Summary: Nice reads
Review: Before I go on, I want to say that I'm don't watch Buffy often. I've seen a few episodes but I'm not much of an avid fan. So what I say, I hope, is unbiased. I'm a person from the outside rather than inside. The Buffy Trials book is volume one of the the novelization of the teleplays about the beautiful but wild slayer named Faith. These four tells chronicle the life of Faith from the first time she entered Sunnydale to her deal with the Mayor. In "Faith, Trick, & Hope" we see Faith entering into the world of Sunnydale. This story is an establishment of her as a character. She's the "new slayer in town" as Oz puts it. In "Revelations" Faith gets a new Watcher and that turns out diastrous. In "Bad Girls" we see Faith influencing Buffy with her "bad" ways. But Faith's wild attitude causes somebody to die. The last story, "Consequences", Faith turns to the evil side runned by the Mayor. From a person that doesn't watch the Buffy show (out of the four, I've only seen one), I found the whole book an enjoyable read. You don't need to watch the episodes because the author has everything you need to know in the stories. In some ways, the novelizations has the upperhand. You get actual thought perceptions of characters. It doesn't matter if you watch Buffy or not, this book is a fun and fascinating read into the world of Faith the Slayer.

Summary: Faith the Rogue Slayer, five by five and living large
Review: Faith the Rogue Slayer gets her turn to be the focus on a collection of novelized episodes from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." In "The Faith Trials" we find four episodes from the third season of the series focusing on the "other" Slayer. If Kendra, the first "other" Slayer was too devoted to duty, then Faith is definitely too much of the free spirit as was clear with her first appearance in "Faith, Hope & Trick." There was a new Slayer in town with a totally new attitude. The other episodes novelized by James Laurence are "Revelations," with the "bad" watcher Gwendolyn Post, "Bad Girls," where Faith accidentally kills the Mayor's assistant during a girl's night out that goes horribly wrong, and "Consequences," where an unrepentant Faith ends up joining forces with the evil Mayor. Obviously this leaves room for further episodes from the Faith the Rogue Slayer story arc for the next volume of "The Faith Trials," which we eagerly await. If you (horrors) missed these episodes or like to read over the stories from favorite episodes not available on tape, you will want to download this book. Once you find out how easy it is, you can download more Buffy books!

Summary: Five by five and livin' large: The Faith Trials, Volume 1
Review: Having focused on Angel, Xander and Willow in previous collections of novelized episodes from "Buffy the Vampire Series," we now come to the first volume of "The Faith Trials," featuring a quartet of episodes from the series' third season. If Kendra, the first "other" Slayer was too devoted to duty, then certainly Faith is too much of the free spirit. This was clear from the start with her first appearance in "Faith, Hope & Trick" where it was clear there was a new Slayer in town with a totally new attitude. The other episodes novelized by James Laurence are "Revelations," with the "bad" watcher Gwendolyn Post, "Bad Girls," where Faith accidentally kills the Mayor's assistant during a girl's night out that goes horribly wrong, and "Consequences," where an unrepentant Faith joins forces with the Mayor. Obviously this leaves room for further episodes from the Faith the Rogue Slayer story arc for the next volume of "The Faith Trials." If you missed these episodes or like to read over the stories from favorite episodes not available on tape, you will want to pick up this book. Not as good as some of the original stories offered in Buffy books, but still worth owning. There are also some excellent full page color shots of Eliza Dushku as Faith. Note: The cover claims that one of the teleplays novelized in this volume "Enemies," but it really is "Revelations." Fortunately, both were written by Douglas Petrie, so he did not lose a cover credit.

Summary: The Best Buffy
Review: I love this book and I hope and pray that the author makes another book and makes it become a series because then that would be my favorite series because I love Faith and I love reading about her and she deserves her own Trials!!
Rating:
Summary: Five By Five
Review: I must say that I loved this book. It was great to have an entire book dedicated to the wild slayer named Faith. Even though the cover says "Faith, Hope, and Trick," "Bad Girls," "Enemies," and "Consequences," it has "Revelations" instead of "Enemies." Either way, the book still would have been a great read. In "Faith, Hope, and Trick," Faith, the new slayer is introduced and Buffy becomes a little jealous. In "Revelations," Faith gets a new watcher who seems much like a watcher, only to find she has a secret plan of her own. "Bad Girls" is where Faith starts closely moving to the dark side by accidentally mistaking a human for a vampire and killin him, only to have no remorse. "Consequences" is about both Faith and Buffy dealing with the death of the Deputy Mayor...even though they each have a different way of going about it. Overall, it is a great book and a must-have for any Buffy fan.

Summary: Brilliant.
Review: If you are a Faith fan, buy this. It explains how she feels troughout the book, covering her first 4 episodes. The only tiny critisism is that I wished it showed more of Faith's point of view.
In the middle of the book are glossy pictures. A great buy.
