Rating: Summary: A great emotional book Review: It is a great book. It makes Qui-Gon Jinn look more human then just a fictional character. You have to read book #14 to truely understand this book. It has drama and suspense. One of the best books in the series.
Rating: Summary: Role Reversal Review: Jude Watson has now produced the fifteenth book in this series, and while not all have been perfect, she has created a great collection. This book is a continuation of the Qui-Gon+Tahl relationship. Emotional ties between Jedi are supposed to be against their code, and when the book closes, Qui-Gon's final statement seems to justify the solitary life a Jedi must personally follow. We already know that Anakin will marry against this particular rule, so reading of Qui-Gon's own experience will lay some history for the act.Obi-Wan continues to grow in maturity and his judgment once again finds conflict with Qui-Gon's. The first time this happened the consequences for the young apprentice were grave. The first time was also ruled by the emotion of the young apprentice, this time he must deal with a Jedi Master that is consumed with his own deep seeded emotions. One of these is fear, and Master Yoda has made precise statements in the past as to where fear may lead. This book spends a great deal of time with The Jedi in pursuit, using skills we have not seen before, and as always finding clever ways with which to surmount the obstacles they face. The time until, "Attack Of The Clones" is eight months away. I don't know if this series will carry past that point. Whether it does or does not, Jude Watson has plenty to deal with in coming books and the next film. As always fun, and this is one of the better installments.
Rating: Summary: I give it 6 stars! Review: Now, you should know that I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and have been reading J.A. ever since it 1st came out and think they are all great. But this one is one of the best I have ever read. It just seemed more real to me. Like how Qui-Gon feels abuot Tahl. Qui-Gon isn't exactly a mushy-gushy kind of guy and the author knows that. She describes his feelings so that they are actully believable. This book also got my emotions running haywire too. One minute you think "Okay, She's gonna be allright." and then I'm yelling at the book, going "No! You can't kill Tahl, you just can't!". It's a rollercoaster ride from the beginning to the end. To sum it up: It's a great book! :)
Rating: Summary: The saddest star wars jedi apprentice book ina while!! Review: Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan need to find Tahl before she is possibly killed. They go all the way across a desert and a town to find her. They even break the law by buying off the black market. On the way they find out major secrets and a massacre. ALL BECAUSE OF ONE PERSON!! Do they find Tahl? Do they find out who stole her? Read the book for yourself. Major sadness and suspense.
Rating: Summary: The best book! Review: The best book I've ever read, except for the love part which seems tobe blown out of all proportian. There's nbo need for it I think. As an parent I would not let my children read this book because I found it to be graphic and explicit and it touched upon themes of sexuality and sexual violence. I don't know what the author is playing at, where is George Lucas? He should be writing these books I think since he does such a good job with the movies and film scores. He's make the best author, but he doesn't need this kind of filth being churned out in his name. It's like the Marquee De Sode for kids I read on some website. But it's fun for a consenting adult. Just don't let your kids read it or the suggestive themes between the two Jedis may corrupt. MTYFBWY! (may the force tbe with you!)
Rating: Summary: awsome! Review: The second you open this book your wont ever be able to put it back down till your at the last word! The "Follow your sences" Qui-Gon we know is no longer here. The roles are switched around...Padawan is Master...and Master is Padawan! The plot takes so many twists, but it is a sad book. Prepare for suspence and a scary side of Qui-Gon that leaves you longing for the next book!
Rating: Summary: A story arc with an intricate web of twists and turns Review: The two Jedi Knights Qui-Gon Jinn and Tahl have made to each other a commitment of love. But now that Tahl has been abducted while on a mission on the planet of Apsolon, Qui-Gon will push himself to the limit to rescue her. Qui-Gon is consumed by dark visions, visions foreseeing something terrible about to happen to Tahl. With his apprentice Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon must rescue Tahl before it's too late. But nothing is easy as both enemies and friends may not be trusted because everyone has something to hide... "The Death of Hope" is the second book of a three book story arc. By far as most people have mentioned, this book is the most sad and touching story. Again the book focuses mostly on Qui-Gon as he struggles to sort out his feelings and to save his loved one. As you continue reading the story, the true sides of both enemies and friends are revealed. It's very confusing as the Jedis have to sort out what is truth and what are lies. I love the story how no one can be trusted and everyone is a suspect. Please be sure to read "The Ties That Bind" before reading this book. Then after reading this, "The Call to Vengeance" on hand since this book ends in a cliffhanger! 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. Plus 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: Summary: the outstanding book Review: This book is problely one of the best Star Wars books. Even though the ending is a little sad but f the rest is exiting. If you have lots of imagnation and like Star Wars or starting to like it I recommend you to read it.
Rating: Summary: I worship Jude Watson Review: This book was extraordinary. I love the whole series, but this one shines even above all the rest. It was so brilliant and sensitive. The way Jude Watson writes is really unique. It is very emotional and insightful. I have never written a review before but this book was so incredibly breathtaking I feel obligated to tell everyone. I love the way her characters make mistakes and learn from them, and they have real consequences. The plot and the characters in all the books in the series are so intricate, and they are never the same twice. Many authors, when writing a series seem to run out of ideas and the books seem jaded after a while. Not so with these. I strongly recommend them to anyone, any age.
Rating: Summary: Oh, my gosh!! Review: This is a confusing and good book. THis book tells how Qui-gon and obi-wan start out on there mission. Obi-wan never seems to do anything right. It also tells kinda ho wQui-gon and Tahl met. They also find Tahl and she is alive and take her to a med. center, were the med.'s try to keep her alive.... I'm not going to sya any more. This is a devasting and excitng book. Obi-wan gets hurt, Qui-gon faces the most hurtful lost. Obi-wan is really grown up and trys to help his master but he is confused by his master's unsaul behavior. Also during there mission Qui-gon's visions are more intesion. It kinda of tells about qui-gon past. At the end qui-gon's words do't sound like him at all, there is a lot of anger in in his voice and saddness. Obi-wan his so unsure of what to do. I can't wait to find out what qui-gon does to Bogala and the rest of the troop. Each page of this book is unexpeceted. Well read it's good.
