Summary: It's not the best but it IS good!!
Review: I haveread this book 3 times and I still think it is a GOOD book. I do not know why you guys think it is a bad book. I liked it a lot. The romance was all right and so was the action!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Please help us Timothy Zahn, you're our only hope!!
Review: Please ask Barbara Hambley to quit writing SW books. The Courtship of Princess Leia and all of Timothy Zahn's books are the best.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Blah!! Run...run as fast as you can....away from this book!
Review: I must say Children of the Jedi was definitely one of the worst books I ever read. The whole book is one giant confusing mess, with poorly developed characters and a really sad plot (sad as in pathetic!). Hambly should take somw advice from Zahn, Anderson, and Crispin. WHY? Because they can WRITE! The other really bad book was Planet of Twilight...written by Hambly also. Am I seeing a pattern here? Where is the zero star rating when you need it?

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It was okay.....
Review: this book was ok. i have read better books. in the beginning, i had to literally FORCE myself to read it. i meam, i was soooo excited to be reading a SW book and in the beginning it was sooo boring. it was also hard to follow and confusing. the middle and end were pretty good. the book got better as you read it. the end plot had a good twist. once you got to the end the plot kept twisting and i was very surprised. i liked Callista a lot though. i really liked the fact that the all powerful Luke could fall in love. it was sweet. this book was ok but i dont recommend it to people who are looking for a really good book to curl up with.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I'm glad I borrowed this book...
Review: ...instead of buying it. Mission Impossible was easier to follow. I liked the way it started out, but then it just turned into this confusing mess. I think this book actually lowered my IQ. Barbara Hambly almost made me hate this entire book series, and I can't believe they let her write another one! By the way, I think I can do without reading Planet of Twilight and keep what's left of my sanity. If you'll excuse me, I need to read some Timothy Zahn now.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great book for any true Star Wars Fan
Review: Well in this book the people are split into two groups, one group is Luke and C-3PO, and a jedi and her dead husband whose was put into an android(a very realistic one) , on board a camoflaged battleship. It is a little confusing at first but this is when you need to know you different star wars species.

The second group is leia, Han, chewbacca, and r2d2, who end up looking for an old jedi training ground. But they also find one of the 1****** 2******** and the 1******'s son, who through a scientist and 2******, was able to learn how to manipulate mechanics(like robots and ships).

The Leia plot, I feel, was good in idea, but just should have been more thought through.

The Luke part was full of action, suspence, mystery, and an ever growing romance between 3******* and luke, and also between the jedi lady and her dead husband in the machine.

I was only reading the Leia part to get to the next Luke part. In this book, you realize how helpless leia relly can be, especially against other jedi.

Also in this book you get to see how great of a fighter, thinker, and lover Luke is.

In all this book was great, but agian, you need to know your star wars species.

Summary: It was a pretty good book....
Review: When I read this book the suspense was a very nice touch. I personally love the character Luke and when he got hurt and still thought of others I was touched. Leia was okay in this book. So was Han. I think this book is worth reading, if you like reading star wars! Enjoy

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Words cannot describe...
Review: This is by far the WORST book I have ever read. I tried so hard to get through it but it was impossible! Once those retarded plant people (what was up with that?) showed up I couldn't take it. I didn't think it was possible to make me annoyed with Star Wars, but Barbara Hambly did it. She should do Star Wars fans everywhere a favor and STAY AWAY FROM STAR WARS!!! YOU'RE KILLING IT, FOR GOD'S SAKE!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Slow, confusing, poor character development
Review: I didn't think it was possible to make me hate any star wars character, especially Luke(my fav)--but this novel proved me wrong. I literally dragged myself through it. It was boring, and the characters lacked any of the humor and charisma that made us love them in the first place. For shame Ms. Hambly!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: STUPID book!!!
Review: This book was SOOOO boring! There was too much description of everything. Some "sentences" were half a page long!

COTJ just isn't Star Wars quality. There are much better books out by Kevin J. Anderson and A.C. Crispin!! I would recommend them instead.
