Summary: Download three stories about Buffy the Non-Vampire Slayer
Review: Actually the most memorable character in the three episodes selected for novelization in the first volume of "The Angel Chronicles" is Kendra the Vampire Slayer. In "Halloween" Buffy does not remember she is the Slayer, which puts the emphasis on Willow (now a ghost) and Xander (now a soldier). "What's My Line" is the two-parter that introduced Kendra and finds the second Slayer arriving in Sunnydale just when Buffy is wigging out over what she is going to be when she grows up (Career day in high school will do that to you). We also have Spike and Dru running around causing fun. So what these three episodes have in common is that they deal with Buffy NOT being the Slayer. All of these episodes are from the second season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and if you missed them or what to enjoy them again in albeit a slightly different form, you can now download them through the wonders of modern technology to read at your own convenience.

Summary: Actually, this one is more like the Kendra Khronicles
Review: Actually the most memorable character in the three episodes selected for novelization in the second volume of "The Angel Chronicles" is Kendra the Vampire Slayer. In "Halloween" Buffy does not remember she is the Slayer, which puts the emphasis on Willow (now a ghost) and Xander (now a soldier) to save the day when Spike decides Buffy is ripe for the slaying. "What's My Line" is the two-parter that introduced Kendra and finds the second Slayer arriving in Sunnydale just when Buffy is wigging out over what she is going to be when she grows up (Career day in high school will do that to you). We also have Spike and Dru running around causing fun along with a very strange trio of assassins. So obviously what these three episodes have in common is that they deal with Buffy NOT being the Slayer. Maybe they are the Angel chronicles because dead boy is pretty much of the sidelines watching the proceedings (except when Kendra tries to waste him). All of these episodes are from the second season of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and if you missed them or what to enjoy them again in albeit a slightly different form, you can now download them through the wonders of modern technology to read at your own convenience and fill in any existing gaps in your Slayer history.

Summary: Jhaeman's Review
Review: ANGEL CHRONICLES VOL. 2
Richie Tankersley (1999), based on teleplays "Halloween" by Carl Ellsworth, "What's My Line, Part 1" by Howard Gordon & Marti Noxon, and "What's My Line, Part 2" by Marti Noxon

RATING: 3/5 Stakes

SETTING: Season Two

CAST APPEARANCES: Angel, Buffy, Cordelia, Spike, Xander, Willow, Giles, Principal Snyder, Larry, Ethan Rayne, Drusilla, Oz, Dalton, Kendra, Willy

BACK-OF-THE-BOOK SUMMARY: "The course of love in Sunnydale never runs smoothly, especially for Buffy Summers the Vampire Slayer and her boyfriend, Angel the vampire. They're going through the usual early stages of a romantic relationship--dressing to impress, going on coffee dates, and saving the world. When Buffy tries to be more like the girls from Angel's distant past, she succeeds a little too well--becoming helpless in the face of real evil.
Career week at school finds Buffy questioning her future as the Slayer--and all the relationship baggage that title comes with--until an unexpected ally gives new insight into her calling. And when Angel is taken hostage by an old aquaintance [sic] with sinister plans, Buffy realizes she must draw on all her passion to save the one she loves. Now, collected for the first time, are three stories from the hit-TV series chronicling Buffy and Angel's growing romantic relationship."

REVIEW

Volume 2 of the Angel Chronicles novelizes three strong Second Season episodes. The novelizations stick very close to the scripts, with the only original material being a new prologue and a new epilogue.

In "Halloween," Buffy and her friends are transformed into the people they've dressed up as for Halloween--thus, Willow becomes a real ghost, Xander becomes a soldier, and Buffy turns into a simpering eighteenth century noblewoman. A good example of how the show can be humorous without becoming stupid and silly (contrast some season four episodes) makes "Halloween" a good read.

"What's My Line" parts 1 and 2 introduce Kendra the Vampire Slayer and sees Buffy attempting to survive a trio of assassins while facing teen career-fair angst. These episodes have some fun action sequences, introduce a whole new dimension to Cordelia and Xander's relationship, and provide more insight into how Buffy views her life. Spike and Drusilla play a major role in part 2.

Much like Volume 1 of the Chronicles, Angel fans should note that their gel-haired favorite is mostly on the sideline in the first story, although "Halloween" does have a few touching scenes involving Buffy and Angel's failed first date.
The "What's My Line" stories contain more Angel, as his presence is a major plot point in Spike and Drusilla's plans.

Overall, Richie Tankersley delivers a smooth, straightforward adaptation of all three episodes with no surprises.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I just couldn't put this book down!
Review: Even though I'd seen all the episodes this book is based on, I just couldn't put it down!! I think it's a great idea to put the best series on TV into book form. I can't wait for the rest of the books to come out in England!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best one ever to date
Review: Excellent, absolutely brilliant. I'm a big Buffy fan and I've read most of Buffy books and this one is my favorite one ever. It features 3 of the most classical Buffy episodes. They couldn't have picked any episode better than these 3. They are funny and well-depicted. The thoughts of the characters are funny, awkward and adorable at the same time. This one is even better than the Angel Chronicles Vol. 1 coz Buffy and Angel's relationship has grown stronger and their love for each other is irresistable. You have to read it to love it. If you're a buffy fan, this one is a must, if you're not, get it anyway, you'll love it.
