1.0 out of 5 stars A clip job, all filler., September 8, 2005

By	myeck (New Jersey, USA) - See all my reviews

It's a good thing this book is out of print. It's pretty bad - full of innaccuracies and it reads like the author assembled a lot of the information from bits and pieces of magazine articles. Also, fully a quarter of it has nothing to do with Buffy at all. It feels like the author ran out of relevant material and just added in a bunch of junk to fill it out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buffy Xposed a real good fireside book, February 15, 1999

By A Customer

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

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this book when there are other Buffy books, November 28, 1998

By	TheHappyHermit (Medina, NY, USA) - See all my reviews

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.
