Pretty much the usual "it's a hot TV series, let's write an unauthorized book about it". Readable, but nothing special.

I randomly picked this up from the library because I'm a fan of Buffy The Vampire Slayer and thought it would be fun to reminisce. It was kind of fun to read a book written while the show was just getting started. It is completely out of date now, especially where the actor's biographies are concerned. They have gone on to do much more than they had at this point. It also has appendices about Dark Shadows and other movies and tv shows about vampires, which, while interesting, veer away from the point of the book. Still, I enjoyed a great trip down memory lane.
