Great book...can't wait to see it live!!

Having seen the original movie and then wondering where Pike went when the show debuted, I was pleased to pick up and read this book. Not only did it answer my questions, it also made me smile, cry and laugh. Unlike the on screen romance with clueless TA/Army comando Riley Finn, the Buffy in this book is torn between two men who genuinely understand her calling and do not try to make light of it. Thus, Buffy's decision is really interesting (especially when we learn that Pike and Angel can actually stand to be around each other)Sure, some people have panned the book, claiming that it deals too much with Giles and the relationship between his father, but in actuality, one can skip over those parts and not miss too much in the book. This book is an essential for all BTVS fans who want our heroine to actually be placed in an emotionally realistic love triangle.Like many other Buffy fans, I believe this would be a wonderful script for a badly-needed second movie and should seriously be considered. Even if there are no specifics mentioned for the role of Pike, physical and character descriptions make it clear that Golden wants no other than Luke Perry (who was the original Pike) to reprise the role. Because his presence was ironically one of the reasons why I went to see the 1992 movie, I would certainly not have any problems with that.

Another Golden winner.

I have been rereading some of my favorite Buffy books. Sins of the Father ranks right up there on the top of my list. Christopher Golden has a real talent for developing these characters. While Giles faces his most difficult foe, Buffy must fight demons both real and personal. Her old friend Pike returns. Angel wonders if he should step aside and let Buffy experience love with a human. Its a wonderful triangle of lovers old and new. The action of course is gripping. I enjoyed this even more with the second reading. I recommend this to all Buffy fans.

I couldn't put it down!

This book is the first book I've read from the Buffy novels and I was quite impressed. I felt as if I was actually watching the show. I read the book in one night so that should give you a hint that the book was a page turner! It was great to see Pike brought back from the movie version several years ago and inserting him into Buffy's current lifestyle and situation was written in perfection. I really disliked Pike from the film, but thanks to the book, I have a whole new appreciation for him. All Buffy fans should read this!

Another awesome book from Christopher Golden

This book was by far my fav book out of the whole 'Buffy' bookseries, excluding the Gatekeeper Trilogy. But I know whenever a bookby Christopher Golden is coming out, that it's going to be most awesome. I was glad to see Pike at least get some closure. Ever since the movie, I've always wanted to know what happened. And also, a book that finally centered on Giles. The Giles plot line was SO AWESOME! I recommend this book to those who do not even watch the TV Series.

I couldn't put this book down!

I loved this book so much! It is really exciting! If you are a fan of Buffy and Angel as a couple (which I am) you will begin to hate Pike (which I did) and really want him to leave. Angel is great in this book, he is really understanding. I actually cried in parts! If you love Buffy, you will really love this book! I totally recommend it! (And I am really picky about books, if it isn't good, I stop reading, but it definitly wasn't the case with Sins of the Father!)
