This book is not one of the best, but it isn't one of the worst. My mother had the same lung surgey about 7 or 8 years ago, so I knew what Buffy was feeling, and my heart really went out to her! The chapter with Veronique back in time are really good, as are the ones with Angel. One chapter that is really cool, though, is the one where Willow channels Lucy Hanover. If you want to know why read the book. If you don't know who Lucy Hanover is you should learn more about the show, or you may be confused!
