Rating: Summary: Barely amusing Review: I have got to stop reading these Young Adult books. The story is based upon the Salem Witch Trials. Buffy, Xander, and Giles have very vivid dreams of Salem in 1692. Buffy dreams of Samantha Kane, Giles of her watcher, and Xander of Sarah Dinsdale. It seems as though the dreams are coming true, and history is set to repeat itself. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure the writer has ever seen an episode of Buffy. Giles telling a man he meets "You must be rich" ? That is so out of character it goes without saying. Then you have Buffy changing clothes to look better BEFORE checking on Xander to make sure he's ok? This books is filled with more horrible slang, and everyone is out of character. It doesn't read like Buffy at all. The plot is simple, predictable, and boring. I was never interested, and only finished it so I could write the review, and believe me, it was a struggle. There are better books out there, so save your money for something else.
Rating: Summary: A great read for Buffy fans! Review: I have read most of the Buffy books and have enjoyed every one of them but this one is a little different. It kept me going in circles but I guess that is why it is called the Night of the Living Rerun. I felt bad for Xander, but it was funny to see his "feminine side". If you are a Buffy fan or are just looking for something to read, you need to pick this one up:o)
Rating: Summary: Not even close! Review: I have seen all the episodes (except for one of them), and I have read all the books, and have read lots of the fan fiction out there... Most of them do the show quite a bit of justice, but this one was just terrible. The storyline was nearly impossible to follow, the characters were constantly saying or doing something completely OUT of character for them. (I have yet to hear Giles use even half that amount of common slang) and all in all I would rather be forced to watch bad reruns of 90210 or Barney than to have to try to struggle through this particular book again. All the others are great! Both series are great and I look forward to each new book, but this one will be leaving my possession in tiny pieces.
Rating: Summary: This Book was Great! Review: I have seen every episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and this book does a great job of putting the characters in text. In an evil plot to open the Hellmouth, the Master controls the dreams of Buffy and her friends. The dreams take place in Puritain times, during the Salem Witch Hunt. Buffy dreams she is the Slayer, a witch hunter named Samantha Kane, Giles dreams he is her ailing watcher and Xander dreams he is... a witch?! The arrival of several strangers in town leads Giles and Buffy to the conclusion that the events that prevented The Depised One from rising 300 years ago are being repeated to let the master out of his lair. I recommend this book to everyone. It is an imaginative story that puts a twist on the Salem Witch Trials. BUFFY ROCKS!!!
Rating: Summary: Best for casual Buffy fans Review: I just finished reading this book and was disappointed by it. The author obviously didn't know the show and the characters well so he chose to write more about characters and events from the past than he did about the characters of Buffy. There were a few interesting parts. The showdown with the Master and the possessed characters wasn't bad although I wouldn't have staged it at a steakhouse. I don't know what that was about. But on the whole, if you are looking for action, you will find it. But if you are truly immersed in Buffyness, I would try another book.
Rating: Summary: Rock On Buffy!! Review: I Love buffy. My room is wallpapered with the show (well..Buffy & Angel) I do everything related. I write my own stories, draw pics..buy stuff, and just about anything else an obsessed fan can do. Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz are my favorite people. And Im excited about Angel's own show. The book lost me a little. It was written well but it was a little hard to follow. I would recomend ALL the buffy books. They're great
Rating: Summary: A Great Buffy Book! Review: I love the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer so of course I thought it was kinda cool they had a book about it but I wasn't sure. Let me tell you though it was really cool, I think all Buffy Fans should read this book!!!
Rating: Summary: Too messy,I'll say... Review: I think there's way too many characters and villians in this book.You'll keep forgetting which is which and you'll end up with a headache.The best part is when Buffy's and Xander's former self meet.
Rating: Summary: I loved the Book Review: I thought it was one of the best Buffy books. Some of them are boring. I admit, I was confused the first time I read the book, but after a second time, I got little details and loved it. I couldn't put it down!
Rating: Summary: My Review Review: I thought this was a great book. I love how the different authors are finding ways to link Buffy and the Scoobs to the past. Take for instance, "Tales of the Slayer: Volume 1" which is yet another great book.
