Editorial Reviews

Review
"'Topping's terrific tome adopts the perfect attitude to this fizzing phenomenon... He rattles through each episode with focus on teen-angst metaphors, the brilliant feminist subtexts, and the dazzling use of "valley speak"... Colour me stunned' Uncut; 'An aide-memoire, a squire to the Buffyverse and an exciting resource of bitchy lines rolled into one. Fans will adore it' TV Zone" --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
This complete guide to the first three seasons of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" humorously, but analytically, studies each episode in categories, drawing attention to details which may otherwise be missed by viewers. An accessible introduction suitable for newcomers and seasoned "Slayerettes".

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is A Great Guide To Buffy, March 26, 2000
I have been a fan of Buffy for a long time and I know a good Buffy book when I see one, and this is a great Buffy book. It has information on Xander, Willow, Giles, Cordy, Angel, Faith and close to everyone on the show. The book also has a list of bloopers, info on the cast, episode information, and much much more. Buy this book, you'll be glad you did!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, July 13, 2004
By Kelly Martin "Kelly" (Omaha, Nebraska) - See all my reviews
Keith Topping does an excellent job of reviewing Season 7 of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I thoroughly enjoyed reading this guide to the final season of this series.

He has researched the subject very thoroughly and included many quotes from writers and actors. This guide is unbiased and is very consistent with the views that Joss Whedon has expressed in his interviews.

I highly recommend that you buy "Slayer: The Last Days of Sunnydale" instead of the Watcher's Guide. The research is much more thorough and Keith Topping's interpretation of the show is much less biased.

5.0 out of 5 stars It slays me (Corny, I know....), April 20, 2000
This is a really good guide to Buffy. I just started watching the show at the end of last season and this book helped me catch up with the seasons I missed plus explained the episodes I saw. It also gives descriptions of the novels, the movie, and the unaired pilot episode that was used to bring advertisers to the show. I highly recommend this book to any and all Buffy fans.
