Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones / Jedi Readers, Step 3) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter" is a good read for those with an interest in the bounty hunters. The story begins between Episodes I and II, when Count Dooku hires Django to assassinate Senator Amidala. The plot quickly runs into "Attack of the Clones," finishing with the death of Zam Wesell. That written, it would be misleading to believe that this is merely an abbreviated retelling of a movie. This book features significant character development between Jango and his son, Boba. Furthermore, the reader witnesses many events that are mentioned or assumed to have taken place in the film. Eric Arnold's writing is perfect for most third graders. "Jango Fett" is set-up as a first chapter book. Valerie Reckert's illustrations are awful. Most images feature movie scenes that are superimposed with original artwork. The problem isn't the approach, it's the amateurish execution. That written, the intended audience would probably take no such issue. Illustrations aside, "Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter" is a high interest book for the young reader.

Star Wars: Jango Fett Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When Jango Fett makes a lucrative assassination, he finds that the bounty hunter Zam Wesell's involvement cuts out a lot of the profit. So, when a contract to retrieve a stolen artwork is offered, he takes the job. Unknown to him, though, his employer has hired Zam Wesell to undertake the same task. What will it be, competition or cooperation? Their lives may depend on it...
My son and I first read the Darth Maul graphic novel, which we both enjoyed immensely. Sad to say, this book does not hold a candle to that one. This book has more of a story line, and the look at Fett's home life is nice. The problem is, though, that the artwork is nowhere near as good as the Darth Maul book. That said, my son loves this book, and gives it an enthusiastic recommendation. Overall, I thought that it was a good book, ready to charm the Fett fan (such as my son).

The Fight to Survive (Star Wars: Boba Fett, Book 1) (A Clone Wars Novel) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was way better and more interesting to read than the other books about Boba Fett. It has more depth than the Boba Fett Dark Horse Comics. If you have not read this book, let me tell you that you are missing out on a lot!
The story speaks of relationships and the circle of life. You can relate to Boba Fett as you read about his relationship with his father, Jango Fett. It reminds you of young Anakin Skywalker who has a mother but no father. You get the opposite where Boba has a father and wished he had a mother. But it draws more from that. Witness Boba grow from an innocent wishful boy into the fearsome bounty hunter he becomes. It was very saddening to read about how Boba took the death of Zam Wesell, the sea-mice, and eventually his own father. Even the scene with Boba's only friend, Whrr touched me.
Boba is not the brutal killer as you think he is. This is a man who goes through many life experiences and valuable lessons. This is what made him stand out among the bounty hunters. Read this book!
