Summary: I can sum up this book in one word, PERFECT
Review: I have tryed to get Jedi Apprentice #8 for days, and I finalygot the chance. This book was soo butiful, There was sooo much actionand suspence, I dont know how many times I jumped out of my seat, or how many times I yelled at the book, and in some parts I just had to cry it was so sweet. This is the best book so far and I dont know how much more I can prase about this book, you just cant pass this one up if you do you will miss out on the best storys in the glaxies, but you must read all of in order if you want to find the true magic in these books but it is truly worth it. I just hope Jedi Apprentice #9 will come out as soon as possibal.

Review: I must say I'm brand new the Star Wars books with this being the first I read and I must say it was very entertaining started out a little boring but definitely picked up the pace and was non stop til the end.

Summary: Wow!--Again
Review: I must say that this is one of the best series of books I have ever read. I know they are aimed at kids but I love them even though I'm 18. Once I start one I can't stop. They are filled with so many positive messages which I think is a very good thing for kids to read. I love the emotions expressed between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan as they struggle to regain trust with each other. I love the bond they share. It is so touching. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are my favorite characters and I like being able to experience their early adventures. The Day of Reckoning is one of the best and I recommend it for both young and old fans. Thank you George Lucas for such memorable characters and thank you Jude Watson for such memorable adventures.

Summary: "If this isn't a good book, kill me now!"
Review: I thought I would die of suspense. In this one Xanatos, Qui-Gon's former apprentice, (you probably knew that) shows how evil he really is. I mean EVIL. Also, Qui-Gon's feelings for Obi-Wan are shown. Even though they're not Master and Padawan, they begin acting like it again. Although I missed Tahl and TooJay, Den made up for that. Just as funny and action packed as the rest. I still say Jedi Apprentice needs one hundred+ stars!

Summary: well worth the wait
Review: I waited for this one for ages! My mother had to mail it to me since I'm in Australia this semester, but it was well worth the wait. I read the whole thing in about 90 minutes. In this story, the 8th in the Jedi Apprentice series, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon (still not Master and Padawan again) go to the planet Telos, home of Qui's former apprentice, Xanatos. They encounter two friends, one an environmentalist and one a thief, named Andra and Den, who help them to overthrow Xanatos' control of the planet. This book is pretty much non-stop adventure, and I enjoyed it very much. Plus, the last three pages made the book! I won't spoil it for you, you'll have to read it yourself. Now I'm gonna hafta go back to waiting for #9. *sigh*

Summary: desperately and dying for it
Review: I wish the reviewers would say more about the "The Day of Reckoning". You have no idea how long the other country such as Malaysia has to wait for this book. If you all wait for six months, we have to wait for one year! I have to reread Jedi Apprentice 1-6 so many times to maintain the exitement. Believe it or not! Our bookshop don't even have Jedi Apprentice book 7 (the captive temple) yet. So please I beg of the new reviewers, at least a short sypnosis of the new book.

Summary: The Day Reckoning a Story Arc
Review: I've been reading the Jedi Apprentice books to my son (Alex) off and on for the last three years, and he's loved them - and so have I. I still read them to him even though he's getting old enough to read them himself, just so I can have an excuse to read young adult books (yes they are that good). We've followed the early adventures of Qui-Gon Jinn and young Obi-Wan Kenobi and have been enthralled with the ongoing Xanatos conflict (Xanatos is Qui-Gon's former apprentice introduced to us in the second book of the series "Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Dark Rival") . Over the last few book there has been a large story arc concerning Obi-Wan leaving the Jedi order that reaches its conclusion here, and we were happy to see its well thought out end (following a story that long has been a challenging task for my son). However about halfway through this well written epic adventure (as good as any published for adults), I realized that story elements that were set in motion during the very first books (the equally great "Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Rising Force" and the aforementioned "Dark Rival") were now coming to a head. At first I was concerned that my son wouldn't remember all that had come before (in the last 8 books) but just as with Bruck's story in the last book ("Star Wars Jedi Apprentice: The Captive Temple") it came back to him and that speaks volumes about the quality of Jude Watson's writing - that in an age were so much is disposable and easily forgotten, these books have left a lasting impression with my boy. We look forward to breaking the spine of the next book in the series, to see what adventures await Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and if they are anything like what has come before - I know we're in for a treat.

Summary: Worth the Wait!
Review: It seems like we had to wait forever for this book to come out, but it was definetly worth the wait! "The Day of Reckoning" was a bit slow getting started, but the end made up for that! If any of you out there are in a frenzy because of Qui-Gon's cold feelings toward Obi-Wan, this book will set your mind at ease. This book also shows Obi-Wan as more adult in his actions and his thoughts. A great book for any Jedi Apprentice lover! I can't believe that we have to wait until August for the next one!

Summary: Star Wars 8 review
Review: Jude Watson deserves all of the praise that has been heaped upon her for the Jedi Apprentice series. Writing in prose ideal for 7-9 year olds, she nevertheless communicates with adults on levels both subtle and profound. She has masterfully charted the relationship of Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, leading them on a path so believable and so multi-faceted that readers of all ages should be left both moved and impressed. The Day of Reckoning presents both a reconciliation and a growth in the relationship of our two Jedi heroes, as they travel to the planet Telos to track down Qui-Gon's former apprentice, Xanatos. Watson gives us just enough to bring Telos alive and into the Star Wars universe, while also giving us a plot that is interesting if not gripping. The highlight of the book is the final confrontation with Xanatos, as Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan grapple with issues of responsibility for the fall and death of others - issues that Obi-Wan will have to face on his own in another thirty years or so. The Xanatos/Anakin parallels are clear but not overdone, a tasteful preview of what is to come. Day of Reckoning holds its own with the rest of the series, a worthwhile series for anyone who enjoys Star Wars.
