Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Boring
Review: This book places too much emphasis on action. It takes a long time to establish a plot at all and to make things worse it ends at a moment in which the master jedi is acting completely out of character.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An enjoyable read-can't wait for the next one
Review: This is a really good story. I am glad to see how the relationship between Obi-Wan and Qui Gon has grown. You can see hints of the relationship you saw in Episode One. You see the understanding and the implicit trust that exists between them.You can see that they care about and respect one another. I am outside the recommended age range for these stories, but I still enjoy reading them very much. I enjoy reading all Star Wars books.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best book in the series, but still fairly good
Review: Well, this book was good, especially since it focused more on the characters and developments of Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon than the last book. The return of Tahl was cool too, since she was a character I liked intantly and I hoped she would be in more of them. But still, I felt something lacking in it, that the previous books seemed to have. Anyway, in this book Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon are back on Coruscant to rest for a while, when they run into a old friend of Qui-Gon's and his daughter. Before they know it, instead of relaxing and meditating at the Jedi Temple, they are caught up in a fast paced murder-mystery and a vengeful female bounty hunter (sooo cool!) who wants Qui-Gon's friend dead. In some ways this book wasn't as interesting as the others, and in other ways it was, for instance, in this book there are plenty of strong females, such as the bounty hunter, Astri, and Tahl. This was especially welcome since many of the previous books lacked these types of characters with the exception of the same stereo-typed ones over and over again. Also, as far as the series itself, it is generaly written for younger readers than myself, (I'm fifteen) though I don't have any problem with them, since the simplified writing style is easily overlookable because of the valuable stories underneath. Any Star Wars fan, even adults would probably enjoy these, as long as they keep this in mind.

Summary: Extremely Exciting! Well worth reading!
Review: When Qui-Gon Jinn takes his apprentice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, to meet a good friend of his, he never realizes adventure awaits him at the corner. His friend Didi, owner of a cafe and an informant, has been attacked by a deadly bounty hunter for no apparent reason! When Qui-Gon promises to protect him and to find out the mystery behind the hunter, he himself and Obi-Wan are turned into the next targets! Can they protect Didi and his daughter Astri and keep themselves alive long enough to solve a puzzling mystery?

"The Deadly Hunter" is the first of three books following one story arc. In my opinion, this is one of my most favorite story lines. There are many reasons for it, because of the exciting adventure, lots of action and fighting, and a terrific mystery that you yourself will have a hard time figuring out. I also love it how Obi-Wan is able to do a lot in the story, plus fight immensely well. But one of the best reasons is because of the bounty hunter. After Xanatos was cut off from the story, I was missing a really 'good' enemy, one worthy of battling weapons and wits against the Jedi team. And the bounty hunter (her name won't revealed till the next book, "The Evil Experiment", so I'm won't spoil it!) is pretty cool. I love her weapon of choice, her deadly whip. Have "The Evil Experiment" and "The Dangerous Rescue" on hand if you want to find out how the story ends!

This series explains a lot about how Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan first meet. Their beginning is far from simple and all smooth-sailings, which would be pretty monotonous if it was. Though the books are said for ages 9-12, like many other reviewers I agree that the Jedi Apprentice Series are for anybody. Extremely well-written, the emotions, thoughts, and feelings of the main characters are very well put down into words. I also like the different array of humans and aliens which are portrayed, both good and bad.

Plust check out the new Jedi Quest series, dealing with the master and apprentice duo of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker. Another Star Wars Series I recommend and like a lot are the Young Jedi Knights series. The stories are about Jacen and Jaina Solo (twins of Han and Leia Solo), and their friends as they journey on the road to becoming Jedi Knights. More on the teenager level of reading. For adult readings, a few selections I enjoy reading are "The Thrawn Trilogy", "Rogue Planet", "The Jedi Academy Trilogy", "The Corellian Trilogy", and "The Truce at Bakura".

Rating: 5 stars
