This book should come with a money back guarantee. Since I have been watching the show from day one (and it happens to be my all-time favorite show), I have been reading every publication that comes out about the show. "Buffy X-Posed" is the worst one I have read so far. If it was the only Buffy book available, then it would be sufficient. However, that is not the case. The information in the book is nothing that I did not know already from other sources. The author's opinions on the show seem way off-base in some areas. He seems to only be a casual fan of the show. I can see where an unbiased opinion can be good, but I wanted to read the opinions of another person who loves the show like I do. Also, devoting a quarter of the book to appendixes on Vampire related shows and movies seemed a bit much. These shows had no connection to "Buffy" (other than they are about vampires). I can understand a paragraph or two about these shows and movies, but not a quarter of the book. All in all, this book was a major waste of my time. If you are thinking of buying this book, you might want to check out "The Watcher's Guide" instead.

This book is good. It is an unofficial guide to the world of Buffy but it has some really cool stuff like extensive reviews of the first two seasons' episodes, a by no means extensive internet guide to must see Buffy sites and entertaining looks at the influence of "Dark Shadows" on the show and also a history of vampires on television and movies. A must read!! Black and white pictures add to its gothic, unauthorized feel. I really liked it

There are not that many pictures and it doesnt really tell me anything I couldn't have found out on the internet. It is 256 pages, but it's BIG print and a lot of it is Episode guide stuff. I was unhappy with it.

Buffy: X-posed is the best book out there on Buffy, the Vampire Slayer and Sarah Michelle Gellar. I difinitely recommend this book to any Buffy fan! I am one myself. A big one. I believe this book will rank high among its competition.

This book is ok, and i would reccomend this book if u wanted some information about sarah when she was younger. It also has the shows from the first and second season.

This book is semi informative. You could easily find any of the information given on my own Buffy website. Incidently, Chapter 5, Slayer Resources, has my site listed along with 23 other great sites. Which is why I had to give it 5 stars :) Overall, not worth the $13.

This has been on my shelf for a long time - probably bought it when new (or near-new, it has a remainder mark), finally got around to reading it. Half-decent profile of Gellar & Whedon, poor profiles of the rest of the cast, middling episode guide. The author gets annoyed whenever an episode resembles the X-Files (these are usually due to foreshadowing for season 3's big bad, The Mayor, which hadn't aired at the time). As noted in other revies, back third is mostly profiles of other shows and movies that starred vampires, which is of only minor interest. Cash-in book; hope someone made a bunch of money to justify its existence.

Everything you want to know

Buffy or sarah michelle gellar is not only sexy but smart full of personality and da bomb
