Customer Review #1:
 Youll need a seatbelt, this is one bumpy ride!
WOW! That was a whirlwind of chaos and loose ends never tied up.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;I loved the first two books in this trilogy and couldnt wait to get my hands on the last book, the conclusion of what, until now, had been a great story.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Things kinda fell apart in this book. Okay ... not kinda. They totally fell apart.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;The authors tried to pack so much into this one novel that its almost impossible to keep up with without a map! It was rushed, and as a reader I felt it. It left me feeling winded and exhausted.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;As others have mentioned, the continuity in this novel leaves much to be desired. There were storylines left unfinished, big ones.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Willow stops breathing and dies in one chapter, steps out of the room looking pale and ill and says to Cordy, "I feel dead," in another chapter, and then is her usual self in the rest of the book. It ends with no conclusion or even acknowledgment that it even occured at all. I kept waiting for Willow to go evil and betray them, or take some kind of unexpected action as a result of apparently dying, but nada.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Faith is thrown in the mix in a slick, almost after-thought manner that doesnt do her character justice. (And that says a LOT coming from me, because Im not a Faith or Eliza fan.) She comes in and saves everyone, despite their obvious distrust, and then hugs Buffy and Angel before willingly going back to jail. She didnt even get a Thank You. It just didnt fly, it was never rang true or came to life for me.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;And then theres Spike. I love this guy. Love the wit, the naughty undertone to his character and the huge heart he tries to hide. (Figuratively speaking, of course.) Hes a great character, and provides great comic relief. But what in the world happened to him? What was the ending supposed to mean? The story ended with him, in his pre-vamp body, running like a coward and hurling himself into a light, begging for help.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;Huh?
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;When this book ends, it leaves the reader feeling like the story is unfinished. They crammed too much into it and it got sloppy. They couldve easily fleshed it out and added another novel to the series.
lt;br /gt;
lt;br /gt;A disappointing ending to what had otherwise been a terrific story.

Customer Review #2:
Didnt care for the characterizations
This book seemed pretty flat to me, compared to the characters on the TV show. Especially the sub-plot surrounding Spike. There was a lot "happening" in this book, but I couldnt be moved to care much. Unlike the show, where you can go from tears to laughing out loud in a heartbeat.

Customer Review #3:
 Loved it
I heard these were coming out, and it was approaching my birthday of last June, I got thise and play tickets from my mom after serious begging. She bought me them as soon as each one came out, funny thing is my best friend who doestn live at all close to me, got me the first one. But this is on the third one, it was a very well written book. The scenes between Buffy and Angel were pricless and touch the b/a shippers heart. A problem was of how much Buffy acted as if she loved Riley more than anything of the world, and Angel was past, why he dreamed about her and their forgotten day. Otherwise it is a good read, as a fan of either show, or the B/A or even b/r(gag) relationship. Just one thing to people who read my review or somethign that would never happen Nancy and Jeff read this, what the hell happend to Spike?! Is there a new crossover triogly in the making*looks hopeful*
