Rating: Summary: Death Comes to Eveyone, But I Didn't Expect This Review: Truly, this is a great book. However, as you may have guessed, CERASI DIES. WHY HER? That stupid fool Nield should've died!!!!! I always ask myself: "Why do my favourite characters have to die!?". Maybe it's God's way of toying with me, I dunno. You've probably guessed why I've only rated this book 4 out of 5 by now. Anyways, I guess I really just want to say: "MAY CERASI'S SOUL BE ONE WITH THE FORCE!!!!"
Rating: Summary: The Uncertain Path Review: An extremely terrifying and intense book in the Jedi Apprentice series, The Uncertain Path is highly unique and it is by far my favorite book in the series. Extraordinarily written, it is sure never to make readers put it down. Obi Wan has left the Jedi. He is now part of a revolution with his friends to make peace on Melida/Daan, the planet he resides on. His Master Qui Gon Jinn could never feel more betrayed and simply tries to forget his apprentice, Obi Wan. The pain of broken bonds is shattering. Both of them are gravely torn, yet both are trying to strengthen themselves and forget one another. But when Melida/Daan is thrown into an enormous war, the pain is becoming even more hard to bear as Obi Wan watches his dreams being torn apart and Qui Gonn finds trouble back on Coruscant. The two may never see each other again -- and as hatred and pain tear apart everything, both of their paths grow more uncertain by the moment. This was a fantastic addition to the series, and each chapter is astonishing. Jedi Apprentice soars on with The Uncertain Path, a book that many will find as a favorite in the series, besides being a definite classic.
Rating: Summary: Who could put this book down?! Review: I love this book! The crisis on Melida/Daan that sweeps young Obi-Wan into uncertainty and the mystery of the intruder at the Jedi temple had me on the edge of my seat. If books could get someone high, these could do it! A death of an old friend (Obi-Wan's "girlfriend") had me near tears. And the rejection that Obi-Wan was given from the Jedi made me upset, but he had disobeyed his master. The silence between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan made me shudder, but I expect all hard feelings will end in book #7. I have read tons of Jude Watson! She (or he?)is a great writer! I can't wait to read #7!
Rating: Summary: They just keep getting better and better! Review: Before this series I had read just about all the kiddy Star Wars books, and I was just about to move on to the adult ones when I came across these. At first I decided to ignore them, since Episode 1 is pretty far down on my list of favorite Star Wars movies, but I decided to give them a try anyway. Boy, am I glad that I did! They are truly awesome, far better than I could have even imagined! Though they are geared toward younger readers than myself (I'm 15) the tone is not at all condesending, and the writing and discriptions are excellent. The characters themselves seem to come alive and the story is very real and intense and even heartbreaking at times. The author crafts each character with care and expertise, and this series brings out far more in Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon than Episode 1 did, and it also gives us new insights as to what exactly Obi-Wan went through to become Qui-Gon's Padawan, and how truly heartbreaking it must have been for him when Qui-Gon is killed at the end of Episode 1. Anyway, for a brief summery, Obi-Wan, having left the Jedi to fight for peace on Melida/Daan, begins to develop a very close knit relationship with the two young leaders of the revolt, Cerasi and Nield. As they struggle to form a new government, Qui-Gon and his friend Tahl, back on Coruscant, are working to discover who might be the culprit of strange thefts that have been happening at the Jedi Temple. This book in particular is very sad and intense, as Obi-Wan sruggles with the fact that though he would like the Jedi to take him back, he knows how deeply he hurt Qui-Gon and that HE will never take him back. And we can see how Qui-Gon is struggling in turn to keep his mind on the problems at the Temple, though he truly feels bad for Obi-Wan when tragedy strikes. I thought in particular that Qui-Gon was portrayed wonderfully, since this book made him seem like an ordinary person on the inside, dispite the fact that he is a Jedi Master. Tahl is also an awesome character, and I truly wish we could have seen some of her before she was blinded so we could see what a great warrior she was. Well, I have no doubt that she can overcome this handicap and go on with life, much as Tenel Ka did after the loss of her arm in Young Jedi Knights, if anyone else has read those. Anyway, I would recommend this series to any Star Wars fan, especially those interested in finding out what happened before Episode 1.
Rating: Summary: The Uncertain Path Review: I have read other reviews, and some people totally give the book away, others don't give anything away. So I am going to say this:If you haven't brought this book then this is a safe review to read! This book was very good. I believe it was right of Obi-Wan to do what he did, even though other people thought it was wrong. Obi-Wan helped and that was the right thing to do. So he stays and helps out, as he always does. Meanwhile, Qui-Gon Jinn goes back to the Temple with Tahl. Unforchunately, something happens to Tahl but I won't say what. (You'll have to read the book). And there are some trouble stirring inside the Temple that will just make you realize that you HAVE to buy book 7! May the Force be with you.
Rating: Summary: Keeps the jedi ball rolling...... Review: Man, this book was good.This is the first book(not counting book 1) where obi won is mad or has any sort of turmoil with qui gon.After almost fighting his former master,He finds himself on the planet of Melida/Daan.a planet at civil war.He is no longer a jedi, and no longer has a lightsaber,and he questions if it was worth it.The friends he betrayed qu gon to protect start going against him, and slowly he discovers how stupid it was to stay on the planet.It starts of where the last book left you hanging.Although this isnt the best installment in the apprentice series(im currently in the middle of 8, man that ones awesome!)it's not bad at all, has some good lessons, and continues providing insight on obi wans training.This really is a good book, hey, would a guy named darthbrad lie to you?
Rating: Summary: Great parts, others are kind of repeats Review: This is a good book in some parts, but in the Obi-Wan parts you get the feeling of "been there, done that." The parts back with Qui-Gon are very good, and buying this book is no mistake. The temple is so well put together with the situation, and the end is garunteed to be suspenseful to even the most dull reader! Read or buy this book, whichever!
Rating: Summary: Depressing... Review: Ugh. This is one of those books that takes you to the highest high and the lowest low. I hate to use the cliché, but you'll feel like you're being dragged along behind the last car in a violent roller-coaster, hitting each bar of the track as you go. You think everything will resolve, and then BOOM! Another tragedy hits like a new single from the Backstreet Boys. Which reminds me, I have to send a formal request to the Jedi Temple to have a few, um, problems eliminated...
Rating: Summary: Great Just Great Review: This book is one of the best out of all 8 that are out. I can't wait for #9. This book got me in tears and I'm a boy! I do think that they are way to short. But it's still good! It's so good it can't be said in words!
Rating: Summary: Just As Great As All the Others! Review: This book is just as good as all the other books in the series. Obi-Wan decides to stay on the planet Melida/Daan with his new friends, while Qui-Gon, his Master goes back to Coruscant. This book is absolutely great, just like all the other Jedi Apprentice books. Jude Watson is a wonderful writer! I like to read about Obi-Wan Kenobi (mainly because he's Ewan McGregor). Obi-Wan's adventures with his Master are very exciting, so don't waste time! Order the book!
