This book was the first book on the market about the show "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". At the time it greatly fed my hunger for information on what has become my all-time favorite show. Since then, "The Watcher's Guide" has become tops on my list for Buffy books. The author of this book basically pieced together interviews from various sources for the actor biographies. Also, the episode guide turned out to be more interesting than I had expected seeing that the author did not have access to as much inside information as the authors of the official guide did ("The Watcher's Guide"). The one thing that sets this book apart from the other Buffy books is its coverage on the Buffy movie from 1992. That movie was not very good, and it does not come close to being what the TV show is. However, I did enjoy reading about the beginning of the whole Buffy phenomena. I am just glad that the author did not devote more time and pages to the subject. All in all, it is a very good book about "Buffy", but it is not the best one available.

It's a really good book!! I was surprised to find some great info on the cast and show, and I loved the section on bloopers! This book definately deserves 4 stars, if not 5!

This book is an awesome Buffy Bio! Kathleen Tracy is an awesome writer and nailed, or should I say staked, every point (no pun intended) perfectly. I loved he book and have read thought it a number of times. As a HUGE Buffy fan, I must say that it is one of the best!!

The Book was Very informative. I found out things that I didn't know and I found that hard to believe because I have read every book, seen every show, and seen all her movies. (Including her part as Kendall opposite Susan Lucci in a daytime soap opera. I recomend this book to anone from die-hard fan to beginning watcher. Go buy the book and see for yourself!

I think this book is really great because it has information on, vampires in general, the cast members, the charachters on the show, and a very detailed episode guide with lots of inside information the show. I recomend it to any BTVS Fan!!!

I purchased this book thinking that it was going to be very good. I was suprised to find out that it was NOT! There are some good pictures and a fairly lengthy bio on every actor (the longest is SMG) but alot of facts in the book are wrong. I guess you have to be a die-hard fan to notice them but I was dissapointed. There were errors that shouldn't have been such as the name of SMG's character in I Know What You Did Last Summer. I found the summarys of the episodes to be very wordy and there were to many author feelings added to them. All in all I didn't find it very good.

I really like this book, even though it is unauthrized, it is still really great. There are really cool pics inside (black and white though). I recommend this to ANY Buffy fan.

I looked at it in a library and you had to peel me away, I'm just so glad I'll be able to buy it now!
