Summary: A Novelization of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer pilot episode
Comment: "The Harvest" is a novelization by Richie Tankersley Cusick of the two-part pilot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer written by series creator JossWhedon. Buffy Summers arrives in Sunnydale and discovers not only a new Watcher and new friends, but a Master Vampire just begging to be slayed. The first ten chapters of the novel cover Episode 1 "Welcome to the Hellmouth," with the rest of the book covering Episode 2, "The Harvest," which is just fine since it really is just one giant story.
Since Cusick's did the novelization of the original Buffy film he is obviously the ideal writer for this initial Buffy television book and he does an adequate job. If you read the film novelization it is fascinating to see how the Buffy idea was revamped for the television series. In addition to toning down the film's ... style, Buffy is given a much better supporting cast with the Scooby gang, an elegant counterpoint with Giles the new Watcher, and a vampire with a soul for the character twist that would give the show its greatest pathos. Note: You should also be aware that while the various chronicles collected under the names of the characters (Angel, Xander and Willow) continue to provide novelizations of the show's episodes, these chronicles are neither chronologically organized nor complete. However, they can be rather useful in filling in the gaps in your viewing record.

Summary: Pure Joss
Comment: It takes about an hour to read this book, which isn't any great feat giving it's a straight up rendition of the show's pilot. It was good, mindless fun.
The dialogue is pure Joss. The novelization comes in the description of the actions, some of the backstory and in how the writer describes the characters.
