Summary: Terrible! Slow and really boring!
Review: Just terrible! This book was awful! It was slow, wordy, and the plot was a little thin, if not confusing.

The author spends way too much time inside the characters' heads. It often takes an entire chapter for just two characters to have a conversation. There's too much description on unimportant details, and the same expressions are used over and over and over. Fett escaping from the Sarlacc pit was just bad. Just leave him dead! Besides, wouldn't Fett blowing the Sarlacc up from the inside out blow him up too? Neelah was really annoying and served no purpose in the story. Dengar was pathetic, and Fett was written badly. Then, all the jumping around from 'Now' to 'Then' was bad. It interrupted the flow of the story, if it had a flow at all. It served no purpose in the entire scheme of things, and readers would do better to read books like the Han Solo Trilogy, Thrawn Trilogy, or the X-Wing series.

Unless you like Boba Fett A LOT, I would suggest you skip this book entirely, or if you just HAVE to read it, borrow it from your library or a friend, don't waste your money.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A plot with a lot of twists
Review: A lot of people didn't like this book, but I thought it was great! If you like Boba Fett, this is a must read! This plot has a lot of twists, and it's neat to see that even peolpe that are as good as Boba Fett run into trouble when they're outnumbered, (unlike Han Solo, etc.)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good book
Review: The way Boba Fett escaped from the Sarlacc was pretty cool, but I found Neelah annoying. Could be better.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Bre's
Review: This book starts out well, but descends into the world of wall-paper characters, poor characterisations, and boring dialogue. Ditto for the two sequels.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: fantasy not fact
Review: I have been reading some of the reviews and frankly I am amazed no wait I am scared. people this is not reall its just fantasy.I can't belive what you're criticizing about. I've read the E.G.T.V.A.V and all those other books an I now it's not perfect according to everything else.but this isn't the bible it's not suuposed to be perfect.with all those authors writting all those books we get this huge collectionof star wars novels each of them containing a piece of information of the charecters,ships,events etc.you can't expect Kevin J. Aderson to read all of them just sothat he can write a novel.so it's not perfect so what? it's just entertainment.Also I read a letter by someone named Shawn in wich he said what he thought about the author.now as someone who really appreciates the author's work I have taken the liberty to answer him:WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! HOW MANY NOVELS HAVE YOU WRITTEN! JERK!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a great novel
Review: this book is one of the best star wars novels I ever read.while I agree with some one who said that zukus (okay, okay so I frogot how to spell the name, so what?)is shown like and idiot even though he's not and yes hey should explain how bossk got out of his "tight spot" in tales of bounty hunters but and the other hand , another guy said that bobba fett had been killed as if it were the most obvious thing in this world (a statement wich shows his stupidity) and said that the novel was terible.if you would have read tales from jabbas palaces you would've seen that he survives but even if you hadn't that's what the first few chapters are all about.geez man,try to understand what you read.anyway this novel really entrtained me it has my favorite character in it and it was well written you learn a lot about bobba fett and dengar.I totally recomend it.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Star Wars -The Mandalorian Armor, Book 1 of 3- (Seafire12)
Review: When I read this book I soon relized that this was just a setup for books to come. Everything is left unexplained. I thought it was interresting how the story jumps around from past to present, but it makes the story somewhat confusing. The characters are a little out of line and Boba Fett talks to much. If you think your questions that are left unanswered in this book are explained in the next one...think again. They aren't explained until the end of the last novel in this confusing series. Even then things are loosly tied up.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Avoid at all cost
Review: Now, let's get this straight, I am a big fan of StarWars and I loved the novels but this one doesn't belong in the StarWars universe. Why you ask? 1 reason. Boba Fett is alive. What the ? He can't be alive, we saw him died in ROTJ. I can't beleive Lucas let this thing pass like it was normal. I'm sorry but this book isn't worth the read. The story is long and there is no point in telling it. SORRY! but avoid it. It's for your own good.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I'm very sorry
Review: It's me again. I have another review down there somewhere. I recently reread this book and realized that there were some mistakes in my review.

first the characters: Bossk-dead on target. He did not die in Prize Pelt. He dug out I think.

Dengar-too wimpy. His character was okay but he wasn't the physical speciman we know from Payback.

4-LOM-his appearance in Hard Merchandise makes him out to be just a little flat. He seems to simply tolerate Zuckess rather than be friends with him. At least Jeter tells us why. (The events of Sahdows of the Empire.)

Zuckess-too stupid, whiny and not intuitive enough. Nothing els to be said.

Boba Fett-close to the target but Crispen, Moran and Montogomery did a better job.

IG-88-Yes he did exist and the character was dead on too. IG-88 was created around I think a year and a half to two years after ANH. The THEN part of this book takes place around two and a half years after ANH. Check Ted Edwards Timeline in the excellent Unarthorized Star Wars Compendium.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Can you say "barve?"
Review: First of all, I nearly gagged from reading the word "barve" on every page. I wonder if the author knows what a thesaurus is...? But I haven't read any of this author's other works, so I can't judge how the book campares to them. Second, I had a hard time keeping the time jumps straight. I found that if I took a day off from reading the book, I had to re-read a bit of the previous chapter in order for it to make sense. Thirdly, I almost fried my brain trying to figure out who was out to get who, and what everyone's motive was, etc. I haven't read Tales of the Bounty Hunters yet, but it seemed like Bossk was an adolescent heading for an anger-management program, and Zuckuss was too dang dense to even be a bounty hunter. From what I've heard, these characterizations are not accurate, based on other Star Wars material. However, I liked the Dengar/Neelah storyline, and I dig Prince Xizor. All in all, it was so-so, but not great.
