You know the drill. Buffy Summers moves to Sunnydale, meets her new Watcher Rupert Giles and befriends Xander and Willow. Oh, and there's the small matter of local vampire The Master trying to open the portal between his world and ours. At the time, WELCOME TO THE HELLMOUTH and THE HARVEST seemed stunning when Sky first showed them. Since then, they've been eclipsed by some of the later episodes, but they still stand up well as an cracking introduction to the series. Sadly, Richie Tankersley Cuckick's novelisation doesn't build on that. Instead, we merely get the usual Pocket Books approach of the script plus "he/she said" tagged on. That it's a relatively enjoyable read is more down to the quality of the episodes themselves than the novelisation, as it's nothing to write home about. So, the usual BUFFY novelisation rules pretty much apply here - if you haven't got the episodes on video or you're a completist, then buy it, otherwise it's far from being a must-have.
