Review: REALLY good. The whole basis for this novel
was superb. It draws you in immediately with the scene between Buffy
at the drug store and Arianna that becomes an immediate mystery. It
was an excellent opener and I love when stuff is done like that. There
were numerous reference to the off screen life of the actors, ie:
the mention about some hot guy in the movie Psycho Beach Party.
Best line in the WHOLE book was:
Dawn: Come on, we're huntin' wabbits.
Anya: Oh no! They're finally attacking, aren't they?
hehe, I laughed so hard at that.
Anyway, the basis of the book was well thought out and written along
with a very powerful ending. I missed they'd explained a little more
about the Reaver. They touched on the outer dimensional stuff but
never really went into it, and somehow that makes me feel like part
of the story is missing. Anyway, it was a good read and I'd recommend
it to the fans out there.
