Summary: A clone to tv dialougue
Review: This is actually a almost complete summary of season 7 episodes. Most dialougues are exactly the same from the tv except that there are some missing or slightly different speech from the original scenes from the tv as the tv scenes are being revised. One thing I do not like is the monologue or the point of view of each character that is written to fit into the author imagination. The worst part of all is the Angel and Buffy kissage. I understand that it is a hello but the author turned it into a super romance scene between the two characters that are almost extinct now because of Buffy feeling for Spike and the history that Buffy spending with Spike is longer.

Summary: Back in Classic Style
Review: This is the end all of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in more ways that one, it's off handed humour, quick quips and and the emersion of real poeple in to hard and scary situations.
With the fantastic style we have come to expect from Josc and the rest of the cast and crew, Buffy and her gang of scoobies end their television (And texed) adventures with a return to their roots, Literally. The show began and ended with the slayer, her watcher, her friends, and one wierd town!

Summary: Needs an Editor, but Great Story!!
Review: This story is really captivating and it keeps you're attention for about all 600 or so pages. It goes episode by episode from the 7th season. They changed a few things and added more details to certain questions you didn't get answered from the episodes. So all in all, I hope you get this book if you are or aren't a fan of buffy the vampire slayer. Other buffy books I'd recommend include: Child of the hunt, Immortal, Halloween Rain, and Coyote Moon.

Summary: I agree, good writing, dissapointing ending.
Review: Well the 7th season of buffy was very important for obvious reasons, and I felt that for the majority of the book, Nancy Holder did a very good job at summarizing the seasons episodes,and explaining the fight sceans (which are always difficult), but the last Episode "Chosen" was weak. not as well writen, and now that someone else mentioned it the editing was poor too. Reading it did not give me any sence of closer like watching it did.
But all in all it was definatly a worth while book, it helps put some of the longer, more complicated season arcs into a nutshell. I would recommend this book for hard core buffy fans, or just people interested in the final chapter in the fascinating buffy phenomenon.

Summary: Good Grief!
Review: Well, no...no grief actually. Two characters die and the rest of them can hardly be bothered to notice. The infinitely self absorbed survivors want to head to the mall for shoes and Starbucks.Then there's laughably bad prose: "In the Eqyptian tomb, more with the kissage as Angel and Buffy held each other; champions share passions others can only dream of, and their kiss could easily have moved a mountain...or sent a world straight to hell." A lifetime of reading romance novels didn't prepare me for cheese like that. Oh, and who can overlook... Spike dies to save the world and Buffy thinks, "Cookie Dough!" If it weren't so sad, I'd be on the floor rolling with laughter. Is this a spoof? Could the heroine *really* look at destruction and dead allies and think "Cookie dough?!" I would say this was not quite ready for print. What was the editor thinking? What was the publisher thinking? Cookie dough. She's a half baked cookie. And Spike saves the world for cookies and mocha lattes. This is ridiculous and the prose is...well...I think the "kiss that could move mountains" speaks for itself. It's purple alright. I just can't decide whether it's eggplant or aubergine. I can't think of a category romance that has the nerve to have descriptions this cliched.

Summary: "I Have the Power! Uh, Sort Of..."
Review: What you'll think of this book depends entirely on what you thought of Season 7, because that's all Chosen is. Curiously, it does read better than it performed - though, as with Holder's Book of Fours, it has numerous typos throughout. (For the curious, that happens because the publisher knows full well the book is going to sell - no matter whether it's any good or not - before it even hits the stands, and so saves the cost of an editor by simply telling the author to give it a quick once-over before it hits the presses.) Given that Season 7 was just a little better than mediocre, I bought this one solely to see if it would answer any of the niggling expositional or continuity questions I thought I must have missed while watching the show. It didn't. What you saw on T.V. is what you get here, and that's pretty much it. Still, like I said, Chosen actually does read pretty well. And Buffy's definitely been worse - of course, that also means Buffy's definitely been better. Like the even lesser quality Season 6, it's a little disappointing to see such a great heroine become...well, average, at best.

Summary: A Season With Thought
Review: When WB and UPN switched I was distraught, because I would not be able to watch Buffy. (luckily Wb has Angel) I found this book at Borders and bein' a fan of buff, I bought it. It tells you the whole 7th season, but ads a bit of spice, because you get to hear everything that everyone was thinking. The second best thing to the actual show. Nancy Holder is a great writer and you really get everything when you read her stories. Though it is not an origanal, this book can tell you everything you want to now about the 7th season.
