 Angel novels are as good as the tv episodes-honest! June 24, 1999

When I first bought this book, I was bummed because I didn't realize that it was a novelization of Buffy episodes rather than an original novel. However, I soon realized it was fun to read about the shows I had seen because the dialogue still rang true in black and white and some lines I might have forgotten, I could look up. The best part is the author chose some of the best Buffy episodes from the second season of the show including one of my favorite episodes to date: "Halloween." Since the three episodes chosen follow each other almost choronologically in the sequence of the Buffy show, (The others are "What's my line part 1" and "What's my line part 2") you can read this book from cover to cover and derive much enjoyment. Another bonus is that these episodes include two of Buffy's most engaging baddies: Of course I am referring to Spike and Drusilla. "Halloween" is the best of the lot. If you never saw this classic episode, here's a synopsis: It's Halloween at the Hellmouth-this is a traditionally slow time for vamps. Principal Snyder ropes the students including Buffy and her friends into chaparoning kids while they trick or treat. This episode also marks the debut of Ethan Rayne, an old adversary of Giles. He owns a mystical costume shop and he sells many people in town their halloween garb including Buffy and friends. Buffy dresses up like a noble woman to impress Angel. Rayne invokes the Roman god Janus and casts a spell which transforms everyone wearing one of his costumes into whatever they are dressed as. Good for Xander who becomes an soldier, but bad for Buffy who is turned into a meek and powerless maiden, prompting Willow to lament, "She couldn't have dressed up like Xena?" Spike discovers Buffy's predicament and relishes in the bedlam. Giles confrontation with the mysterious Ethan Rayne is one of the highlights of this spectacular show and book. The "Angel Chronicles Vol.2" doesn't disappoint. Buy it!
the best one ever to date February 22, 2000

Excellent, absolutely brilliant. I'm a big Buffy fan and I've read most of Buffy books and this one is my favorite one ever. It features 3 of the most classical Buffy episodes. They couldn't have picked any episode better than these 3. They are funny and well-depicted. The thoughts of the characters are funny, awkward and adorable at the same time. This one is even better than the Angel Chronicles Vol. 1 coz Buffy and Angel's relationship has grown stronger and their love for each other is irresistable. You have to read it to love it. If you're a buffy fan, this one is a must, if you're not, get it anyway, you'll love it.
Perfect for all Buffy the vampire slayer fans August 1, 1999

This book has three of the best Buffy episodes in it. I dont think that it could have picked better ones,the only way that this book could have been better is if they added on another section and put 'Becoming' parts one and two in. The episodes also show some of the charectors in a different light,like in 'halowen'Willow is the responsible one, and you also see the forcefull side of Giles. This book is very well writen and I advise anyone to buy it.
I just couldn't put this book down! September 22, 1999

Even though I'd seen all the episodes this book is based on, I just couldn't put it down!! I think it's a great idea to put the best series on TV into book form. I can't wait for the rest of the books to come out in England!
Second Season Eps make a great book ... November 27, 2000

Whether or not you have seen the episodes "Halloween," and "What's My Line" parts 1 and 2, this book is a must have for all Buffy and Angel fans. Tankersley takes you into the minds of the characters, and gives you a glimpse of the motives for the action we see on television."Halloween" is one of the funiest episodes in the BTVS series. All hell breakes loose when the population of Sunnydale is transformed into their halloween costumes. And who is there to fight the children turned demons? Not the slayer, who unfortunately believes herself to be a noblewoman from the 18th century! There is a serious side to the episode, however. The appearance of an old friend reveals secrets Giles would rather have remain hidden. "What's my Line" is an emportant episode in the Buffy mythology. Besides bringing up the possibility of there being two slayers in one time, we also see the beginings of a beautiful relationship between Willow and Oz! A good read, and definately worth the buy!
