Keep Me In Mind
Buffy The Vampire Slayer

by Nancy Holder

      If, like this reviewer, you spent the later series of Buffy wishing that her time at high school hadn't ended so quickly, then this book is for you. It takes the reader back to those far-off days, before Angel and Cordelia left for LA but with a difference - you get to choose what happens in the book!

      Back in my own high school years there was a book called The Warlock of Firetop Mountain which started the fashion for these pick-your-own stories. Read a section, make your choices at the end of it, and turn to the appropriate page. Will you succeed and get rid of the evil sorcerer from mediaeval Bavaria, or will another Slayer be summoned to replace you? There are many possible endings, and only thinking like Buffy will get you to the right one. Of course, much fun can be had in playing it different ways and thus this is not a book you just read through once, or indeed actually read through at all. The story itself is quite simple - maybe as a straight novel it might be a bit too simple - but it isn't just an ordinary book and too much depth would be very confusing. It's fun and great nostalgia value too for fans - just the thing to take with you on holiday.
