Book Reviews of Spark and Burn (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Book Review: What a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I've waited for years for a Buffy book which centres on Spike and makes his character the focus of the story, so I couldn't wait to read "Spark and Burn" so much so that I ordered it well in advance of the release date. But what a disappointment! This is described as an "original" novel based on the TV series but there's nothing original about it. It's just a word for word rehash of the most well known scenes from the program which involve Spike, cobbled together by a few "missing" scenes which add nothing of value. You'd be better off watching the DVDs - it was all I could do to be bothered to finish it. The whole book jumps around from one time period to another and back again - it gets hard to remember whether the Spike you're reading about at any one moment has a chip, a soul, neither or both and it becomes increasingly more difficult to care! Where's the adventure and excitement, the witty one-liners, the tension, the complex relationships, the great (original) storyline? The writers of the series created in Spike a fascinatingly flawed, enigmatic and multi-layered character and this was the perfect opportunity to write a brilliant book about him. Unfortunately this isn't it.
