Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Gender politics is the central focus of this novel. The new library supervisor, Mo Moon, and her two attractive daughters, Calli and Polly, appear to be the answer to Greek student Allison Gianakous's prayers. She feels oppressed by her strict father and the Moons are female supremacists who wield an apparently hypnotic power over people of both sexes.

To Cordelia's dismay, the new girls become the centre of attention at Sunnydale High and surround themselves with a growing clique of aggressive girls and passive boys. Buffy becomes really worried when the reclusive Willow joins the clique and begins to wear their "Womyn Power" T-shirts. Giles is also behaving strangely and when Xander falls under the Moons' influence as well, it's up to Cordelia and Oz to help Buffy figure out who the Moons are and how to defeat them.

The all-out sex war that follows is deliberately contrasted against the series' usually sophisticated take on cross-gender relationships. The Moons are campaigning to enslave males and this simplification of the world into warring females and males is clearly to be resisted. Victory against the Moons is victory for everyone, in the words of Oz: to "be whatever the best in us wants of us." --Elizabeth Sourbut

Product Description
When the female population begins to strut its Girl Power, it seems like a normal expression of feminism. After all, in spite of what a few males think, girls trying out for football doesn't signify life-threatening danger. Until the guys start acting like powerless pawns, and a few turn up dead.

5.0 out of 5 stars loved it, 24 Dec 2001
This was the first Buffy book i read and it is still one of my favourites.I must have have read over ten more by now!
I thought the bits with Xander under Calli and Pollys spell were sweet and funny.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor addition to the Buffy books, 1 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This book is not a good addition to the Buffy books. While it's very easy to read, the characters are poorly drawn and are not reacting as we would expect them to. The plot is thin and rather uninteresting and the parallels between the supernatural activity and the role of women in society is poorly done. Worst is the authors inability to fix this book in the Buffy continuity. For instance, in a book which is advocating strong women and which ostensibly takes place in the 3rd Season, why doesn't Faith appear? Including her in the book would have given this a depth it otherwise lacks - and desperately needs!
