5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read for Buffy Fans, January 14, 2008

This review is from: One Thing or Your Mother (Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Simon Spotlight)) (Mass Market Paperback)

Reading BTVS One Thing or Your Mother is like watching an episode of what I consider "Classic Buffy". The story takes place during the second season of Buffy, after Episode 19 ("I Only Have Eyes for You") and before the season finale (Episode 21 & 22 "Becoming"). Angel has lost his soul, murdered Jenny Calendar, and begun to wage his emotional war against Buffy.

Like a TV episode, there is a main plot (why is everyone in Sunnydale continually falling asleep, how is Principal Snyder connected, and how can Buffy put a stop to it before everyone falls into permanent slumber?), and a small subplot with Angelus, Drusilla & Spike (still in the wheelchair). The theme of the sub-plot also ties in with main plot's theme. There are a few surprises, and there is some foreshadowing of both events in "Becoming" and the Third Season of Buffy.

I really enjoyed the story and recommend it to any Buffy fan looking for a good new story to excite their imagination. Kirsten Beyer has a great feel for both the characters and the story flow, and it's a shame that this is probably the only BTVS story we'll be able to read of hers.

I liked this book. And it is supposedly the last one to be published. It has several twists and turns to it, and sheds light on several of the characters. It really shows that Spike has a heart and yearns for love this early in the series. It sets up several coming events. Cute title, too.

This review is from: One Thing or Your Mother (Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Simon Spotlight)) (Mass Market Paperback)

I loved this book. It takes place during the season 2 time period. Angelus is stalking Buffy and Spike is well......Spike (got to love him). Great story....takes me back to Buffy at her best. If you are a fan......any book about Buffy is rated an A+++++++++!!!!!!
