Joss Whedon - The Genius Behind Buffy (Electronic book text)

"Joss Whedon: The Genius Behind Buffy is a biography of Joss Whedon," the wunderkind creator of television shows "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel" and "Firefly."
From "Booklist": Writers, actors, and fans often call Joss Whedon a genius. ItOCOs easy to see why. Whedon, who got his start writing for Roseanne, dreamed of writing movie screenplays. He got his shot when he sold his script for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but the movie fell far short of his hopes for it. After a few years of working as a script doctor, Whedon got the chance to do"Buffy" again, this time as a TV show.
Few expected it to succeed, but WhedonOCOs humor and intelligence shone through in the scripts, and viewers quickly became attached to the engaging, witty characters. Buffy kept getting better: each season of the show featured a complex story arc possessed of a real sense of danger and further developed the characters. The last few years have brought the Buffy spin-off "Angel," the lamentably canceled "Firefly" (a space western), and the comic book Fray. Engaging and filled with fun quotes, this is a must-read for WhedonOCOs many fans."
