Disclaimer: Not sure why I feel the need to say this, but in case you're wondering, I bought this the day before the recent news about Joss Whedon was released. Here's how I feel about the news:
1. Joss Whedon sounds like a jerk; good for the female cast members that are speaking out about it.
2. I still and always will love Buffy.
There. Now, onto the book. This really needed more editing. Not only are there typos, but are factual errors (it says Andrew was a "fellow Scooby and vampire" - he was neither). It is repetitive in places and not detailed enough in others. The sentences are awkward.
The art is inconsistent - sometimes pretty good, sometimes not-so-good, and the artist kept drawing Buffy's nose differently in every picture.
As an homage to Buffy, this is fine but underwhelming. As a self-help-type book, even a humorous one, it fails. The advice is pretty shallow; if you want to gain some Buffy wisdom you'd be better off re-watching the show.

Such a cute idea, and the art is fantastic! Features all the best Buffy quotes. 5/5

Fun, little, up-beat read. It’s a cute reminder of the show & all it’s greatness. The art work is nice, but Buffy’s eyes are green not blue, don’t know what’s up with that. Also, sometimes sentences are awkward and there are some typos. It does have some great quotes and makes a nice gift for a Buffy fan though.

It's cute. But just meh in terms of content.

A fun motivational guide. The art is cute and bright. Some pages inspire based on each of the major characters such as "Be More Buffy" and "Be More Oz." "Life Lesson" and "What Would Buffy Do?" pages offer advice for real-world problems like crummy jobs and toxic relationships based on how Buffy dealt with them on the show. The pages are concise and upbeat. There was a noticeable typo on one page that stood out. It won't change your life but if you are a fan of the show this is a fun coffee table book to pick up and enjoy a few snippets of here and there as you go about your day.
