Mixed feelings
Ordinarily I enjoy what I read by Craig Shaw Gardner, but I think he just missed the mark with this one. The story idea is good, and the idea of Druids in Sunnydale is very interesting. I think, though, that Gardner is not quite as familiar with the show as he should be to write a novel about it. His vampires consistantly exhibit powers that other vamps in the Buffyverse do not have and there is no explanation for this (or none that satisfies). Characters do not speak or act anything like they do in the show.lt;brgt;One other thing that bugged me was the fact that the red herrings were obvious at several feet and there was virtually no suspense. I was quite aware of what was going on through much of the book and was getting frustrated that the characters were taking so long to figure it out.lt;brgt;Also, my usual complaint. Dont tell me, show me!lt;pgt;Basically, Id love to see more from Mr. Gardner, but Id recommend that he watch the series a bit more carefully first.

 A bit of a dissapointment
Druids in Sunnydale. The idea is not without merit, and definately had possibilities. Unfortunately this author was unable to brings those possibilities into his writing. Familiar characters didnt quite ring true, and new ones were underdeveloped to the point of being almost uninteresting. Eventually the storyline does pick up, but Ill admit I was tempted to just leave the story unfinished.lt;pgt;Possibly worth the read for die hard fans, but this isnt one for your collection, folks. If you absolutely cant live without reading this, use your library card.

 Druids to save Sunnydales not-entirely-dead-yet lifes?
When old Druid George and his three nephews Ian, Tom and Dave are in town, they stir up quite a wave. They aroused suspicions and concerns among the normal gang, as well as some hope for Xander and Oz, one hoping to learn some skills to be useful to Buffy, while the other eager for his other half--the wolf side to be cured. Some romance started brewing between Buffy and Ian, but as usual, evil gets into the way. Unknown to them, their uncle George had other plans for them, which could lead them all into the gateway of Hellmouth.......lt;pgt;This book is worth a read, with Buffy in it and all, and rates high in my Buffy-0-meter.
