Summary: The view from the passenger seat...
Review: This was an interesting book. It was written from the perspective of someone who is not prescicly friends with him but who is familiar to and with him. Someone who visited the sets of Buffy, Angel, and Firefly. Someone who had his blessing to speak with people very influential in his life (his favorite college professor, the appreciation seems to go both ways) and other business partners like producers for his shows and writers and directors. I got a good basic knowledge of Joss and a feel of what it's like to be around him. I don't think I got into his head much but then, I'm not sure someone who's not Joss could explain that very well. I'll wait for the autobiography for that.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must-have for any Buffy/Angel/Firefly fan
Review: This was so far beyond what I expected that I hardly know where to begin. There is enough detail about Joss' life to satisfy the curious, but not enough to bore the casual reader. The interviews are masterfully done. I'm amazed that Ms. Havens got to speak to so many people in and around Joss' life. Also, she managed to capture both Joss' genius and his wonderfully quirky sense of humor.

In short, this book did something that I thought could not be done. It increased my respect and admiration for Joss Whedon.
