Summary: I hate this book so much I'm posting a second review.
Review: This book is tripe, and I'm in disbelief at the constant praises it's been receiving. Badly written, with boring villains, weak ending, weak characters, weak Luke, absence of Han and Leia, and a Super-Corran (funny, he isn't even mentioned at all in the Jedi Academy Trilogy) all combine to make this one of the lousiest books I've ever read. And to the viewer who criticized my earlier review, TESB had FAR more action than this trash, and the focus of TPM wasn't on Anakin; it was on Qui-Gon. DUH! Even The Crystal Star is better (MUCH) than this.

Summary: I, Jedi
Review: After reading Stackpole's Battletech books (and loving them), I was thrilled to find out that he was a Star Wars writer as well. So away I read and I felt like the characters especially Corran Horn had become my best friend, but I had so many questions left unanswered by the X-Wing series that I found myself begging for more. And here was the answer I prayed for. With his classic style, Corran's life was becoming more complete with every page. What can I say but that Michael Stackpole, the genius, has done it again!

Summary: I, Jedi
Review: This is a greeat book, one of Stackpole's best. We learn more about the life of Corran Horn as he learns to use his Jedi abilities to save his wife. If you've read the Jedi Academy Trilogy, this is a great book to read as it connects with the other three books.

Review: I loved this book. If you are into all that Jedi stuff you will like this. It gives a new insight of what it means to be a Jedi.

Summary: In-depth
Review: /I, Jedi/ gets a little deeper into Corran Horn's personality. Stackpole goes further off the beaten path of his previous Star Wars novels (the X-Wing - Rouge Squadron series) by delving into Corran's history, and the history of his father. True, the hard-core, hot-blooded fighter-jock machismo is a little cliche, but all in all the story explores further than Stackpole has in a while, moving awat from the repetitive space battle scene and into the characters' minds. A good read.

Summary: "I, Jedi", is simply magnificent.
Review: This is probably the best Star Wars book I've read to date. It is filled with intriguing drama, and it also packs allot of action. I love the way the book gives indepth insite into the ways of the Jedi.

Summary: I, Jedi
Review: I think that I, Jedi is probably the best of all the Star Wars books that I have read to date. Michael Stackpole is able to impart a sense of wonder into his character, Corran Horn, while still making him very human. That is not an easy task to do for some writers. I wish that there were more books about the Jedi along the line of I, Jedi. Part of being a Jedi is the discovery of oneself and abilities, as well as what is possible through the use of the force. The dialogue is sharp and pointed toward moving the plot along at a steady pace. At the same time it is intelligent, the action is fast and the book zips along like an X-Wing through hyperspace. Very few of the Rogue Squadron characters show up in the story, however, this does not detract from the strength of the book in any way. On the whole, a very good, highly enjoyable, leave you smiling for no apparent reason book!

Summary: Not worth the journey
Review: Tepid at best, boring at its worst, "I, Jedi" managed to turn the exciting world of the Star Wars universe into a dull plod through the day to day life of a Jedi hopeful. It featured a romantic separation that didn't capture any of the angst, ho-hum battles, and even a sophomoric morality lesson about sex. This book had none of the passion that made other S.W. books great, nor did I care about any of the characters in this installment. Although this book didn't sink to the level of the abysmal "Courtship of Princess Leia", it was lackluster and at times tiresome reading. My advice is to avoid "I, Jedi" and re-read one of the S.W. books by Timothy Zahn or Kevin Anderson instead.
