Rating: Summary: Three Tales of Friendship and Devotion Review: The Willow Files is a novelization of three episodes which focus on Buffy's best friend Willow,the quiet computer nerd. In the first story she has an online romance with dire consequences. The second is a story of love. Willow has to deal with changes in her new boyfriend. Dead Man's Party the last story explores Buffy's and Willow's friendship. I enjoyed the way the author ties the three together. Willow and Buffy fans will enjoy this book. But even someone who has never seen the TV series would find these stories a good read.
Rating: Summary: Willow Review: The Willow Files is another excellent book in the Buffyseries. This book made the first season episode I Robot,You Jane looklike an episode actually worth paying attention;added flare to the episode Phases;and the last episode,Dead Man's Party,doesn't seem like a Willow episode but still is pretty good.A worth-while read for all Buffy fans,especially if you like Willow.
Rating: Summary: Three bewitching tales Review: This contains the novelization of three teleplays which center on the character of Willow. Gingerbread is a chilling tale of fear and prejudice. A Hansel and Gretel demon breeds terror and hate in Sunnydale. Parents turn against their children. Witches are once again threatened with burning and Buffy finds herself tied to a stake. In the second Doppelgangland, Anya tricks Willow into doing a spell to restore her necklace and her demon powers. The spell backfires and Willow opens a door to a world where she is a vampire. The vamp Willow is trapped in the real Sunnydale. Willow must deal with her evil self. The final story is Choices. While Willow is a central character in this plot it is actually part of a larger story arch for Buffy and Angel as well as Faith. For this reason I am not sure this story stands on its own. My one concern is that perhaps another teleplay should have been chosen to complete the trilogy. The entire gang is makes choices for their post high school lives. Willow is captured by Faith and the Mayor. The journal entries try to tie the stories together but they are ramblings not as tight as the normal bindings found in these novelizations. I have given it four stars instead of five for that reason. I did enjoy the book. I would recommend this book to people who have not seen the episodes or for fans of the Willow character.
Rating: Summary: A *must* for Willow lovers! Review: This is a DEF. must for Willow lovers! Even tho the book isbased on three episodes, the author brings Willow to life in all ofthem. Her personality is just brought out perfectly in all three stories. Even her quirkiness is there. I truly recommend it for everyone but esp. you Willow lovers out there!
Rating: Summary: Willow & Oz rocks! Review: This is a must read book for Willow & Oz fans! She shows what teens have to go through for love. She doesn't let anything get her down, even before Oz came into her life.
Rating: Summary: Another great Buffy book! Review: This one is great! Willow is my favorite character, and this book is all about her! It's written really well, and I like knowing not only what Willow is doing but what she is thinking and feeling while fighting vampires and other creatuers along with Buffy and Xander and everybody else! I hope all other Willow fans will get a copy!
Rating: Summary: COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN Review: this was an excellent book i couldn't put it down. they have great stories about willow who happens to be my fav. even though they are based on the 3 shows i found the book better, i really think the author should make another book that has the ep. WILD AT HEART in it. i garunte the readers that they will love this book as much as i do
Rating: Summary: Willow's Tales Review: Three stories are set in this book: Gingerbread Doppelgangland Choices All three are based on the teleplays of Buffy the Vampire tv series. As a newcomer to the Buffy world via books and the series, I was pleased to be able to read this book about my favorite character, Willow. I haven't seen these shows so I was coming into this book fresh, and I highly enjoyed them. I could picture the voices of the characters as I read, and I got a full "program" in my head while I read these stories. Yvonne Navarro doesn't make a dry read, her stories are creative and enjoyable. The book is aimed at a younger crowd (16 and up) but for Buffy fans they will highly enjoy this new series of the Buffy clan.
Rating: Summary: More adventures of our favorite red-headed Wicca Review: When you first see what three episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" are novelized by Yvonne Navarro in this second collection devoted to everybody's favorite red-headed Wicca you might be a bit disappointed since we get "Doppelgangland" but not "The Wish." But then I suppose it would be too much to get both of the infamous "Vamp Willow" episodes in the same volume. "Gingerbread" has Sunnydale's parents up in arms with Joyce Summers leading M.O.O. (Mothers Opposed to the Occult) and trying to burn Buffy, Willow and Amy at the stake. "Dopplegangland" has the Vamp Willow from Cordelia's wished for world where Buffy never came to Sunnydale showing up in the "real" Sunnydale, at which point wackiness ensues. "Choices" seems an odd choice, since Willow is basically held hostage by Faith most of the episode, but it does have too of her finest moments. Navarro links the episodes together with entries from Willow's computer files, as she deals with deciding what she wants to do with her life. Since none of these episodes have managed to make their way onto video tape, these novelizations are a nice way of preserving our memories of our favorite Buffy episodes (or filling in gaps if, horrors, we have actually missed an episode or two).
