I'll admit it. If Joss Whedon wrote his grocery list on the back of a gas receipt and published it, I would wait in line all night, twitching and drooling to buy the first copy. Then I would moon over it to all my friends, blissfully ignoring their obvious contempt. "Eggs and Milk!" I would exclaim, "Criminy, he's a genius! Genius! And oranges, who would have thought? What style! What humor! What daring!"

Then I would drain a pint of my blood, put into a jelly jar, and mail it to Joss Whedon, with a note written in blood, "My life for you," and, perhaps, a tasteful nude photo of myself.

With that said, if you still trust my opinion, I thought Fray was pretty typical Whedon: kickass female heroin, well-conceived fantasy world, evil baddies, witty quips and hilarity. It's pretty much a darker, badder Buffy, in the future...with mutant fish people. This is where the story falters - because as amusing as it is, and as much as I like the nifty little plot twists, I feel like I've read it before, in different degrees.

I thought it was a good read, not great, and not worth list price to anyone who hasn't considered mailing Joss Whedon a pint of their own blood. Whedon fans will enjoy it. I'd also recommend it to young, butt-kicking teenage girls who want a departure from the SEX SEX SEX and impossible anatomies of other female superheroes. For non-Buffy fans, the story does stand on its own, apart from the Buffy-verse.

I also read this with my godson, who enjoyed the violence and mutants.
