Summary: A poor attempt... several of them actually
Review: Out of all the SW books I've read, Bounty Hunters was the saddest attempt I've ever seen. The only story I found worth reading was IG-88's. It's story seems plausible with the rest of the SW Universe. Bossk was too intelligent, too crafty than what other books had made him out to be. Also, his ship was made to be the most technologically advanced ship around. Dengar was at first made to superhuman in his abilities, a juggernaut, and when love hits him in the head he becomes a bumbling oaf. Zuckuss and 4-Lom was entertaining, and did give some insight into Gands and Findsman. The worst story was Boba Fett's, where he's made to be a former stormtrooper, a cop who was exiled from his world, and altogether too emotional and human from the character he's famous for. Buy this book only if you want to add to your collection of SW novels, otherwise pass it up.

Summary: A must for Boba Fett fans
Review: I baught this book just for the Boba Fett story. I even read it first. I love reading how charicters come to be. I found the other stories good and found it hard to put the book down at times. My favorite was the Boba Fett story. I am new to Star Wars books and found the detail of blood and guts entertaining.

Summary: Fett Fett Fett Fett Fett Fett!!!!!!!
Review: An excellent collection of stories dealing with the actions of the bounty hunters from Empire Strikes Back. My favorite has to be the one dealing with the origins of IG-88 and Boba Fett. The others are slightly less convincing but none the less enjoyable. They stand on their own and you don't even have to be a Star Wars fan to enjoy them.

Summary: Horrible
Review: This book is HORRIBLE, absolutely AWFUL. I liked the other Star Wars books, but this one is very hit and miss, with few, if any, redeeming qualities. Avoid it.

Summary: Good book, though not the greatest.
Review: This book follows the excellent tradition of Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina, as it tells the individual stories of several of the bounty hunters who have haunted the galaxy so long. Though I wish the stories had been a little shorter and that there had been more of them, it was in general a good, well organized, and highly enjoyable book, with stories written by talented authors. They are:Therefor I am: The Tale of IG-88, an interesting story that tells of how IG-88 was activated, and follows several of his adventures, all the while exploring what it might be to be a droid. Payback: The Tale of Dengar, a surprisingly heartwarming story that finally explains why Dengar hates Han so much, and his feeling as he slowly overcomes his hatred and learns to love again. The Prize Pelt: The Tale of Bossk, not so much about Bossk as about two of his "prey", still a good story, with well developed characters that are easy to understand. Of Possible Futures: The Tale of Zuckass and 4-LOM, one of the more boring stories, still good though, very pleasing ending. The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett, possibly the best story in the book, it spans a number of years, ranging from when Fett himself was a young man, to some fifteen years after Return of the Jedi. Major cliffhanger ending! Anyway, while they are long I would say this book is definitely worth the effort, especially the last one!

Summary: A must must MUST read.
Review: I was terrified to read this book. Here was my favorite Star Wars character, the mysterious Boba Fett, put in the spotlight in his own tale from his perspective with his thoughts and his motivations and it could have so easily collapsed into mortifying, humiliating ruin. To my utmost relief, I adored his story. Padded by two or three other excellent stories, I might add, but I should like to focus on his after reading so many unfavorable reviews of it. He is not cruel and hateful and mean, as I read him in another Star Wars book-that would set him up as nothing but a bully, and we couldn't love him then-but with his own dark sense of justice and morality that he will follow till death and-trust me on this-it fits him like a glove. In terms of writing the story is eminently good, with Boba Fett never deserting his character type. The ending does halt abruptly and leave you hanging in the worst way, but I like to think it is the author realizing that the beloved Boba Fett, the dark, mysterious, wonderful Boba Fett, does not belong to any one author, and his final destiny should be left in the hands of the respectful fans, who will know where to place him best.

