5.0 out of 5 stars Great story!, Jan 24 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Child of the Hunt (Mass Market Paperback)

I was skeptical about reading any book based on a TV show, but this one was very well-thought out. The characters stayed true to their television depictions in a whole new and very interesting story. I recommend this for any Buffy fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Buffy Book Ever!, Nov 23 2003

By A Customer

This was my first Buffy the Vampire Slayer Book. I read it before I even watched the show, the plot just seemed good to me so I bought it, and little did I know I was about to become a Buffy Fanatic. It starts off with Buffy and this hunt that goes through the town and they take people capture. All the rest I can say is "WOW" I'd give this book 10 stars if I could. Even if you are not a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer Book you should pick this one up.

P.S. Christopher Golden and Nancy Holder are the best Buffy writers in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Show me, don't tell me, Jul 7 2003

By	Marcus Bailey "Marc 'grailwolf' Bailey" (Darnestown, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Child of the Hunt (Mass Market Paperback)

Not a bad novel, but far from being a great one. Mr Golden and Ms. Holder have a decent grasp on the Buffyverse (though, given their expertise, far too many errors still creep in). My biggest gripe here is with the writing style. Many things in the book are simply described. We are told about what happened rather than seeing them played out in a scene. This should virtually never happen in any novel.

Perhaps I have standards that are set too high, but I never see the fact that a novel is a media tie-in as an excuse for lazy writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Buffy books writen
Nancy Holden and Christopher Golden would have to be some of the most creative writers. They thought up wonderful plot twists, and kept me on the edge of my seat. Read more

I'm obviously in the minority on this particular Buffy entry. This was the first "adult line" Buffy offering, though it might be noticed that it's now packaged in the "juvenile... Read more
