Not a good buy!!!
I bought quite a few books from Amazon.com having lots of books to choose from. This book, being fifteen dollars, is not worth the buy being a KIDS book. Although the picture on the front of the book is great, your wasting your money to get this book. It's a very kiddy book. Hardly any pictures, very few pages, and is a easy reading kids book about buffy. NOT worth it. If you a well worth Buffy book go get the Sunnydale High Yearbook of Sarah Michelle Gellar. Thats a GOOD buy! ... Read more

James Marsters takes Spike to the next level as Season Five ends
Because "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was a mid-season replacement on the WB there were only 12 episodes that first season instead of the full slate of 22.That meant when the show ended its fifth and final season on the WB the last episode would be number 100 for the series and since the fate of the show was uncertain, creator Joss Whedon had to make sure that if "Buffy" did not find a new home that there would be a big finish.That he certainly provided, but as I watched the second half of Season Five (Episodes 12-22) again, what struck me is how many of the best moments have to do with Spike.Specifically I am thinking of when Spike tells the "Buffybot" why he would not betray Buffy and a couple of moments in the final episode: when Willow tells Spike to "go" and he does without a second thought, the look of horror on his face when he realizes he has failed Dawn, and when he is the one who totally breaks down at what happens to Buffy.The show took a character who was basically Billy Idol with fangs, put a chip in his head so that he was effectively neutered when it came to humans like Buffy and the Scoobies, and inspired by what happened in "Something Blue," decided to have William the Bloody fall in love with the Slayer.But it was James Marsters who took that character and made him so memorable that Spike still has a calendar and Angel does not.The big story arc is Glory's relentless search for the Key, but watch these episodes again and notice how often Spike becomes the focus of your attention:

Episode 12, "Checkpoint" (Written by Douglas Petrie & Jane Espenson, First aired January 23, 2001) has Buffy and the gang going up against the Watchers Council.Quentin Travers has information about Glory, but insists the Slayer and her friends undergo a review first, which does not go well (although Willow declaring Tara is her "lesbian-gay-type lover" is awfully cute).At least Buffy finally gets to find out that Glory is not a demon (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 13, "Blood Ties" (Written by Steven S. DeKnight, February 6, 2001), finds Dawn hanging with Spike and reading in a Giles' journal that she is the Key.If that was not bad enough, Ben learns that Dawn is the Key, right before he turns into Glory.This just cannot be good (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 14, "Crush" (Written by David Fury, February 13, 2001), is what Spike has on Buffy and dressing up Harmony as the Slayer is just not cutting it.Then Drusilla shows up in a forgiving vein and when she knocks out Buffy, Spike knocks on Dru so that he can offer to kill her to prove his love for Buffy.Not that Harmony likes any of this (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 15, "I Was Made to Love You" (Written by Espenson, February 20, 2001), has a strange girl name April looking all over town for some guy named Warren.It turns Warren made April, who is a robot, to be the perfect girlfriend.Apparently there is such a thing as too perfect (4 Stakes).

Episode 16, "The Body" (Written & Directed by Joss Whedon, February 27, 2001), Buffy comes home and finds Joyce dead.After Joss received an Emmy nomination for writing "Hush" we figured there would be a second one for this episode.He did not get that, but the bigger insult might be not getting a directing nomination (5 Stakes).

Episode 17, "Forever" (Written & Directed by Marti Noxon, April 17, 2001), is how long Joyce will be dead and a grief stricken Dawn cannot take it.So she does a spell to bring Joyce back from the dead (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 18, "Intervention" (Written by Espenson, April 24, 2001), is what is called for when Xander and Anya see Buffy boinking Spike.The only thing is that Buffy is out communing with the First Slayer (Buffy's gift is death apparently).It seems Spike got Warren to create the Buffybot, which provides Sarah Michelle Gellar's funniest moments in the entire series.But before Buffy can kill Spike it seems Glory will beat the Slayer to it because she thinks Spike knows who is the Key (5 Strakes).

