Summary: An Exciting Book! Buy it!
Review: Unlike some former reviewers, I think this book was really exciting and interesting. I loved the druid idea. I think others who didn't like it just didn't get the point. There is more to Buffy than just kicking vampires' you-knows, and this has it. Buy this book, it's worth it!

Summary: Not great in the least {try to save your money on this one}
Review: Well, I have to say that I love the show, the characters, and the actors and actresses, but this book really sucked. I mean, it didn't capture the character's personalities as they would be on the show. It focused too much on Cordelia. I'm not saying that I don't like her character, but this is supposed to be a BUFFY book. Get it, Buffy, not Cordelia, Buffy. It was also really dissapointing that the author didn't catch the relationship battles between the character couples, {Willow/Oz, Buffy/Angel, and Xander/Cordelia.} The witiness meter {on a scale of 1 to 10} would be a -1. This book is not funny, and does not catch the wit of the characters. The author tried to use the "cool" lingo he thought was used in the show, but he overused it, making the characters sound so unlike they do on t.v. {Example: Cordelia: Like, pathetic much?} The authors of the other Buffy books are so much better at writing them that ths author. {Nancy Holder, and Christopher Golden are the regular authors.} I'm not saying that the author is a bad writer, it's just that he really sucks at writing Buffy books. Oz sounded the worst in this Buffy novel. His personality was really unlike him onscreen. Cordelia was too valley girl. Buffy used slang too much. Angel was too peppy. Willow wasn't innocent sounding enough. Xander wasn't witty enough. You get the picture. Well, the only reason it even gets one star, is that it was a Buffy book, and the show is really awesome. In my opinion, Child of the Hunt is soooo much better. It has a better plot, and captures the character's personalities well. Read that one, and save your money on Return to Chaos. I'm serious, I really like the book series, but this one was really bad. Final verdict: no way.

Summary: Druids to save Sunnydale's not-entirely-dead-yet lifes?
Review: When old Druid George and his three nephews Ian, Tom and Dave are in town, they stir up quite a wave. They aroused suspicions and concerns among the normal gang, as well as some hope for Xander and Oz, one hoping to learn some 'skills' to be useful to Buffy, while the other eager for his other half--the wolf side to be cured. Some romance started brewing between Buffy and Ian, but as usual, evil gets into the way. Unknown to them, their uncle George had other plans for them, which could lead them all into the gateway of Hellmouth.......This book is worth a read, with Buffy in it and all, and rates high in my Buffy-0-meter.
