Summary: It was good and interesting and I liked to read it.
Review: It was a good book. Iwas interested all the way through it. I liked the end the last little battel between the people frome the Maw Installation and the people from Kessel and t Han, Chewie, Luke, Kyp, Lando, and Artoo-Detoo. Other parts were good to, like the day I finised it I read like 80 Pages cause couldent but it down. Ones again its a great book

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: YYEEEEAAAAHHHHH, BABY!!!!!!
Review: A wonderful Star Wars book, imaginative, without all of that high-tech stuff that sometimes you can't understand. It has some high-techness, but overall it's a great book! I loved the characters and the Sun Crusher was awesome! He weaves a fantastic plot, and I also recommend the other books in this fantastic trilogy. And Some of the most exciting parts are about the spice mines and the Sun Crusher! I love the part when Lando and Luke go to Moruth Doole! That is the coolest part! I seriously recommend this book to anybody who loves a good science -fiction.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best Star Wars book ever written to date
Review: I, like many others on this world, am a Star Wars fanatic. I collect merchandise, memorize the movies, and, of course, read the books. Of all the Star Wars books I have read, more that 30 to date, I believe that Kevin J. Andersons' Jedi Search and its adjoining series are the best Star Wars Books I have ever read. I strongly recomend this book, along with the other two in its series, to any lover of science fiction and Star Wars.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Read The Other Two in The Trilogy First!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: With a two star rating you can tell that this book is a rip. Another Superweapon? In the other two in KJA's Trilogy There is a little action. I mean the whole story practicaly takes place in the spice mines of Kessel. What could be more boring. I you want good steady reading try "Dark Apprentice" or "Champions of the force."

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good, but no where near Timothy Zahn's Work
Review: Jedi Search was the first Star Wars novel I read. When I finished, I was very pleased with the outcome. However, when I read others such as Heir to the Empire and The Truce at Bakura, I considered Jedi search not as good as the others. A pleasent read, but only if you havn't read Zahn's trilogy because the 2 aren't even on the same scale for comparison.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: May this book rot in the jungles of Yavin...
Review: Words cannot describe what a let-down this whole series is. I can't wait until the whole plot line (if you can call it a plot) fades from my memory, because right now it is putting a big damper on the magic of the Star Wars universe. The characters were ridiculous. KJA failed miserably at portraying George Lucas' AND Timothy Zahn's characters. Plus, the new characters that Anderson creates are so silly that I felt like I was reading a Mad magazine instead of a Star Wars novel. And Mr. Anderson PLEASE!!!!! STOP WITH THE SUPERWEAPONS!!!!

Overall, the book was unimaginative, cliched, dreary and predictable. I'm not saying that KJA is a bad author. I have never read any of his other novels so I don't know what they are like. What I am saying is that KJA does NOT do justice to the Star Wars universe. If you're looking for an author that DOES get it right, try out anything by Timothy Zahn.

If I could give it less than 1 star, I would.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best Star Wars novels to date
Review: When I read this book, I just couldn't put it down. Kevin captured the exitement and drama that big brother George Did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: IT was awsome!!!
Review: Admirial Daala wasn't good at thinking quick because she lost to mucn to quickly. Kyp durron was a really cool character. I think Kevin J. Anderson is one of the best authors of Star Wars books. I would recomend it to anyone.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A good book, despite what other people say!
Review: A very intruiging read, a lot of people think it's lame but we all think it's one of the best STAR WARS novels ever written.

Ok, it does have its bad points. Firstly Daala is not much of a super tactician, she loses basically all of her "super" star destroyer fleet with plain bad planning. NOT much of a super baddie is she?

Well i gave this book four stars because i like the writing style, and it got me hooked to reading it. Its not as good as Timothy Zahn's novels but still a good read for any STAR WARS fan.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Execrable. Mister Anderson deserves plentiful correction.
Review: Don't read this book. If you have, my sympathies be with you, poor soul of the SW backwaters. If you have, here are some ideas for consideration. They may not be professional but they are better than Anderson's own attempts:

Admiral Daala...rename to Lewinsky. Sun Crusher...a large phallic substitute which Han Solo and Kyp 'ride' out. Kyp...prepubescent Jedi yuppy-pup. Maw Installation...a lonely outpost between three black holes (and incidentally the location of this novel, where it ought to have been left for eternity).
