Negative Positive
Title: Gaining Faith
Review: This is almost the only place to find even a mention of Faith in the book series, let alone to experience her as a character. Which is a great pity, because there's a lot there to explore.This book is merely a novelization of Faith's first episodes on the series, and as such will be nothing new to the fans. The stories end at the point where Faith falls from grace, which hardly makes for a complete novel from her entry as a co-Slayer, but is at least a solid introduction to the confused psychological mess that is Faith for book series newcomers.As a novelization, it isn't bad. Laurence is able to give inner voice to the tormented Slayer, which is something the T.V. series of course could rarely do.Who's it for? Buffy and (especially) Faith fans, of course. Not a book for newbies to start out on, but one well worth getting for those who are behind on their Slayer watching, or to get to later for other readers.
