave town again.

Buffy novelizations only get four stars because five stars are reserved only for original Buffy stories. But one of the things I especially liked in Yvonne Navarro's novelization is that her framing device consists of daily journal entries from Willow's computer. Not only is that in keeping with Ms. Rosenberg's character, it also allows some insights laid out in Willow-speak (you have to hear her words in your mind for this to work). This is much more effective than most of the other bridging devices employed by writers of other Buffy novelizations. Since Navarro's first novel "AfterAge" was about the end of the world as we know it courtesy of vampires, I am now going to have to track down one of her Buffy novels to see how she does on an original tale about the Slayer. More importantly, I eagerly await the new volume of "The Willow Files" which must surely include at least one of the Vamp Willow episodes, "The Wish" and/or "Doppelgangland," from season 3!
