5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best books EVER!, Aug 14 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer : The Watcher's Guide (Paperback)

When I recieved this book for Christmas, I was a bit skeptical about the contents inside. After taking a long time flipping through the pages, I was both intrigued and impressed by the work the others had done on the show. Every time I pick up this book I learn something new about the episodes. Characters with small parts had interviews, and the color photos on the pages are glossy and nice. Pick up this book if you haven't. I know I'll be picking up "The Watcher's Guide : Volume 2" very shortly. Buy it,you won't be disappointed!

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer : The Watcher's Guide (Paperback)

This isnt the best book if you're looking for a behind the scenes one. But it is great when it comes to quotes. Behind the Scenes is more in the 2nd volume.

This has an excellent array of quotes from seasons 1 and 2(which is what this book covers). It also has pretty good episode reviews, with some deleted scenes usually showing up along with some unknown facts.

But it also has some information that I found boring, which included a tour of Sunnydale.

But on the whole, not to bad of a book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty interesting though a bit lightweight, Dec 6 2003

This review is from: Buffy the Vampire Slayer : The Watcher's Guide (Paperback)

I like the books by Kenneth Topping a lot more than the official guides. They are more fun, more informative, and because they aren't "official" can be fans more than authors maintaining an official relationship with the show. But having said that, this and its companion volume are both really informative. And although I knew all the quotes anyway, it was a lot of fun reading them all. The best part of the book is the interviews with people you normally don't hear as much about, like set designers and associate producers and such.

5.0 out of 5 stars "She Is The Chosen One...."
Who would of thought that a mediocre box office flop starring Kristy Swanson from 1992 would turn into such a brilliant, groundbreaking television show?. My guess is no one. Read more