Episode 19, "Tough Love" (Written by Rebecca Rand Kirshner, May 1, 2001), finds Buffy quitting college to look after Dawn.But then Glory drains Tara's brains, turning her insane, and Willow goes off to take revenge against the god.Then things get really bad as Glory finally learns that Dawn is the key (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 20, "Spiral" (Written by DeNight, May 8, 2001), has Buffy getting Dawn and everybody else out of town to try and save the Key from Glory.But then the Knights of Byzantium, sworn to destroy the key, attack the Winnebago carrying everybody, and Buffy and the gang have to hold up in an abandoned gas station.Giles is seriously wounded, so Buffy calls Ben, not knowing that she has invited Glory's host past Willow's mystic defenses (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 21, "The Weight of the World" (Written by Petrie, May 15, 2001), finds Buffy has gone off the deep end and is in a catatonic state.Willow takes charge and gets everybody back to Sunnydale, where she enters Buffy's mind to make sense of the circular dream images that Buffy shows her.Meanwhile, Glory plans to use Dawn's blood to open up the doors between the hell dimensions (4.5 Stakes).

Episode 22, "The Gift" (Written & Directed by Whedon, May 22, 2001), begins with a reaffirmative that Buffy is not "just a girl."If Dawn's blood is spilled, Hell will be unleashed on Earth and the only way to stop it is to kill Dawn.But Buffy did that with Angel and she refuses to do it with her sister.Glory is going to enact the ritual atop a giant scaffolding constructed by her minions, and Buffy leads an all-out attack on Glory.Although they defeat glory, it is too late, and the demons are coming to make Earth their home (5 Stakes). ...

Entertaining at times, annoying at others.......
I got this book as a present and was immediately excited. I am a HUGE buffy fan and relish any chance to delve deeper into my obsession. While I enjoyed most of the book including the bios, mini analyses of the episodes, I was bored by the fan and party coverage (who cares? it was like 2 years ago!), and a little offended by the author's off-putting feelings towards some of the characters (give Riley and Joyce half a chance). The most annoying part however was the obvious mistakes this so-called "fan" Nikki Stafford made in relating her "nitpicks" of each episode. She points out each "oops" the show made as far as bloopers but I guess she failed to pass this on to an editor because there were a lot of mistakes made concerning her knowledge of the buffyverse. When she couldn't find something substantial to write she floundered, the most obvious point being in the "Buffy vs. Dracula" nitpick section. Ms. Stafford complains that even though Dracula breaks most of the vampire rules, he would still need an invite to enter Buffy's room and you can feel her arrogance when she points out that somehow the writers messed up this technicality. However, later in the episode it is revealed that Joyce had invited him in for coffee and then there is a whole 5 minute scene between Joyce/Willow/Tara discussing her inviting a man into the house. Then, in the next episode it is mentioned again that Joyce mistakenly invited Dracula in. I really wouldn't care about Ms. Stafford's rants if this weren't a "guide to Buffy" written by someone who does take the show seriously and is a little too arrogant when every now and then there is an inconsistency in the show.
Bottom line: I enjoyed reading it, but I enjoyed correcting it even more.

Even being the best....
This book may be the best guide about Buffy around, but this not means that it's a stisfactory product. Because it's not.

The enormous volume of pages dealing about parties, whatever, are useless. And, most importanyl, it lacks an index to the world of Buffy, something that would run something like this:

"Willow" - Buffy's best friend. Went from a very shy girl to one one of the most powerful witches in the world, blá,bla;

"Ethan" - Gile's old friend from England, when both them, along with some friends, dealed with the black arts. Appeared for the last time in the episodebla, bla, bla..."

It would have been a huge task, but that was what I was looking for when I bought this book, and was dissapointed when I did not find it.

The part of Angel I don't care, bcause I still did not watch this show (I intend to start buying the DVD sets).

