review 1: This collection of essays about all thinks Whedon is, like all collections, uneven but overall well done. For those of you out there who don't know about the work of Joss Whedon, and given that he directed the Avengers films I think most people have at least heard of him, this book explores his television work only, including "Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog." (I'm starting a blog. Would that mine would have Neil Patrick Harris singing, but I am not Joss Whedon). They explore his work as fans, writers, people of faith, feminists and people who watch way too much television. If you love him, this is worth your time.
review 2: I really wanted to like this book more than I did. I like Joss Whedon's work and thought it would be fun to read thoughts of others who wer... moree like-minded. Some of the essays were very interesting and entertaining, but the fact that 4 different shows are covered (Buffy, Angle, Firefly, and Dollhouse--5 if you count Dr. Horrible as a "tv show") makes the book feel "scattered" to me. And the essays are quite heavy on the "Buffy" subjects, not that that's bad, but I would have liked to read more about "Angel" and "Firefly." Maybe that's natural since "Buffy" was the first of the shows, and on the longest. I did really enjoy the essay about the finale of "Angel," specifically about the relationship of Wesley and Fred/Illyria--it actually made me tear up! less
