Title: Good in theory, but...
Review: I thought that this book had a great premise, but I was disappointed when it arrived because it wasn't what I expected. To me, the interesting thing with "Buffyspeak" has always been more about the process of creating the language, not a rehashing of clever phrases from scripts, books, and posting boards (which is what the book mainly focuses on). Though the dictionary is thoroughly detailed, I don't really care about what episodes these phrases originated in, the different ways in which Buffy-type words can function, or even having a record of Buffy vocab.Buy this if you find yourself saying exact quotes from past Buffy episodes in everyday conversation. Don't buy this if you're in search of anything more than what is strictly indicated in the book description.
