Rating: Summary: The most realistic portrait of the Scoobies as teenagers Review: As if there is not enough fun stuff happening in Sunnydale, a carnival comes to town. Buffy, Xander and Willow head out for some serious rest and relaxation only to discover things are not as they seem and now the corpses popping up around town bear the marks of coyotes not vampires. But while Buffy is suspicious, Xander is smitten with Rose, a seductive siren from the carnival midway, while Willow has caught the eye of Lonnie, the barker. Somehow, you just know all the pieces are going to come together and it will then be Slayer time. My complaint, such as it is, is that John Vornholt has made Buffy, Xander and Willow more like real teenagers than they appear on the show, which ends up being something of a tradeoff with the show's trademark humor. I know how ironic it is to judge his realism by the standard of a television fantasy. This is still an above average Buffy novel. It is also rather interesting to read this book and know that Willow is going to end up dating Oz down the road, since our favorite gal pal spends some serious timing kissing a carney guy who turns out to be a werecoyote.
Rating: Summary: Coyote Moon, a five ticket ride Review: John Vornholt creates a haunted setting for this spooky story. A traveling carnival looks fun. But when the lights are turned off and the people have all gone home, it becomes a dangerous place for the slayer and her friends. When Buffy, Willow and Xander look for some harmless non-slaying fun they find more than they bargin for at the carnival. Also a pack of coyotes is terrorizing Sunnydale. Buffy must hunt them down before she becomes kibble and bits. A fun fast read, I recommend it to all Buffy fans.
Rating: Summary: Coyote Moon Review: This book was so cool,I looked for it every time I went to the library,and it was all ways out,so I reserved it and I'm glad I did!John Vernholt is an exellent author and I could not put this book down,it is so exiting,just like the show!It is about SkinCrawlers(or something along those lines),people who can change into coyotes,and Buffy must stop them,this is my favourite book.I highly recomend it.
Rating: Summary: Excellent suspense through the whole book. Review: John Vornholt really impressed me with this first rate teen thriller based on the tv show. This book didn't take me that long to read - thats only because I couldn't put it down. I strongly reccommend this to teens and Buffy fans. It is about Buffy, Willow and Xander eager to take a break from slaying vampires and what-not so they take a trip to the carnival that's come to Sunnydale, only to find out the two sexiest carnies are actually werecoyotes! Awesome book - don't let this fly by!
Rating: Summary: Could have been better. Review: Pathetic, is all I can say. The author got all the characters totally wrong, they don't sound like anything Buffy, Willow or Xander would say. It lacks of the Buffy's witty lines we all love. And Xander's jokes are even lamer than they usually are. But what disappoints me the most is Willow, she is NOT the Willow we know at all. The Scooby Gang will never leave Buffy out and go make out with some carneys, in Xander case, I can understand but Willow? She'll never do that. If you're a fan of big fan of Buffy and own all other Buffy books, then this one will just complete your list, if you aren't, avoid this book.
Rating: Summary: Could have been so much more... Review: Pity pity, that's what I've to say about this one. It could have been so good with a subject about werecoyotes ans shapeshifters. Instead it falls to average. The author got the characters totally wrong, especially Willow. It's also full of contradictions and stupid mistakes and there's total lack of suspense. If you're a Buffy fan, like me, you can still enjoy it. But for all others, pass on this one. I really expected more from a guy who has written over a dozen of Star Trek books.
Rating: Summary: Excellent reading for the fans of Buffy Review: This was one of the more spooky Buffy books that I have had the chance to read as it brings you into the world of the carnival people and tells about how they become a pack of coyotes when the moon is full.. Most of us have been to a carnival at least once in our lives and have imagined what it is really like once all the people are gone and the lights go out. This book tells us the behind the scenes scoop of this particular carnival and the sudden appearance of a pack of coyotes that end up terrorizing Sunnydale. As always in all the Buffy books, Buffy and her friends come out on top but not before tangling one on one with a new breed of monster. Even though I am older than the expected audience for this book, I am a fan of the show and really enjoyed the book.
Rating: Summary: ò¿ò Review: This is one of the best Buffy books I have read. It is clever and well done and it keeps you at the edge of your seat.
Rating: Summary: THIS WAS SOOO COOL! THIS ROCKS! Review: Coyotes and shapeshifters...whoa! I loved this book it was really good! I read it in one day! It made me feel I wanted to read on! The new characters were cool like Rose and it went into detail about the corpse which I love! The main characters like Buffy, Willow and Xander were so cool in this one and funny at the same time! I recomend this book to all Buffy fans! Shame I can't vote more than five! If you don't like this you suck! This book is the best! I loved the coyotes when they dug the graves up and how Buffy said to the carnie worker she wanted to hurl when she was snooping! The part when they said coyote moon was back as well was the best. So get out your house and buy this now! PS get child of the hunt as well!
Rating: Summary: The Best! Review: This was the best book you could read in the Buffy series - I think the person before me's review is just absorbed in Angel and doesn't carelessabout the novel - I read this book for a book report and it was the best!!
