I really loved this book. Star Wars is really starting to grow on me. Before the newer movies came out I liked it, but didn’t love it. Now (and I know a lot of people don’t like the newer movies) I love it. This book only encouraged that love. It was very dynamic in characters. I got to see characters grow, fall, and meet their destiny. In just one book. Most of the time it takes a whole series to complete that character growth and cycle. This book made me laugh, cry, and sit on the very edge of my chair. And that is all a good thing. Because if a book doesn’t evoke emotion out of you, then you weren’t really in it. And the writing wasn’t good enough to get you into the story. I believe that any Star Wars fan, big or small, has to read this book. Any non-Star Wars fan should also read it because the characters are so amazingly written. It also might get you to like Star Wars. Which is a necessity in life.
