I found in reading this, i not only learned more in depthly about my favorite tv show, but i also learned about myself. Using the techniques used by the author to examine Buffy spiritually, i examined myself. This book was not only enjoyable, but also a learning experiance. By looking deeply into the roots of Buffy and using different religous principles, not only does Buffy make reference to these religions (Christianity, Buddhism, Wiccan among others) but,in part is these religions.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit, especially since I was reading it while taking a women in religion class.

The theme of spirituality in Buffy is taken up well by the author. She explores Buffy and contempory life and attempts to address the way in which Buffy informs or can inform us in everday life (friends, decisions, spirituality etc..). A theme of selflessness and self-accountablity in a (post)modern world make for interesting reading even if does get a bit moralizing at times.
Fans of Buffy will enjoy the season briefings which highlight spiritually problematic issues which our heroine ... Read More
