I'm an avid Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, but I'm terrible at podcasts, so I haven't listened to the one by the authors as much as it's been recommended. I hoped this book would be a good substitute or jumping off point to get me into it, but that wasn't what it was at all, and I ended up DNFing. This is the memoir of two women I don't know anything about and ultimately did not find very compelling, with only the briefest of asides about watching Buffy as it relates to their life. Also, I think it suffers from basically having a prologue that summarizes everything the book is going to be about– why do I need to listen to the whole thing when it's already all been laid out in the first five minutes? If you know and love the podcast, this book is probably perfect for you. If you know and love Buffy and are going into this as purely a fan of the show. I wouldn't recommend it. Thanks to NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for the ALC of this to review.
