Summary: Great
Review: This is one of the best books I have read in this series...But I agree that it was too short, although, I always read the books in just a few hours. I can't believe we have to wait until June to get the next one...WOW, that is a long wait...But I am glad to see in the book that Qui-Gon actually does want Obi-Wan around, although I am wondering when he is going to tell him. And it is funny how in Episode 1, that Obi-Wan is the one who wants to live strictly by the Jedi code and he wants to go against it sometimes in these books...Ha Ha

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book is the best in the series. The only problem with it is that it's way too short. I read it in only a few hours. I can't believe it's going to take two whole months for the next one to come out! That's a very, very long time. Well, believe me this is one that you definitly don't want to miss out on. May the Force be with you as it is me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jedi Apprentice Books are not just for Kids!
Review: I am 19 years old and absolutely love these books. They are ideal for anyone who just can't get enough of the star wars universe. This book is the best yet. I would recommend, however, reading the series in order, the story just makes more sense then. I absolutely hate the fact that Obi-wan and Qui-gon aren't back together as padawan/master yet. The point is, don't hesitate to buy this book just because you are not a child!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Captive Audience
Review: Jedi Apprentice #7, the Captive Temple, is just as endearing,captivating,fascinating and frustrating as the other six. Incredibly well written, and not just for a childrens book, this one is filled with non-stop action from the first page to the last, with lightsaber action sequences that will leave you breathless. We begin to see an aspect of Qui-Gons personality emerge-his devotion and affection for the underdog, who just happens to be Obi-Wan in this case. This book holds true to all its predecessors in that it leaves you wanting more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh i wonder, wonder, wonder. . . . .
Review: i haven't done this in a long time... the book was great. the evil person lurking at the Temple was predictable, or at least i knew who it was. i thought for sure they'd get back together in this book, oh well. i think xanatos will bring obi-wan and qui-gon back together eventually. while (paitiently?) awaiting each book i've had plenty of time to reread each of these books, and think about them. due to a project at school i looked at the similarities in the series. Have you realized that obi-wan's point of view has started each book with the excpetion of the second? even ended the majority of them? and who is "neilson"? his name is on the cover of the books, three of them at least. it seemed to me that obi-wan's maturity went backwards, and qui-gon didn't really share his thoughts at all. but that's okay, it was still a great book with a nice twist. one more thing, it was TOO SHORT! but evening knowing how long the next one is going to be, i can't wait to read JA#8! don't miss out on "The Uncertain Path" I'm glad i didn't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It could'nt just be a happily ever after.Then another jureny
Review: I felt like screaming Obi-Wan tell Qui-Gon how you feel! Ahah I had a feeling who the BAD guy would be. Though I'am not going to spoil it for whoever has'nt read it yet. Jude, you have to have a councle meeting with Yoda, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, and everyone else and tell them thay MUST TAKE OBI-WAN BACK. Well The Captive Temple is soooo Butiful Qui-Gon finaly talks to Obi-Wan more like a father than a strenger, and the action seans are amazing when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan are fighting- well Mr. BAD guy its great. This one is a MUST READ! Like all the other ones . I just hope that #8 comes out really,really soon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: When, when?
Review: This book is x-treme! It rocks. Yoda almost gets kill. Obi-wan returns to the Temple to findout Bruck Chun is using the force for evil, Bruck dies. Xanatos gets away. That's so cool but what was infinutating is that Obi-Wan and Qui-GOn aren't Padawan and Master anymore! I mean this is crazy. They'd better get back together in the next book!

Summaya :-)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Who's the Master Again?
Review: To quote Yoda - "Patience your ally is." Time and time again, Obi-Wan is rash, somewhat reckless, but Qui-Gon? I expected better from him. I refer to the ending, and oh my goodness, what an ending! (btw - you know the book is good (and well written) when you come to the same conclusion the characters make only two (literally!) sentences before they do!) Excellent Fight scenes, I could smell the ozone of the lightsabers! As for their QGs and OBs relationship - wow! Do they have a rocky road ahead! An excellent continuation of the series. Once again, too short! :) (But what Jude Watson does in those 144 pgs! very very schway!)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Return to the Fantastic
Review: I keep thinking to myself that Jude Watson is no J.K. Rowling, but now I'm beginning to think that I'm deluding myself. The Captive Temple is, as we've come to expect from Watson, a fantastic read. Most remarkable of all is the way Watson is able to depict Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, twelve years before The Phantom Menace. What is masterful is that these both are and are not the characters we saw in the movie; they appear exactly as they must have been in their younger days. Remarkable.

The Captive Temple is also an improvement over the previous book. Obi-Wan is less mopey ("Mopey-Wan" . . . hmmm), and Qui-Gon less brooding. There are no quick fixes to their relationship, broken by Obi-Wan's betrayal of Qui-Gon in book 5, which is satisfyingly frustrating. Watson seems to have masterly paced the evolution of our Jedi heroes' relationship, giving us just enough development to keep us coming back for more.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best yet!
Review: "The Captive Temple", written masterfully by Jude Watson, continues telling the story of young Obi-Wan Kenobi leaving the Jedi. He has left the guidance of his former master, Qui-Gon Jinn, and of the Jedi Council. But when the Jedi Temple and Master Yoda's life are both threatened, Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan must work together to save the Jedi Temple from certain doom. Tahl, Bant, and several old friends -- welcomed and not -- return in this page-turning novel. Conflict after conflict arises: who is trying to destroy the Temple? Who would want to kill the inocent Yoda? But the most baffaling question is: will the Jedi Council allow Obi-Wan to come back, and if they do, will Qui-Gon accept him again? All of these questions will be answered in books number 7 and 8.
