Three stories from the first half of season two are brought together here with a brief prologue and epilogue to tidy things up. As with the other Pocket Books' novelisations, Richie Tankersley gives us a pretty straightforward adaptation of the televised episodes in question (HALLOWEEN and both parts of WHAT'S MY LINE?) with some brief descriptive passages. The result is an relatively enjoyable, if brief, read that isn't too taxing on either the reader or their pocket. To be honest, though, I'd rather have seen HALLOWEEN and SCHOOL HARD included together along with some flashback material as a Spike and Dru collection, and a separate book to cover both parts of WHAT'S MY LINE? Had both books been around the usual Pocket Books' novelisation length of 200-220 pages, it would have been a more interesting read than what we have here. On the plus side, all three episodes are pretty good for the first half of season two, and at least we're spared Kendra's annoying accent! Hardly an essential purchase, but just about worth it for completists and those who haven't seen the episodes in question. BACK TO THE TOP |
