Summary: Closer to the actual movie than the other two novelizations.
Review: If you love The Empire Strikes Back, you will like this book. It is very well written, with different and expanded dialogue between characters. This is especially evident from the parts where Luke is learning different aspects of the Force from Yoda. There were scenes of Luke's training that were filmed and not included in the final cut, so reading this book, you'll be able to find out what we didn't see. Overall, though, this book is closest to the actual movie than the books for A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Not that that is bad. I and many, many others consider Empire to be the best Star Wars film ever made. (I also hope the upcoming Episode II is more like Empire, with its dark tone.)This book is just as exciting as the movie and is a must-read for fans. For those who are curious about this, buy Star Wars: A New Hope first, or you won't understand a lot about what is happening.

Summary: The Middle Act
Review: The "Empire Strikes Back" is a darker kind of stroy, basically because it's the middle act (refering to the way you put the characters in the worst possible situation and then in the final act you get them out). This book tells that story perfectly. In the book scenes are added in that were not put in (for one reason or another) the movie. Books can do one thing movies can't do very well, revel the character's thoughts and feelings. You learn a lot more from the book too. I'm not saying the book is better than the movie, I'm not saying that at all, that would be a digrace to George Lucas. All I'm doing is speaking from an authors view (I'm an upcoming 13 year old author working on my second book). This is a MUST have for any Star Wars fan, collecter, buff, freak (like me), or just someone normal (not like me).

Summary: Star Wars -The Empire Strikes Back- (Seafire12)
Review: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK against the rebel alliance! The story takes you from the icy planet of Hoth, to Dagobah, and finally to Bespin! It is a darker story and Luke begins his JEDI training with Master Yoda. This is a great book! Buy it!

Summary: The neverending story continues in The Empire Strikes Back
Review: The second book of one of the greatest trilogies of all time, was a very good book. I hope I can give my regards to Donald F. Glut. He has truly made the book better then the movie. The book has a lot more detail and thoughts.

Summary: The Story Continues.
Review: This children's adaptation of the original STAR WARS saga is the second of a three book trilogy. It is supposedly written for an audience of 9-12 year-olds. Nevertheless, the writing could be a lot better; if it weren't for the pictures and few illustrations most kids in the projected age range would be completely bored by the book. Not only that, but this version of the story leaves huge holes in the "real story's" plot. Also, there is no picture of the Millenium Falcon escaping the space slug (one of the best scenes in the film), nor or there any pictures of Boba Fett (there is, however, one slight illustration of that great bounty hunter). This book is probably best for the youngest of STAR WARS fans and those who are most fanatical.

Summary: Well, ...It's okay
Review: This junior novelization of The Empire Strikes Back was not very good. At least from my standpoint, which I'll admit, is a bit too old for it. The writing is boring and unimaginative, and seems to speak in five word sentences half the time, and it left HUGE chunks out. I plan to read the adult's novelization as soon as possible, and I hope it is better. Kids ten and under might not notice or care one way or another about the flaws in this book, but older fans probably will not like it.
