Summary: Great book...can't wait to see it live!!
Comment: Having seen the original movie and then wondering where Pike went when the show debuted, I was pleased to pick up and read this book. Not only did it answer my questions, it also made me smile, cry and laugh.
Unlike the on screen romance with clueless TA/Army comando Riley Finn, the Buffy in this book is torn between two men who genuinely understand her calling and do not try to make light of it. Thus, Buffy's decision is really interesting (especially when we learn that Pike and Angel can actually stand to be around each other)
Sure, some people have panned the book, claiming that it deals too much with Giles and the relationship between his father, but in actuality, one can skip over those parts and not miss too much in the book. This book is an essential for all BTVS fans who want our heroine to actually be placed in an emotionally realistic love triangle.
Like many other Buffy fans, I believe this would be a wonderful script for a badly-needed second movie and should seriously be considered. Even if there are no specifics mentioned for the role of Pike, physical and character descriptions make it clear that Golden wants no other than Luke Perry (who was the original Pike) to reprise the role. Because his presence was ironically one of the reasons why I went to see the 1992 movie, I would certainly not have any problems with that.

Summary: This is a good story, but not one of the best BTVS books..
Comment: "Sins Of the Father" tries to do too much in too little space. The initial plot line of Buffy and Pike versus a stone demon was interesting, and a change from the typical vampire stories. However, we then get handed a couple of subplots that don't mesh well with the main story. Giles' confrontation with a "vampire" who appears to be his father might have been better handled as a separate book. And the "personal" elements--Angel/Buffy dealing with an old boyfriend showing up, Giles' issues with his father and his destiny as a Watcher, are familiar territory already. All in all, I'd give it between two and three stars.

Summary: Sins of the Father
Comment: In the past couple of years I have read a lot of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer books and this one, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sins of the Father by Christopher Golden, has been the best so far. This book helps explain the connection between the movie and the TV series. The one character from the movie, Pike comes to Buffy and her gang, for help from the monster that has been following him. They all get together to defeat this "big-bad" like they always do. The past is pretty much revisited in this book.
I would recommend this book to teenagers and those who like the TV series. It ties up a lot of loose ends between the movie and series, so those who wonder how they go together would now have the answers. This also is a pretty simple read, so for those looking for something not too difficult, this would be a great book.
