Summary: Boba Fett
Review: This book was cool because it went into more detail from Star Wars Episode 2. Boba Fett is a cool ten-year-old kid who lives on his fathers honor and try's to find Count Tyranus and becomes a bounty hunter.

Summary: What would Freud have to say?
Review: This is a pretty decent book that coordinates very well with Star Wars Episode II and its novelization and makes me look forward to more books in the series and to Episode III (thumbs up on the cameos at the end of the book). Boba Fett, as the boy without a mother, stands in contrast to Anakin Skywalker, the boy without a father. You have to wonder how Sigmund Freud would analyze Boba Fett when he doesn't have a mother around to screw him up. Apparently it means he learns bounty hunting techniques and that you should never trust anyone. We also find out that Jango Fett is much like many fathers in our own society who are gone most of the time but still leave their sons a legacy once they are gone for good. And it is interesting to find out that young Boba Fett was an avid reader and library patron. Who would've guessed?

Summary: The Clone Wars continue with Boba in the middle of it!
Review: This is the 2nd book of a trilogy about the 10 year old Boba Fett set 1 month after the battle of Geonosis. On the current timeline as of April 2003 this is also the 3rd of 11 existing or planned stories about the Clone Wars that start with Episode 2. Crossfire does contribute to the story evolving in the Prequel Era and ties in well with the movies, other books and the Dark horse comics. Aurra sing has brought Boba to Count Dooku on Raxus Prime. Boba discovers that they are drilling for a force device. They Jedi lead troops arrive leading to the title of the book CROSSFIRE. Completist like me wish to read this book because it does offer some substance. These books are said to be written for 9 to 12 years, but the same is said of the Jedi Quest series. The Jedi Quest books are much better. But if one want to know about young Boba Fett, this is where it can be found. I see most reviews award 4 or 5 stars. Others are free to say that this should be ranked among the very best books ever written. For me, I award 4 stars for books that are above average and 5 stars rarely. I find it difficult to give this modest yet entertaining book anything except a grade of FAIR or 2 stars. Seems that 5 stars are for Moby Dick or Wraith Squadron or Courtship of Princess Leia. Darkhorse is also doing Clone Wars comics. They are well done and worth a look. The entire prequel era was well thought out and I am enjoying the books and comics, and now the cartoon shows.

Summary: Boba Fett
Review: THis is the first book in an all new series explaining how Boba Fett became the best bounty hunter ever! The book starts in Star Wars Episode II, but tells the story from Boba Fett's point of view. When his father dies, he takes his father's helmet, ship, and guide to life. Boba first searches for his father's former employer, Count Dooku. I don't want to ruin the ending. All I can say is that the book ends in a cliffhanger. You'll want to get the next book in the series, Crossfire. It's just as good as this one was.

Summary: Explore the knew characters you never thought existed in SW.
Review: This is the second installment to the SW Boba Fett trilogy. (well, saga, a fourth book is coming out) Most people who really appreciate SW really love these books but if you only like SW because the movies are cool you'll like this, or these books but you won't APPRICIATE these books. These books tell about Boba Fett (the bounty hunter) as a young boy, in this book he must escape Count Dooku and the Jedi. I must say I really liked the first book but this one is a very interesting book. The characters in this book are the ones you do not see in the movies. Aurra Sing (the bounty hunter) is only in a little part of Episode 1 but she doesn't even talk, it's just a glimpse of her looking down on the pod race, many other Jedi and diferrentother characters.

Summary: Fine example of Star Wars literature for kids
Review: Though I'm a bit over the recommend age for these books, being a true Star Wars fanatic, I had to read it anyway. Man, am I glad I did! The book was truly great, balancing action, with plot, with character development flawlessly! Young Boba Fett is an excellently defined character, and the author was so good that it wasn't uncomfortable at all following someone so young. I could easily identify with him. The story follows him from Episode 2 onward, and it begins on Kamino, Boba's home planet. Boba has no friends, no mother, and has never been to school, and there is little to do on his miserable, rainy, world except read, especially when his father and Zam are off on their frequent adventures. However, when a mysterious Jedi shows up at their door, everything changes for Boba, fast. Anyway, I recommend this book to any Star Wars fan with an open mind, young or old.
