  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt; &lt;B&gt;Truth and Consequences&lt;/B&gt; &lt;P&gt; Buffy Summers's adjustment to life at U.C. Sunnydale has not gone smoothly. She feels awkward, insecure, and jealous that Willow's all over the college life. So when she is visited by a prophecy of impending danger, the timing couldn't be worse. There's plenty of evil afoot as it is: a unified troop of vampires has descended upon Sunnydale, and tension between Buffy and Willow gets in the way of demon hunting.  &lt;P&gt; Before long, a single moment of bad judgment catapults Buffy into an alternate future dimension where vampires reign supreme. Imprisoned in the body of her 24-year-old-self -- and confronting friends and foes the likes of which she'd never imagined -- the Slayer must uncover her past misstep and correct it, or risk facing a terrifying monster that she herself has created....</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Just a solid serial novel.  Good alternative universe construction.  What &quot;The Wish&quot; might have been if it had been more than a 43 minute television episode (not to detract from the show - it was one of the best written episodes of the entire series).]]></body>

This one was recommended to me by a friend and fellow Buffy fan.<br/><br/>The story idea is a fun one and fits well in the Buffyverse.  It was also cool to see most all the major players in the Buffy series make an appearance.  Downers for me were h...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6705822">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book in four parts (as it came originally, before they collected them all in one novel), and it was very impressive.  In general, Christopher Golden is my favourite Buffy novel authour, and this is probably my favourite Buffy novel.

A few of my favorite things was how Buffy woke up in the body of her older self (I love time-travel and alternate-universe stories), how she escaped, who the big bad villan wearing a friend's face is (I don't want to spoil you!), and how Buffy manages to save them all wh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4711136">more...</a>]]></body>