The Best Buffy Companion Out There
This is the absolute best Buffy guide out there. The book includes DETAILED episode synopsises through the sixth seaons of Buffy and the third season of Angel. Unlike the Watcher's Guide's, these synopsis's are very thorough, as are each actors profile. The book also chronicles the show from its movie beginnings, through each season, to the show's move to UPN. Each episode guide includes the writer's personal favorite moment of the episode, interesting facts, Did you notice moments, Nitpicks, and bloopers from each episode that are fun to scope out.

The book also has an incredibly challenging trivia section, which prompts one to go back and watch the episodes over and over again. Also included are each actors personal websites, as well as good fansites, are included. Having bought many companion guides to this show, I personally say this is the best, for any looking to wise up on Buffy, or maybe simply to extend their Buffy collection.

Best Buffy guide out there
Yes, I admit it, I've become a Buffy addict - not normally a TV watcher, I became sucked in by its blend of great writing, humor, drama, and honest portrayal of emotions. In addition to all the seasons on DVD, I've picked up quite a bit of the buffy literature - guides, essays, etc. - and this is the one I keep coming back to. I much prefer it to the more often-cited Watcher's Guides. What some reviewers criticize - the emphasis on Stafford's reviews and opinions - are what i consider the book's strength. None of the other guides offer such a personal take on the series or episodes - and it's a series people relate to in a highly personal way. I don't always agree with the author, and even disagree that a few of the "nitpicks" she found were actual errors, but her opionated views make for much more interesting reading. In a few cases, her opinions made me more clearly define my own, or see an episode in a new light.
I love the information on music at the end of each episode, and the other chapters - on the actors' biographies, the posting-board parties, the internet following for buffy - are all pretty comprehensive. This is a fan's take on a show she loves, in addition to being a guide - which, in my opinion, makes it more interesting for another fan to read. So what if she's unduly harsh on Joyce and Dawn? She backs up her opinions with valid reasons, which others are free to disagree with. I disliked some eps ("Gingerbread," "Beauty and the beast," "As You were") that she liked, liked others better than her, and agreed with her on many more. But I always enjoy her take.
I do wish the section on angel was more thorough - she acknowledges it's pretty cursory compared to Buffy, and my hope is that a future book will flesh it out. But if you want a good buffy episode guide, skip the watchers guides and just get this one. My copy is worn i've gone back to it so often.

My Buffy Bible
I absolutly love this book. It is entirely complete (well, up to season six anyway... I'm really hoping they do another revision with season seven added... I'd buy the whole damn book again if they did it) and full of information. This one book gets in all the good stuff that the watcher's guides do in two. When I bought this book I had only seen up to season three, and I was beginning to watch seasons 4-6 in reruns, and I read this book right along with watching the episodes.

Some people have a problem with the opinionated way the author writes the book, but to me it enhances the feel of it being a fan's book.

In short, I love this book, and you should too! ^.^ ... Read more

A clip job, all filler.
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.

This book is an okay book,but i've seen more imformation.
This book is ok, and i would reccomend this book if u wanted some information about sarah when she was younger. It also has the shows from the first and second season.

this book was alright
This wasn't the best buffy book, but it did have some picturesi've never seen before and it had an okay biography on Sarah.thebaack of the book is all about ohter vampire and sci-fi books and shows though, i didnt even read that whole part, it sucked.but the rest of the book was pretty cool, since it was about the hottest woman on Earth of course.

A great book for all Buffy fans
This book does, in a great way sum up all episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer from "Welcome to the Hellmouth" too "Becoming, part II". Also, it contains a thorough biography of mrs. Gellar's actingcareer from her first appearance on "Invasion of Privacy" totodays Buffy, I Know What You did Last Summer and "Scream 2". Indoing so it gives all Sarah Michelle Gellar fans all the knowledge theyneed aout their Idol.

Buffy Xposed a real good fireside book
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 sitesand entertaining looks at the influence of "Dark Shadows" on theshow and also a history of vampires on television and movies. A must read!!Black and white pictures add to its gothic, unauthorized feel. I reallyliked it ... Read more
