dammit.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's what I thought.

Huh, I could have sworn he was the one that helps get her out in the second book.
It has to do with a plot point of the first movie, which was cool, but I thought contradicted the later books.

Nope.
he's killed as punishment for the outcome, so in the second book, there's the effigy with his name on it to get the gamespeeps attention.

And, clearly I need to re-read the second book. I read them so fast that I don't remember them well at all.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yep. but I kind of don't want to re-read, if that makes any sense.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh! I didn't highlight far enough. Sorry, megan.
I'm not sure why he's getting so much coverage for the movie. He's not referred to by name in the first book, and dies pretty early on.

Totally makes sense. I didn't re-read. I don't want to be comparing the movie to the book the entire time. I just want to watch the movie and know what I already know from the book.

I wouldn't re-read, but I think readers will get way more out of the movie than non-readers, especially people who have read (and remembered better) the whole series. The movie is definitely informed by the later books.
