'Pascale understands the relationship that Whedonites have with the man for whom they are named, she understands the passion they have for his creations, and she also understands how much they' re going to know already.

It' s comprehensive, entertaining and thoughtful and, perhaps most importantly, it will send you running to your box-sets to relive his work'
