Summary: Five by five
Comment: This book collects four of the best Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes that feature Faith, the rogue vampire slayer. The character is introduced in Faith, Hope and Trick. She is a sexy, sassy slayer on the run. She is a person who has always lived on the edge. She loves slaying and the power that comes with the slayer strength. In Bad Girls Faith introduces Buffy to the "See, Want, Take" principle. Their reckless behavior results in the death of a human. Faith's solution is to blame Buffy in Consequences. When the plan backfires the council steps in and drives Faith to the dark side. Faith, working for the mayor, tries to steal Angel's soul by giving him that one moment of happiness in Enemies.
James Laurence weaves a nice back-story to tie the four episodes together. I enjoyed reading the book even though I have seen the episodes. Also I think that readers who have not seen the TV series would enjoy these four tales of power and corruption.

Summary: Five by five and livin' large: The Faith Trials, Volume 1
Comment: Having focused on Angel, Xander and Willow in previous collections of novelized episodes from "Buffy the Vampire Series," we now come to the first volume of "The Faith Trials," featuring a quartet of episodes from the series' third season. If Kendra, the first "other" Slayer was too devoted to duty, then certainly Faith is too much of the free spirit. This was clear from the start with her first appearance in "Faith, Hope & Trick" where it was clear there was a new Slayer in town with a totally new attitude. The other episodes novelized by James Laurence are "Revelations," with the "bad" watcher Gwendolyn Post, "Bad Girls," where Faith accidentally kills the Mayor's assistant during a girl's night out that goes horribly wrong, and "Consequences," where an unrepentant Faith joins forces with the Mayor. Obviously this leaves room for further episodes from the Faith the Rogue Slayer story arc for the next volume of "The Faith Trials." If you missed these episodes or like to read over the stories from favorite episodes not available on tape, you will want to pick up this book. Not as good as some of the original stories offered in Buffy books, but still worth owning. There are also some excellent full page color shots of Eliza Dushku as Faith. Note: The cover claims that one of the teleplays novelized in this volume "Enemies," but it really is "Revelations." Fortunately, both were written by Douglas Petrie, so he did not lose a cover credit.

Summary: Brilliant.
Comment: If you are a Faith fan, buy this. It explains how she feels troughout the book, covering her first 4 episodes. The only tiny critisism is that I wished it showed more of Faith's point of view.
In the middle of the book are glossy pictures. A great buy.
