Just like on the TV show Xander delivers scarcasm and humor that only he can do. He tells 3 tales of his strange supernatural romance (Teachers Pet, Inca Mummy Girl, and Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered)and proves that Buffy isn't the only one with a twisted life. I liked reading about Xander becasue he's pretty much the typical male, except a whole lot wittier, and the occasional vampire slaying. I reccomend this to any Buffy the Vampire Slayer and/or Xander fan!

Only recently have I become a buffy fan (but boy, when I fall I fall hard) This was the first buffy book I read, but it was definately worth it! Especially the last story Bewitched Bothered and Bewildered made me laugh so much I have the stiches to prove it. This book made me stop thinking Xander was boring. Definately a must to read for any buffy fan!

If you haven't seen the series, then this will make no sense to you. But if you have, then it is a great book. Since you are in Xander's mind, you get to see HIS point of view, so it goes into more depth than the show. Extremly well written, this one ain't for kiddies. And best of all, it has some smooching going on in it! Not always with the best people, though..... I'll let you decide for yourself. Happy Reading!

In order to understand the entire buffy novels,one needs to understand Xander.This book details probably the most intimate things anyone will be able to get with the character.From his feelings for his best friend Willow to chrush unfulfilled Buffy,dating and romance in Sunnydale is truly humerous.....for Xander it's the most harzardous thing to do. Full of laughs and deep thought,to understand buffy,you need to understand why she does'nt just crumple from the pressure of slaying. Because Xander will always be there...laughing at the world.

All 3 stories are interesting,and Inca Mummy Girl at its best.The author describes the story well,especially what Xander was feeling which is hard to get in TV.This book may get you ...well... to pay more attention to Xander.You can't help it but think he's charming after reading this book.

This book is a novelization of three episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The first Teacher's Pet is a homage to the big bug movies of the late fifties. Inca Mummy Girl revives the curse of the mummy and Bewitched, Bothered & Bewildered explores the magic of love. In each story Xander falls in love with dire consequences. His heart is pure and his intentions good but the results are both frightening and humorous. I recommend this to all Xander fans. It could be a dating manual for the new century.

The book is AWESOME.It's a must have 4 all BtVS fans.It is from Xander's point of view and has his thoughts and feelings about what's going on. It's divided into chapters/sections-here is how it goes starting after the Acknowledgments: Tonight,Part1;Teacher's Pet(6 chapters); Tonight,Part2;Inca Mummy Girl(7 chapters); Tonight,Part3;Bewitched,Bothered,And Bewildered (7 chapters);Tonight,Part4.There are also great pictures in the center of the book.I hope I haved helped you out!

A highly enjoyable novel. Unlike the Angel Chronicles, whilst being good weren't entirely seen through the eyes of Angel, the Xander Years Vol. 1 is brilliant and gives the reader a broad knowledge of the life of Alexander (Xander) LaVelle Harris! With Teachers Pet, Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered & Inca Mummy Girl as the three stories- all based on episodes, we're treated to 288 pages of Xander wit.. We even find out the names of some of the minor characters (i.e. - the Cordettes!) Highly Recommended!

A very good book. Showcased Xander very well and drew all the episodes together, especially for someone who hasn't seen them yet!

This book is the greatest. Three stories in one book is great. I really like "Inca Mummy Girl" and "Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered".
