Amazon.co.uk Review
This novel is based on three Xander-centred episodes of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer": "The Pack" from season 1, "Go Fish" from season 2, and "The Zeppo" from season 3. It's illustrated with eight pages of colour photos. Xander, Buffy's not very popular and academically challenged classmate, has never had much luck in life, and this is emphasised in the choice of stories here. He spends the first one possessed by the spirit of a hyena, and the second trying to avoid becoming a fish-monster, while in the third he goes in search of "cool", and runs into a gang of zombies on the way. Jeff Mariotte has included interludes between each story, briefly outlining the important events for anyone who has missed seeing key episodes--so watch out for plot spoilers. The format of these novelisations never leaves much room for originality, being simply the episodes transferred to the page, but Mariotte makes the most of the material; his prose is fresh and strikes just the right jokey tone. The descriptions are vivid, clearly recalling the scenes for those who have seen the shows, and bringing them to life for those who haven't. So if you want something light to read on the beach, this is good entertainment. Elizabeth Sourbut
Product Description
""But I mean, what is it? How do you get it? Who doesn't have it? And who decides who doesn't have it? What is the essence of 'cool'?"" Most teens have trouble finding themselves now and then, but when you're living on a hellmouth, "trouble" is an understatement -- "especially" if you're Xander Harris. He has never been very popular, and has never had much luck with women, but he "is" uniquely Xander. After a Sunnydale High field trip to the zoo, Xander becomes obnoxious and aggressive. Giles thinks it's typical adolescent male behavior, but Buffy knows better. And when he "finally" scores "cool" points by making the Sunnydale High swim team, he's thrown into the middle of something, well...fishy. Still, once Xander is excluded from the Slayer's most recent anti-apocalyptic campaign, he finds himself battling his own private evil -- and saving Sunnydale High from a fate it never imagined.
