5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Have" for all Buffy fans!, November 22, 2002

By	Kim (Phx, AZ) - See all my reviews

To all the Buffy fans out there, I highly recommend this book!! It is of my opinion that this is the best "Buffy Bible" out there. The cast bios are informative, the photos stunningly gorgeous and the sections regarding the fan base of the series was a delight to read. It is wonderful to see all the charity work this show has generated over the years. Think you know everything about Buffy? Try the Trivia section! But my favorite section of the book is the episode guide. Nikki has captured the essence of each episode, written with wit and intelligence. The addition of the Highlights, Interesting Facts, Nitpicks, Oops, Willow Wicca Watch (tracks Willow's development as a witch) and Restless Moment (referring to the episode, "Restless") portions of the Guide were utterly astounding to me because she saw so much more in each episode that I had missed. Nikki clarified and helped me to understaned things in certain episodes that had me confused . What is absolutely enjoyable to do is read each episode description and then watch the episode itself. It is like seeing the show all over again for the first time! I am extremely glad I got this book and intend on giving copies to friends come Christmas time. Thank You Nikki Stafford!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun with lots of information on Buffy the vampire slayer., July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Bite Me!: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Paperback)

This book is great it has alot on Sarah Michelle Gellar as well as other main charectors such as Nicholas Brendon and Alyson Hanigan. Also I love the fact that this book also has a section on Buffy the vampire slayer. The episode guide to this is very detailed and tells you things that you would not get from elsewhere like the watchers guide (although that too is very good). I love this book and recomend it to all Buffy the vampire slayer fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent- -Outdoing All Others, June 24, 2003

By	"belthazaar" (United States) - See all my reviews

Coming from a reviewer that has purchased and read several "guides" to Buffy, you should believe me when I say that this is the best. Much better than either of the Watchers Guide, this book contains reviews of each episode of Buffy through Season Six, and each episode of Angel through Season Three. Each review includes bloopers from each episode which are fun to look for, as well as the writers personal highlight from each episode.

The book also has in depth biographies of the actors from both shows, as well as a 20 page summary of Buffy The Vampire Slayer's conception to its change in networks. The book also includes top websites devoted to Angel and Buffy, as well as the stars of each show. Lastly, it has a great trivia section, which is the most difficult Buffy trivia one will ever find. Anyone who is looking to learn up on Buffy, or even those who enjoy collecting Buffy paraphenalia will enjoy this book. A defenite must-have.
