About this title

Review

For a Hundred Years I offered an ugly death to everyone I met. And I did it with a song in my heart ... You have no idea what it's like to have done the things I have done and to care ...

So speaks the handsome and mysterious Angel, the ancient bloodsucker who captures the heart of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the TV series and this glossy, but rather shallow, volume is devoted to lots of large colour photos of his rather unfrightening form. Actor David Boreanaz--while obviously chosen for the role partly for his dark, brooding looks and a glint in his eye that can suggest a hint of evil lurking beneath the surface--brings a great deal of depth to his role but that is not explored in this volume. What you do get is a rather samey collection of publicity shots of Angel either by himself or with his Vampire-slaying girlfriend, along with a couple of quotes from the TV show and Boreanaz. Most fans of the show or the character will own, or have seen, most of these photos already and only die-hard Buffy fans who must simply own everything will find a reason to justify buying what is, at the end of the day, just a rather overpriced magazine. A disappointing addition to Simon and Schuster's otherwise excellent cannon of Buffy-related books. --JoanneWells
