Summary: Its A Book with Angel in it! What more can I say
Review: Ok. I may start to sound obsessed. If I do, that would be because I am. I read the book. Its really cool if your someone like me who likes to watch episodes of Buffy over and over. etc. I happen to tape the eps and watch them every single free minute I have. I enjoyed reading the book because of how it describes things you can only see on TV. David Boreanaz is the best. (you think i'm obsessed now...see my room)I do agree with whoever said that a book should be written about the guy thats not script. Nancy did a great job. She didnt leave out anything. I happen to know ALL the episode quotes by hart..especially "Angel" and she had it out word for word. I hope she will continue to write more books like that. I would definetly recomend it.

Summary: A great book for Buffy and Angel fans =)
Review: This was not the most adult or moving book that I have read, but the subject matter and the way in which it was treated gains my following. I hadn't seen many of the earlier episodes, and so I thought this would be a good way to learn more about the relationship between Buffy and Angel. The author's elaboration of the characters' thought-processes that could not be shown in the tv medium was admirably achieved, and I think that oftentimes the way in which Holden does so far surpasses the tv show; scenes that quickly come and go in the tv show have more significance and deeper meanings in a textual format. I think that people are attracted to the situation between Angel and Buffy precisely because it is a star-crossed love whose outcome we can't foresee. The tragedy of their love is one that makes their feelings for one another that much greater, and draws people to it as something out of the ordinary. Holden's book is a wonderful way to explore the always complex relationships between all the characters on the show, especially Buffy and Angel. I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen the earlier episodes detailing the relationship between Buffy and Angel, and even more so for those who have seen it.

Summary: Mystery Man
Review: In another book about the dashing vampire that stole Buffy's heart, Angel is attempting to let go, and not doing a very good job about it! He stalks Buffy everywhere she goes, but convinces her he doesn't love her. Now he's working on convincing himself.
This book is great so if you're a major fan of Buffy, you should get to know the mystery man that Buffy so dearly treasures!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love it, love it, love it!
Review: I absolutely love this book! I'm a HUGE Buffy fan and I have read most of Buffy novels, and I've gotta say, this one is the best. My most favorite one. I've read it before I saw Season 2 (about a year ago) and I was happy to know that Angel and Buffy were together. I find myself grinning like an idiot or making silly squeaky sound whenever I read this book coz the 2 are just adorable. I just couldn't put it down! It was the first book I've ever read in one day and I've read it over and over again. It's a must if you consider yourself a Buffy fan, if you're not, I still highly recommend it, you'll love it.

Summary: Ricardo's The Angel Chronicles vol 1 Review
Review: This book is great for Buffy/Angel shippers. It is a novelization of 3 Buffy episode. "Angel" Season 1 episode 7, "Reptile Boy" Season 2 episode 5, "Lie to Me" Season 2 episode 7. I loved reading this book. Nancy Holder did a great job of putting these episode on pager. Even after seening the episodes I still ejoyed the book. My favorite of the stories is "Lie To Me" mainly cause Spike and Dru. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars mainly cause to get a five the book would have to be a great as some of Nancy Holder's other books with co-wrighter Christopher Golden. (Child of the Hunt and The Gatekeeper Trilogy) This book is a for every fan.

RATING: 3/5 Stakes

SETTING: Season One ("Angel") and Season Two ("Reptile Boy" and "Lie to Me")

BACK-OF-THE-BOOK SUMMARY: "After a century of killing without a care, the vampire Angelus was cursed with a conscience and eventually fled to Sunnydale, where he restricted his feeding to blood banks. Until 16-year-old Buffy Summers, the Vampire Slayer, arrived in town to battle vampires, demons, and the Forces of Darkness. First, he has to convince her not to kill him. Then, he has to convince himself not to fall in love with her. Now, collected for the first time, are three stories from the cult-hit TV series chronicling the beginning of this star-crossed love story. Can Buffy and Angel survive life, death . . . and beyond?"

REVIEW
Volume One of the three-volume Angel Chronicles novelizes two strong Buffy episodes and one average episode.
The episode "Angel" from Season One is memorable for the dusting of Darla and the revelation that Angel is actually a vampire. The novelization does a good job of incorporating the humor and characterization of the script, and is especially adept at handling Buffy and Angel's first kiss.

"Reptile Boy" focuses on Buffy and Cordelia's involvement in a snake-worshipping cult of fraternity brothers. It's not an episode particularly worthy of novelization and doesn't actually contain a whole lot of Angel.

The theme of "Lie to Me" is, as the title implies, about lying: Angel, Willow, and former-sweetheart Ford all lie to Buffy at one point or another in the episode, and their actions have repercussions. One of the best of the Season Two episodes, the plot centers around a group of vampire wannabees trying to convince Spike to make them into the real thing. We're also treated to Buffy's first encounter--from a distance--with Drusilla.

It's hard to say much else about Volume One. Angel is only a subplot in two of the three episodes, so this probably isn't the best place to start for fans of the brooding vampire-with-a-soul. The novelizations are all straightforward with very little variance from the scripts and they do a good job of conveying the feel of the show.

Summary: Slayergirl2001
Review: The Angel Chronicles Volume 3 was great! It was obvioulsy about when Angel reverts to Angelus. I liked how they charcterized Angelus because to me the two personalities were really seperated much better than in the series by their thoughts. I especially liked (in how it was written) and hated (in the general sense) about the thoughts and the actions surronding Angelus killing Jenny Calander. Definently a must for any Buffy/Angel fan.

Rating: 5 stars
