Pocket Books continue to serve up BUFFY novelisations in their usual three episodes to a book format, allegedly centering on one character. And, unlike, say, THE WILLOW FILES, this collection is correctly titled as all three episodes centre heavily on Angel, or rather Angel and Angelus. Nancy Holder's novelisations of SURPRISE, INNOCENCE and PASSION are pretty straightforward, and nothing to really write home about. Having said that, at least the episodes themselves are all good stuff, but Angel's voice-over in PASSION is nowhere near as good in print as on film. On the minus side, there's a massive spoiler for the first part of Becoming which has unfortunately slipped through the net. It's just a shame that with some of the pivotal season two episodes, SURPRISE and INNOCENCE and the BECOMING two-parter, Pocket Books are unwilling or unable to novelise just the two linked episodes in the same volume and give us something more than just the script with 'he said', 'she said' tagged onto every line. So, as with the other BUFFY novelisations this is a couple of hours' reading at the most, and only really for completists and those who haven't got the episodes on tape. Everyone else can save their money towards something that's more a 'must-have' than this. BACK TO THE TOP |
