hotrod mate.....

save your money......

the novel was shit........& as someone else said it's all Stover's fault......the novel is extremely poorly written, I found myself skimming through entire chapters of absolute garbage that had nothing to do with what we know happens in the film trying to find the "juicy" bits.....

the biggest problem i had with the novel was the pacing......the battle of Coruscant (from beginning to the landing of the shattered cruiser) occupies I'd say atleast 40% of the 400 page novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

after that the novel speeds through every plot point, some not being addressed at all (Kashyyyk, Dagobah, Alderaan), the duel was bitterly disappointing to read, leaving the heavily inconsistent plot threads (& the rebuilding of Vader) to be tied up in about 5 pages.....

i feel like a cheap whore for reading it & wish I'd never laid eyes on the damn thing! Save that £15 & get drunk instead....

as for the making of book, well that's actually quite a good read...except there's no last chapter!!!!!! you can log onto www.starwars.com to read this though (& it's free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

the pictures are excellent, & of course incredibly spoiler-laden!

that was a tenner well spent!!

& another thing...it has today been announced that we can have midnight madness for ep3 here in the UK...

WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
