Summary: she's done it again!
Review: I loved this one! The only complaint I have is that it was too short. I finished it in an hour and a half. I think it's fabulous that Jude Watson is able to write books for children that are so compelling to adults as well. I shall wait in agony for the next installment!

Rating:
Summary: It's the best yet!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed The Captive Temple, although I agree with some other reviews here--it was far too short! I wanted more! What a neat little series this is! Although they're written for children, these books are great for adults too, especially *this* adult who loves these books primarily for the insights into the main characters. Also enjoyed learning more about the Temple in this book! I can't wait for the next one!

Summary: Great continuation!
Review: I was NOT expecting this book to be out yet but boy was I glad it was! This story was very well done, and you really got to know the characters better. I think it is important to keep the readers suspenseful as to how and when QUi-Gon will reaccept Obi-Wan...(we all know he does!) I can not WAIT for the next one to come out in June...maybe we will get the answer at least I'VE been waiting for!

Summary: Wow! What a book
Review: I agree with everyone else who has said this "This book is TOO short! " I was impressed by the way this book was written and it ws TOTALLY worth the wait. I highly recommend this book to anyone interseted in Star Wars but make sure you read the first six first and in order, otherwise you'll have NOT a CLUE what is going on and why the people do what they do. Happy reading!

Summary: Perfect
Review: This book had everything we were waiting for, the heroes all become more human, and we are sharing their emotions and strugles. The insights in the temple life are really satisfying as well. Howver even if I undestand that the relations between the two heroes must be strained in the next book, I hope they will at least be able to develop afather / son relationship. Lat critics: could the books be longer, much longer, and more frequent

Rating:
Summary: Once again, a well written, captivating story.
Review: The series is turning out to be very entertaining, and I am enjoying reading every page. My only regret is that, since it only takes a few hours to read, they are not publishing these books fast enough. I guess that is a problem with our generation. We like to have the whole story, right now, and not wait at all for the next part. But so far, everything we have wanted, we have gotten, so they may as well keep Jude Watson's nose to the grinding stone and churn these stories out a little faster.

Summary: The Best One Yet
Review: Wow. I absolutely loved this book. I got the book as soon as it came out and it was worth the wait. #7 in the series, is the best one yet in my opinion. I just wish that it was longer. Well, we continue to follow Ob-Wan and Qui-Gon through all that is happening in the temple. Watson does an excellent job of leading us on and allowing us to piece it together. Unfortunately, we have to wait until June for the next one, I won't be able to sit still that long. I need to find out what happens! Anyway, buy the book, you won't regret it.

Summary: KILL XANATOS ALREADY
Review: I JUST READ THIS BOOK AND THINK IT IS WONDERFUL. BUT I DON'T REALLY WANT TO SAY THIS BUT I AM A LITTLE DISAPOINTED IN THE WAY XANATOS KEEPS LIVING. AT NIGHT ALL I THINK ABOUT IS QUI-GON SHOVING HIS LIGHTSABER IN XANATOS'S GUT.

Summary: My secret shame
Review: OK, I've been hiding the Jedi Apprentice series underneath piles of work, reading (and, yes, rereading) them when I should be working on my dissertation, but #7, The Captive Temple, was so good that I'm finally coming out of the closet (so to speak). Anyone of any age with the remotest interest in the Star Wars universe must read these books. The richness with which Watson draws the characters (not only Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, but the entire supporting cast as well,) in addition to the skillful balance of internal, emotional battles and external lightsaber battles makes these books, and #7 in particular, compelling and immensely satisfying books. Watson also doesn't go for the sitcom-like "wrap the whole problem up in 30 minutes" cop-out the way many children's books do...we are forced to wait, with the same patience that Obi-Wan is frequently reminded he must cultivate. " The Captive Temple" was certainly worth waiting for...Watson gives us enough foreshadowing of events for us to put them together on our own, but not so early that we know the entire course of the story after one page (well, at least I didn't). It was wonderful to see more of the Jedi Temple, as well as some favorite characters from earlier books- Bant, Tahl, and of course, Xanatos. An earlier reviewer is absolutely right, though- don't start with #7- you'll appreciate the story much more if you start with #1...but by all means, just read the book!