Summary: Surprisingly excellent stories from unusual perspectives
Review: ven with its abundance of writing talent, Tales of the Bounty Hunters is not for everybody. Science fiction purists may shy away from the book because it is a media tie-in. But as franchised, media-tied fiction goes, these stories are quite good. If you just can't get enough of the uber-literary Gene Wolfe, and you think even Greg Bear is a sell-out for writing the sequel to "Episode 1: The Phantom Menace," then you will probably not want to read Tales of the Bounty Hunters, and you're probably not even reading this review. But the average reader, who appreciates a range of science fiction that includes popular as well as purely literary, may like this book. Obviously there is popular appeal to Tales of the Bounty Hunters, and, to be honest, the stories don't necessarily break any revolutionary new ground in terms of its concepts. This isn't landmark sf the likes of Starship Troopers or Ringworld. But this is extremely competent and worthwhile sf which shouldn't disappoint a reader already interested in the book's premise or who follows any of these particular writers. The stories are fun and interesting on their own merits and also because they provide alternate views of the very familiar Star Wars storylines (similar to how Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game is parallel to Ender's Shadow). These tales are also surprisingly thoughtful, and, in the hands of some very character-oriented writers, the bounty hunters themselves are very human, and in some cases very alien as well.

Summary: Interesting stories about everyone's favorite mercenaries.
Review: First of all, I don't know why everyone disapproves of the IG-88 story. I thought it was pretty cool, and remember, YOU DON'T HAVE TO BELIEVE IT! I mean, a lot of Star Wars fans think that Boba Fett's ending and revival were kinda dumb, so they choose to ignore it. Kinda like Battlestar Galactica fans tend to ignore Galactica: 1980 as part of the storyline because it was so goofy. Well, do the same thing with IG-88. Read it and decide for yourself. As for the rest, Zuckuss and 4-LOM are a great team with a very original background that makes me wish they'd get a comic mini-series. Dengar is cool, and has ties to one of the greatest Star Wars heroes, but I'm not saying who. Bossk is very cool and is definitely one of the most intelligent lizards in the universe. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much. If you don't agree with the visions of some of the writers, just remember, it's not real.

Summary: Drawback for Boba Fett fans
Review: First of all Bounty Hunters are "our kind of scum." Mainly because they're anti-heroes without scruples and moral. The only thing that compute is hard merchandise and credits. There is a certain charm about such mannerisms when done properly. We therefore had great expectations about such things as "The last one standing : the tale of Boba Fett." This was the weak spot in the book. The story was kind of diffusing and inconsequential and lacked a good ending. The following is a short review of the rest of the "tales" in the book: "Therefore I Am : The Tale of IG-88." We always thought that there were only one IG-88, but in fact there was suddenly four IG units. Boba Fett makes a cameo appearance in this tale that will delight fans of this most populare cult figure in the whole Star Wars universe. We found IG-88 intentions to be most dubious and unrealistic. As the story proceeds IG-88 become more and more megalomaniac and ends his days as the main computer in the Deathstar, which is destoyed at the battle of Endor. "Payback : The Tale of Dengar." We can already now tell you that this is by far the best tale in the whole book. Dengar is a Class A Imperial assassin bred to kill. But we discovered a human side of him that was most appealing and we find Dengar's motives in this story believable. This should put Dengar right up there with cult figures like Boba Fett amongst others. "The Prize Pelt : The Tale of Bossk." Bossk is a dislikable creature at the best of times, and Kathy Tyers didn't put in any effort to make him otherwise...but didn't she go a bit out of her way to make this notorious Bounty Hunter especially replusive? We certainly felt so, and Bossk's character suffered from it. This was the second best tale in the book after "The Tale of Dengar." "Of Possible Futures : The Tale of Zuckuss and 4-LOM." These two remarkable fellows team up for an unlikely partnership and of all possible futures joins the rebellion! Make of it as you wish, we certainly did. "Last One Standing : The Tale of Boba Fett" This story was a huge disappointment, and the definite drawback of the book. All in all the book's a good buy and worth the attention of all Star Wars fans wich we know are mulitude world over.

Summary: This one was worth reading.
Review: This is a book that is well worth reading as long as you aren't expecting a book that is good as the previous ones. Most of the stories aren't half bad, though they don't interweave the way the ones in the Cantina, or Jabba's Palace did. Bossk's tale was one of the more interesting ones, but a dissappointing ending prevents it from being something better. The other stories usually have somthing that keeps them from being great, and take a much longer time to read than the ones in the previous books. I would recommend Tales from Mos Eisley Cantina, or Tales from Jabba's Palace instead.
