Customer Review #1:
 Poor, even for a book of its genre
One could find far better books in this genre to recommend. Has all of Holders weaknesses in spades: poor characterization, sloppy plot, and no sense of the show universe she attempts to write in.

Customer Review #2:
 Childish
This book and all the "Stake Your Destiny" series are good reads if you are under 14 years old. Most Buffy fans are older than 14. For older readers it is a let down. I am a huge Buffy and Angel fan, and most of the books have been great, (I own all the novels that are available) but I was disappointed in this book.

Customer Review #3:
Please, skip this one.
I love Buffy books. I have read and currently own way more than any adult should have. And I usually love Nancy Holders books. Im not as interested in the Choose Your Own Adventure formula, but Im not opposed to it. Loved it as a kid. The Suicide King (another Buffy Choose Your Own) was reasonable.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;However, Im sad to say this book is really awful. The individual pages of writing are good, as is usual for the author. Shes good with the characterizations and dialogue. But as one of the other reviewers said, its a mess. The book tries to cover too much territory with recycled pages of action, and the continuity is completely lacking. You see Cordelia being abducted and follow trying to save her, make a few Choices, and in a few pages...its like youve forgotten she was abducted as she saunters in with Xander. Youre fighting an old foe and dust him...and then in a few Choices, youre worried if that foe is waiting for you. Youre wandering in a tunnel and have to choose left/right...only when you go back out, you have to go the wrong way because there is no correct choice (did the tunnel disappear?)
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Really, really not worth reading if youre actually going to pay attention to plot threads and continuity.
