Star Wars, Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (Junior Novelization) Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't have that much interest in Star Wars. In fact, I don't think I ever saw this movie when it was released during my childhood. (I think I remember watching one or two of these when I was babysitting...)
Anyway, decades pass, and I have a son who is in raptures over Star Wars. OK. I thought it would be a passing phase, but he's still going strong, so I use Star Wars to encourage reading (and saving money -- he wants the LEGO sets.)
The junior novelizations are great because the movie screenplay unwinds on the page. Awesome. He liked this one very well and has re-read it a half-dozen times. I notice him using more complicated verbs as a result of the books -- that's great.
The books aren't literature, but he did his summer reading list books in June. July was for his own choices. He read for HOURS. SometimesI had to set a timer to tell him when he had to STOP reading and come be part of the family again.
I recommend the books. (175 - 200 pages each)

The Emperor.The Ewoks.Jabba the Hutt.The climactic lightsaber battle . . . an amazing all-new novelization tying into the massive DVD release of the classic Star Wars movies.
