Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Origin by Christopher Golden
3.0
Having never seen the film I was interested to see the events the led Buffy and her mum to move to Summerville. It turns out she burned down the school gym.
Seriously though, this was a pretty straightforward origin story, with the watcher (who looks nothing like Donald Sutherland) being quite at home hanging around the girls' changing rooms...
The vampires looked a bit weird and certainly more batlike (and green) than the ones from the show, but the story was okay, if a little jumpy.
I liked how at the end it turns out this is a retelling by Buffy to the Scooby Gang which goes to explaining how she looked more Sarah Michelle Geller than Kirsty Swanson (any other differences could be dismissed as Buffy misremembering or deliberately changing details).
