The First has come to Sunnydale and set its sights on taking
down the Slayer. On the side of the White Hats: Buffy, Xander,
Willow, Anya, Dawn, Giles, Spike, Faith, Angel and an assortment
of young innocent untried potentials. In this season spanning
storyline, Buffy Summers will learn about the primeval origins
of her own strength, and have the opportunity to train those
who would succeed her. And as the forces of evil find their
way back to the Hellmouth - where it all began - the Slayer
will uncover what being the Chosen One is all about: Power...
Chosen is one chunky book - and so it should be, as
it is a full novelisation of season seven; the last season
of Buffy to ever be made. Each episode is given a chapter
of the book, and it's pretty much like reading the script
except it adds its own nuances here and there to give meanings
that may have been hinted at on the show, which will either
be spot on with you feelings, or give you a totally different
view.
Series
seven was a great one, and so is this book. If you take the
time out to sit and read it, it makes you notice things you
may have missed first time round in the episode: if you have
already seen it, and if you haven't then it's the perfect
thing to stop your curiosity. It'll probably make you smile,
laugh out loud and cry, and it just adds a little je ne
sais quoi to the show we know and love.
If
you need a quick Buffy fix it might be worth picking
this up 'cos you can relive all of series seven, or just pick
out an episode or a moment you loved and go back to it where
ever you are, at home, travelling around, in your lunch hour...
I'm
not a big fan of the Buffy 'files' series of books,
but this novelisation doesn't come across like a copy of the
show, it only adds to it.
A must have addition to any Buffy collection.
