Summary: All the excitement of the movie!
Review: Being that the Empire Strikes Back is my favourite of the Star Wars movies, I just had to read this book. It won't disappoint Star Wars fans, with all of the energy of the movie. I liked how it wasn't a complete adaption of the movie, with different things taking place on Dagobah. I would recommend this book to any science-fiction or fantasy fan.

Review: c-mon! It's starwars, need I say more? I don-t need to, I know. Having star wars on the cover is worth 4 stars at the least, so... Being a good book and an exellent novelization of my favorite movie, it deserves 5000.May the Force Be With You

Summary: Dark Lord's fury vs. the courage of a Jedi.....
Review: Donald F. Glut's novelization of Lawrence Kasdan's screenplay for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, based on a story by George Lucas, is among one of the better adaptations in the continuing saga of the Galactic Civil War and the adventures of Luke Skywalker. Three years after the Battle of Yavin, the Rebel Alliance is fighting for its very existence. Though they had won a significant victory with the destruction of the Death Star, the evil lord Darth Vader survived and made his way to the Imperial capital, where Emperor Palpatine gave him the ultimate assignment -- to find and destroy the Rebel leadership and crush the Rebellion once and for all. For three years Vader's Imperial Death Squadron of six Star Destroyers -- including his own massive flagship -- has pursued the Rebels from system to system. Vader is driven, too, to find one Rebel commander in particular: Luke Skywalker. Sometime after the defeat at Yavin, Vader discovered that Luke was the pilot who, with the assistance of the mystical energy field known as the Force, fired the torpedo that destroyed the Death Star. Realizing the young Rebel's untapped -- and untrained -- Jedi powers, Vader has made it his mission in life to capture Luke and, eventually, turn him to the dark side of the Force. So when an Imperial probe droid spots evidence of a hidden Rebel base on the remote ice world of Hoth, Vader unleashes his legions of stormtroopers against the small Rebel force. In a brief but violent battle, the Empire overwhelms the Alliance troops fighting a rear-guard action, but the bulk of the Rebels, including Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Luke, and the droids escape. Vader doesn't know, however, that the Star Warriors have set out on diverging paths. While Han, Chewie, Leia and See Threepio fly off in the damaged Millennium Falcon in a desperate attempt to rejoin the Rebel fleet, Luke and Artoo are on their X-wing starfighter on a different mission altogether. For the spirit of Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader's former Jedi Master and now Luke's spirit-guide, has sent Luke to the Dagobah system. There, he will seek Yoda, the Jedi Master who first instructed Kenobi. Although Glut (like all Star Wars adapters) had to use an earlier draft of Kasdan's screenplay (Yoda, for instance, is described as being bluish and with long white hair parted in the middle), he is a good enough writer and captures the essence of the film's characters and new settings.

Summary: I seem to be in the minority here....
Review: I enjoyed the Empire Strikes Back as a movie, it's probably the best in the entire series, so naturally the story in the novel will be all right. The novelization did an adequate job of following the script; but that's about all it did. Very little emotion or background behind the scenes, like the Phantom Menace novelization. It seemed awfully flat, even in the important scenes. It's definitely readable, but I don't think it's worth five stars.

Summary: This is a nice book
Review: I thought this was a great adaption of the movie. Now, I looove "The Empire Strikes Back,"but it is my least favorite Star Wars Movie(That'll tell you how much I love Star Wars!), so I can't give It a "10." I read this book in the book "The Star Wars Trilogy," Whicj is all three novels together.
If you want an even better novelization of Star Wars, Read "A New Hope" and "Return of the Jedi(My personal favorite)."

Summary: Most impressive!
Review: I've seen the movie a billion times. I've memorized every line, every move, every detail. Yet, as I read this book I was hanging on Glut's every word! He has a great writing style, the plot is fast-paced, it grabs you and won't let go. There's more here than in the movie as well. Luke gets some lightsaber training while on Dagobah, and that fabled kiss on Clud City, it's here as well! A must-have for the Star Wars fan and book collector!
