Summary: The Fett Story
Review: I thought that this version of the young jedi knights was very good. I liked how the family had a reunion with at the Jedi Training center. I also think it was kinda unrealistic that Leia, had teh time to go to the train center to see her children for such a long time. (She is the person in charge of the New Republic). I was wondering why teh bounty hunter became so violent at the end. Fett was known for his cunningness, and agilty. I dougt that he would have took off as quickly as he did when Zekk attacked. I don't understand why Han Solo and Chewie were so happy in the end of the story. They were excited to see the children , but I don't think they would be as happy as when they blew up the death star. I liked how the young jedi knights didn't panic in a tough situation. It was cool that they got themselves out of the mess. Overall, I feel taht it was a exciting, though sometimes unrealistic story. ( But, heck, this is science fiction--whatta you expect!

Summary: An excellent start to the second cycle of Young Jedi Knights
Review: I'll admit, this is probably one of the more boring books in the series, but it was still well-written and had good, true-to-life characters. Part of what makes this such a good series is that the same plots are not recycled over and over again, and each book has it's own particular dilemma to solve that all adds up to the intertwining plot of the whole series. In this particular story, Jacen and Jaina go to the Alderaan system to get a small piece of the planet to give to their mother, Leia for her birthday. As you can probably guess, things do not go as planned and they have several adventures along the way which I won't elaborate on for those of you who havn't read it yet. One of the good points of this book, and this whole series actually, is that the kids in them are so nice. They are always polite and respectful and are never cruel and nasty to anyone. And yet, the authors accomplished this so flawlessly that it doesn't make them seem like goody-two-shoes either, since they can be bad sometimes too, it's just pleasant to read that kind of a book sometimes. One of the major flaws in this book, which several people have already mentioned, is that the everyone forgets that it isn't just Leia's birthday, it's Luke's too. I mean, the whole point of the story was that the twins get a present for their mother, and then, even in the ending birthday scene, everyone completely forgets about Luke, including Luke himself it would seem! If what they celebrate is their adoption dates then they at least should have said something about that instead of just ignoring him. I think that would kind of hurt his feelings. Well, at least he got to come to the party. Like I said, this is an excellent book in the series, if you ignore the flaws I just mentioned.

Summary: Not bad for YJK
Review: Normally I don't like this series, but this one wasn't bad. It had its flaws though...like Fett coming back. I mean, how old is he by now? Too old to be bounty hunting if you ask me. And Mijeje from CA already mentioned by second point--Luke and Leia are twins, how come no one's looking for a present for him but just Leia? That was pretty stupid. Also where did they find out when their birthday was? Yoda and Ben were the only ones that would have known, and they're dead! But overall, this book was not bad.

Summary: Star Wars
Review: Recommendation This book takes place in the Tatooine. I would recommend this book for People between the ages of 11-14 because it presents a wide of survival events in Tatooine that were both exciting and intense. A reason that this book was exciting was the things that Jacen and Jaina ran into in space. "Jacen said that this is the best trip to Alderaan because they did something for their mother. Then they went to their mother to give her the rock she said what is this they said a rock from Alderaan. I recommendation this book to people who likes to read Star Wars because if you do not like Star Wars you will not like this book. "Dad," Jaina said. "Jacen and I have been trying to come with just the perfect gift for Mom's birthday. That means that they love their mother a lot "Then Leia said that if Jacen and Jaina don't work together they will not get back." That means that they will not get back at all.

Summary: this book is pretty neat
Review: Shards of Alderaan is a very cool book I caught one flaw in the summary though. The twins and theri friends are looking for a present for their mom, Leia, for her birthday, but there is no one lookin for a present for Luke. Luke and Leia are twins so they have the same birthday

Summary: Hey, what can 'ya do? This is KJA we're talkin' about...
Review: So it wasn't the BEST way to begin a new story arc. Okay, okay, okay, so it was a pretty BAD way to begin a new story arc. But hey. Look who co-wrote this thing. KJA. What can 'ya do? In reference to the previously mentioned "birthday flaw," I have a theory for why this happened. We all know our buddy KJA's rather... well... let's just say NEGATIVE attitute towards Luke. I mean, if you've read KJA's "Jedi Acadamy" Trilogy, y'all know what I'm talkin' about. He made the poor guy a total wussie there. So I don't know why any of you people actually EXPECTED KJA to remember that Luke and Leia are twins and therefore that they should share the same birthday. Pity, too. I was hoping that he would actually have a bit of heart an' acknowledge that for once... but it never turned up. And you wonder why Luke's so darn depressed all the time...

Summary: A TRILLON LIGHTSABERS UP!
Review: The story starts out with the Jedi Knights clearing and rebulding the Great Temple after the attack by the Shadow Acadamy ( who were defeated by the way ). Zeek is starting is come back from the Dark Side of the Force, with the twins help. Han Solo arrives on Yavin 4 to bring Anakin to his studies and to tell Raynar Thul that his father has disippered. Also Leia Organa Solo's birthday is coming up and the twins decide to go to the Allderann System to get a shard of the planet of Allderann that was blown up 15 years ago. But on thier way, the twins encounter Buba Fett, the most feared bounty hunter in the galaxy. You can read the rest, because I've probably told to much. Go and buy it today!

Summary: IT WAS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: This book was absolutely awesome! I especially liked the part when they used their lightsabres to chisel through the asteroid. Also, I wonder why Tenel Ka's grandmother installed an illegal piece of equipment in her ship? Personally, my favourite character is Anakin.
