Customer Review #1:
 Dont Even Bother With This Volume
This book was terrible!!! I dont just mean terrible compared to any other Buffy books, but terrible compared to literature in general.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;The writing, the style, the flow of this book is extremely bad and the first thing I thought as I read it was "hello fan fiction!" Thats pretty much what this whole book is- someones weird fanfiction that got published in a freak accident. I know that Buffy is supposed to be all edgy and not exactly read like fine American literature, but there is a difference between writing with humor and writing without any professionalism or sense what-so-ever. The most awkward parts are when the author tries to juggle between the dream Buffy is having and real life- its just...awful. The characters arent even themselves- they all make stupid quips that are very OOC or just not worth reading. Was this book even edited?
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Usually when it comes to bad stories, I stick it out through the end just to see the plot resolve itself, but I didnt feel compelled for one second to finish this book, and neither should you. Its an original story, so you wont miss anything should you continue to read the other Buffy books out there or watch the television show.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;If you like below mediocore writing and dialogue, then this book is for you. However, I would recommend getting it at a library or from a friend so you dont waste your precious $4.50 U.S./$5.99 CAN.

Customer Review #2:
 It sounded so good on the back cover...
I first read this book over three years ago and didnt like it. But then, a few weeks ago, I decided to see how much my taste in books had matured and gave it another chance. Big mistake! I hate this book! They took a wonderful concept and blew it to smithereens by ruining Giles and Xander. I would have felt better if theyd somehow discovered that the real Giles and Xander had been locked in a warehouse for the duration of this novel and had been replaced by cyborgs because only that could explain why the heck they were saying such stupid stuff!
lt;br /gt; Not only were they horrible, but the supposed climax of the novel - the zombie diner fight scene - was over waaay too fast and easily. It completely and irreparably damaged my spirit. The books only saving grace was some fun quips from the Buffster and a sweet (albeit, paranormal) kiss between Willow and Xander at the very end. I would recommend Coyote Moon and Halloween Rain in a heartbeat over this book.

Customer Review #3:
 Rather Cliche
The Salem Witch trials for this genre are cliche. While the plot was more complex than the previous 3 books, I think Giles and Xander, especially were written too out of character to maintain my suspension of disbelief. I kept stopping to think to myself: thats not how so and so would act!
