Clone Wars Adventures, Vol. 1 (Star Wars) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)My six year old son is going through the "Star Wars Phase," my mother says I also went through. These books are written on a level he can read on his own with stories that keep him interested enough to read them more than once. I was glad to find them online as our local bookstores and even comic book...

Star Wars - A Musical Journey Episodes I-VI - Piano Solos Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Obviously, kids like this music. Dan Coates does a really great job of arranging the sometimes complex music of John Williams so that it can be played by kids, but sounds sophisticated. There is also a range of difficulty of the pieces contained in this book. The "Star Wars Main Theme," and the "Imperial...

Shadows of the Empire (Star Wars) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Steve Perry's Shadows of the Empire, first published in 1996, is the centerpiece of a Lucasfilm multi-media marketing campaign that could be summed up with the tag line "Everything but the movie." Not only was Perry assigned to write the novel, but Kenner (now Hasbro) rolled out a line of action figures,...

Star Wars vs. Star Trek: Could the Empire kick the Federation's ass? And other galaxy-shaking enigmas Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)This book kind of misses the point of both Star Wars and Star Trek. The "who'd win" matches pitting Star Wars and Star Trek characters against each other come across as silly and vapid. Mixing the two genres doesn't really work. Star Wars is about, well, wars, while Star Trek is about, well, exploration....

Jedi Search (Star Wars: The Jedi Academy Trilogy, Vol. 1) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)The Jedi Academy trilogy was the first major effort to follow the outstanding-beyond-words Timothy Zahn trilogy that relaunched the Star Wars frenzy in the early 90s. As such, Kevin Anderson had a VERY tough act to follow and there is inevitably a bit of a let down for readers coming straight from the...

Dragons of a Lost Star (The War of Souls, Volume II) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)If you read my review of "Dragons of a Fallen Sun" you know what I thought was lacking in it: a bit sparse on plot and weak characters you couldn't identify with.I am pleased to admit that "Dragons of a Lost Star" has thoroughly exceeded my expectations. Not only are the old characters (Tas, Goldmoon)...

Wild Space (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just couldn't bring myself to enjoy this book, despite my attempts at doing so.I know there's a lot of griping from other reviewers about "no action," and "no fight scenes." It's true. There isn't. Is this a diversion from the normal Star Wars EU fare? Yes, it is. Does that make this a bad book. Certainly...

Star Wars, Episode IV - A New Hope Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)First, let's dispense with the myth that Lucas wrote this himself. It was fully written by noted sci-fi/fantasy author Alan Dean Foster (who also wrote the novelizations for Alien, Aliens, Alien3, Krull, Black Hole, Alien Nation and although credited to Gene Roddenberry, he also wrote Star Trek The Motion...

Dark Journey (Star Wars, The New Jedi Order #10) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Despite the great ramp up and action packed novel that Star By Star was (book 9 in the New Jedi Order Series), I felt this sequel did nothing to advance the overall plot of the Yuuzhan Vong war.Hopefully you'll continue to read the rest of my review with an open mind on why I am critical on this latest...

Star Wars: Star Pilot (DK READERS) Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)"Star Pilot" is a tour of Star Wars' great flying vehicles. The title isn't entirely accurate since the focus isn't actually on pilots, but rather the machines. Beyond this, the scope is broader than space ships alone as the book includes pod racers and republic gunships. The scope includes the entire...

Star Wars, Episode II - Attack of the Clones Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)R.A. Salvatore is pretty much accredited to re-launching the stagnant Star Wars novels with Vector Prime (the first novel in the continuing New Jedi Order series) and killing off Chewbacca. With his style of writing, and previous work within the Star Wars universe, it was probably pretty easy for Lucasfilm...
