I, Jedi : Star Wars

Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Review: This is THE Best book ever written! Michael A. Stackpole is the best writer of Star Wars books. Even though this book is in first person, unlike all other Star Wars books, it's really good. It's interesting and you can read it over and over again. If your an X-wing books lover than you should get this book. Terrific!

Summary: So far, so good.
Review: I'm about halfway through, and other issues aside, let me tell you I'm grateful for the first-person narrative. Its keeps the writing from getting choppy, which tends to happen in some of the other Star Wars books as you bounce through the galaxy with your various characters. Shadows of the Empire handled it well, as did the Phantom Menace novelization, but others I have read have not. Thank goodness for clean, consistent writing. A real joy.

Summary: Good book . Well worth reading
Review: Gave a great insight in other jedi traditions and the founding of the jedi academy. Answered a few questions about the colour of jedi lightsabers particularly considering the hero of the novel has a lightsaber with a silver blade.

Rating:
Summary: Stackpole's best
Review: Michael A. Stackpole is a very gifted writer. I have read his Rogue Squadron series and I thought they were very good, but they're nothing compared to this book. He writes it from a 1st person standpoint, instead of trying to concentrate on many characters at once and jumping around through multiple scenes. You get to know about this one character very thoroughly instead of being introduced to upwards of 20 different people. This is one of the best books I ever read.

Rating:
Summary: Unique and Excellent
Review: This is a unique book to say the least unlike most Star Wars novels this is only from one person's view. There is no long and sometimes boring Imperial plots laid out in a 20 page chapter. If anyone liked Kevin Anderson's story of the Jedi Academy Trilogy, then I Jedi should be the next for you to read. I Jedi gives a new view to the first weeks of the Academy and awnsers many questions left by Anderson.

Summary: Extremely good sci-fi.
Review: The book itself is great. In my copy there were about 15-20 misspelled words, but that didn't effect the book. My one problem is actually with the cover. In the lower-right-hand-corner the X-wing is missing its upper-right laser. It is also the same on every other paperback copy I have seen, even the ones pictured on this site and others. I just wish that there would be a sequal to it with a continuation of Corrans training.

Summary: the other Mike Stackpole in action...
Review: There seem to be two different kinds of authors in sci-fi. One is the series author whose books are "book two of six", etc. That type of author faces a dilemma--he doesn't dare make one book out of the series really shine or the others will pale by comaparison. Then there's the author who knows this one story is IT for this time--the next time he hits the stands, it'll be a whole different story, so he's free to work this one for all it's got. Until this book, I was used to Stackpole as the series author. But here, he's got a whole 'nother thing goin'. We know Corran Horn as a supporting player in the X-Wing books--typical Corellian, affable cynicism and all. But now somebody's abducted his wife; gutsy and independent Mirax Terrik (You'd think that a Corellian would avoid such women like the plague, but remember his countryman Han Solo?). So Corran has to pay some dues at Luke Skywalker's academy to hone some latent Jedi skills. But Correlians are way too individualistic to be good material for the almost-religious Jedi discipline, remember? It makes for a personal, in-depth story of the sort that usually isn't possible in series novels. But Stackpole brings it off in a style we're usually accustomed to from Tom Clancy. Here's hoping this isn't the last non-numbered Mike Stackpole book.

Summary: Other than Zahn, books don't get much better than this!!!
Review: Micheal my man, you've done it again!!!! When you think of Corran Horn as a Special Operations officer, ace X-wing pilot, and dude with a hot wife, you think this gut can't get any cooler. Then Stackpole finds a way, make him a Jedi Knight! Perfect use of characters, (both old and new) blending into the Jedi academy trilogy, and pulse-pounding action makes this one of the coolest books to read in the Star Wars novels. I suggest that you read the other X-wing books before it though, otherwise you may get a bit confused. Other than that, this book rocks!!! BRAVO STACKPOLE!!!!

Summary: I found Corran Horn very annoying in this book.
Review: What is with this book? The author made Corran Horn to be some omniscient being. He seems to know everything and treats all the other characters like nothing. It's extremely annoying. I knew the book was about Corran Horn, but I didn't expect the author to make the rest of the other characters look so bad. Especially Luke Skywalker. He didn't seem like a Jedi Master in the book, but just some out of place loser. During the book, Corran just seemed to have all the answers for everything. I dont want to read a book about a know-it-all. They didn't need him in the trilogy by Kevin J. Anderson, why do they need him now? This book would have been much better, if it weren't for the fact that Corran Horn is so annoying. If for some reason you're in love with Corran Horn, then buy the book. It is very well written, except I hated the way he made Corran so great.
