You really can't go wrong with sci-fi and fantasy authors giving their take on what makes/made Buffy the cult production that it came to be.

The authors delve into everything from Buffy's single status to whether or not the Scoobies should be insiders or outsiders in the world of normal people.

If you thought you were the only one dissecting the Buffyverse and how it might relate to your life...think again! It seems like it's the trendy thing to do!

Most of these essays are on the silly side, intentionally or not. The only writer I'd actually read before was Sarah Zettel and I liked her essay that made some sense of the difference between the high school seasons and the post high school seasons - why the latter didn't work as well. I haven't been watching reruns, but it will probably be fun in a few years after memory has faded. (January 17, 2005)

More a "fun" read than the scholarly Wilcox book I recently finished (though I really enjoyed that, perhaps more so.) The volume's essays were hit-and-miss for me ... loved some, loathed others.
