Summary: I loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I really liked this book. It took me about a week to get through it, about one hour a day. I liked the way Crispin took the character of HAN SOLO and expanded on his early history. It was really good read. I am now reading the second book, THE HUTT GAMBIT. It is also looking very good

Summary: Good, not great, but good...
Review: This book gave an excellent depiction of Han Solo in his early days and had some interesting characters, but didn't have that great of a plot. It was very fast paced, though, and definately captured the atmosphere of the movies. Hope her next one's as good! -Embe

Summary: Boring
Review: It took me nearly a month to read "the Paradise Snare." I just kept putting it down. I love the "Star Wars" genre, and I have read--and enjoyed--most of the further adventures of the saga, but this book didn't "grab me" the way the other SW books have. I just think the book was too predictable, and the relationship story-line concerning Bria was dull.

Rating:
Summary: EXCELLENT Book
Review: I picked up Paradise Snare and could not put it down. If all Star Wars books are this great, I might as well read the WHOLE collection! Great job

Summary: Very interesting reading. . . GREAT!
Review: I thought it was a good book. It took a little time for me to get into it, but after about 50 pages, I was hooked, I couldn't put it down. A.C. Crispin did good with Han's background and everything. I hoped for a little more backstory about Han's young life, but that's okay, Han Solo isn't Han Solo without the mystery about him. All in all, I thought was a great book and I can't wait till the second and third

Summary: Author's response to Paradise Snare reviews.
Review: I enjoyed reading the (mostly) positive comments on my book. I worked really hard to get Han's character "right." I hope the Star Wars fans who posted here will also like THE HUTT GAMBIT and REBEL DAWN (due out in August and December)

Summary: A great book!!

Summary: 'Paradise Snare' will trap you.
Review: There is not much I can say that hasn't been written by other readers. But I will say this:
It is very rare that I will pick up a book and not put it down untill the last page is read. The first part of the new Han Solo Triogy is one of those rare books.
Though, I may be a bit bias because Han has always been my favorite (mostly due to Harrison Ford in the movies), I love the Star Wars Universe, and I read most of the post-Zahn novels. However, this was one of the only Star Wars novels that I could picture clearly. There isn't too much technical jargon or bizzar discription to get in the way of good story telling. The writing is crisp and action packed.
This novel fills in the blanks of Han Solo's life. For a person just starting to read the Star Wars novels, I can see how parts of this book could be brief and unsatisfing (i.e. the encounter between Han and his cousin Thracken Sal-Solo. Thracken was first mentioned in The Corilian Trilogy - which I recomend reading before this). This is the books only downpoint.
HOWEVER, when a book can keep you turning the pages even though you KNOW he lives and you KNOW he doesn't get the girl in the end (Han, as you know, ends up with Leia) that small downpoint is easily negated.
In conclusion, if you ever wanted to know the man behind the rouge and how he got that way, this is the perfect book. I can only hope that the rest of the trilogy is as good. 'Paradise Snare' is nothing but fun.
