Customer reviews:  A nice fantasy that brings back memories., 2008-04-20
I've only recently begun reading the Buffy tie-in books. I already love reading SF & Fantasy titles, but as I've been missing the Buffy tv series I thought I'd give the books a try. Apocalypse Memories is the 3rd title I've read, & so far I'd say it's the most enjoyable (Tho' I also enjoyed Child of the Hunt). If you've read the other reviews you'll have seen that there are inconsistancies etc in the books, but in all honesty - who cares. I read this for a bit of light fantasy reading, from a show I already know & enjoy, and I wasn't disappointed. The story was interesting and held my attention, while the characters were close enough to the familiar ones from the show to be 'believable'. Also, as an older reader, I didn't find it too juvenile for my age. I think anyone who likes/loves the show, or just likes Fantasy writing, will enjoy this story.
 Poor effort all round, 2004-04-24
SPOILER ALERT... This book is riddled with continuity errors and blatantdisregard for established Buffyverse facts. It is supposed to be set atthe start of Season 7 of Buffy after Willow has arrived back in Sunnydalebut Giles is also there in this. Yet Anya is till a Demon which in theseries by the time Giles gets to Sunnydale she isn't. Those who know theseries know that that means there would be potentials living there aswell, but in this book they are not even mentioned. Giles is also verytactile which is wrong for the season 7 plot. Spike and Buffy are actingclose and he is sane, again wrong. The attitude of Giles towards theimpending apocalypse is unbelievable and irritates. The God, Angels, Christian references are too heavy as Buffy as a series has alwayscarefully avoided tying itself to anyone dominant belief system. Also thisbook is one of those stories that ends with a reset button that meansNOTHING in the entire story ever happened! So the whole thing waspointless.
