Summary: So bad, it was painful
Review: This could be one of the worst books in the SW Universe. The plotline tries to be complicated and interesting, but it continues falling in a very deep pit, and the author does not know how to bring it back. While the author tries to give you some insight on the characters what he really does are boring and endless introspectives, that even make you hate some characters since they are so dull and boring. The plot pace gets stuck from time to time and I found myself rereading some paragraphs as Jeter made them extremely complicated and so boring that my attention wandered away. Just one more thing, I am not saying that the author has to read EVERY Star Wars book, but he should have had the consideration of keeping some characters as they were developed in previous masterpieces, not putting them as dumbfools just to uplift his own, newly-introduced, puny feeble bantha-fodder characters. There are a lot of SW books out there, and I bet 90% of them are better than this yarn, so better spend your money in something else.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Somewhat confused
Review: I thought the book was fairly good. The story line revolving around Boba Fett and the other characters was great. They are some of the most intriguing people in the star wars universe. My biggest complaint is the other bounty hunters in this story were portrayed as such wimps. Definately not the impressions you get from Tales of the Bounty Hunters. I found the portrayals of Dengar and Zuckuss especially bad. Overall it's worth reading.

Rating: 1 stars
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.
