The Crystal Star

Rating:
Summary: Worst book I ever read!!!
Review: I love the Star Wars movies, the Zahn trilogy, Truce at Bakura, The Bacta War, Wraith Squadron,... But there is one major thing that Vonda screwed up, C-3PO!!!!! He was helpful, he never complained, he gave good advice, and he only spoke when asked. Needless to say all the other characters were represented completely from left field, the story was less believable than any of the others in the series. I would have given it a zero if I could.

Summary: Please read this for your own good!
Review: I hae read every Star Wars book published, and this one is by far the worst. It is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY bad. You don't need to read it-you won't miss anything, I promise.

Rating:
Summary: I thought it was pretty good....
Review: After reading all of the comments on this book I found out that I am in a major minority, I actually liked this book. I enjoyed the way the author used the children, I mean they are characters and aren't really used enough. Ok Luke was a little spaced out in this book, he could have been written better. Leia was acting like any mother would if their kids were kidnapped--the bounty hunter thing was kinda cool. Well you don't really have to listen to me but this is my own view--I enjoyed it.

Summary: Awful
Review: This book is an embarassment to the Star Wars name. The editors should have scrapped it. A complete lost cause that was the most painful reading experience I have had in awhile!!!

Rating:
Summary: i GIVE this a 2 is for the cover art, only.
Review: Cover art was awsome, if it wasnt for that i would have GIVEN it a 1 wich is sorry to say the lowest it can go, it deserves a 0.5 . The story sucked. It took me three months to read this thing. It's 413 pages full of bull. This one was worse than darksaber, wich at least you can trick yourself into thinking it was good. This was bad, flat out bad. I burned this one.

Rating:
Summary: Not up to the level of other books in the Star Wars line
Review: The plot itself was pretty weak, and the characters were not portrayed well. Many of the story concepts were entirely to far-fetched and many things were left unexplained (or inadequately explained, i.e. Luke's temper). The introduction of more "lost Jedi" was ridiculous and undermined the storyline set up by previous books in the Star Wars line. McIntyre fell short of Zahn's mastery of Lucas' universe, and this addition to the Star Wars timeline tarnished what other writers had done before.

Rating:
Summary: A boring yet interesting star wars book.
Review: While there was not alot of action in this book, it was fairly interesting. Waru was somewhat rediculous, where he smashes a ithorian child and only Han happens to notice it. All through the story I was hoping for the dark jedi(I can't remember his name at the moment) to fight Luke Skywalker in a final battle. I don't own this book, I borrowed it from the library, but I am seriously considering buying it for my relative Star Wars fans.

Rating:
Summary: This book was horrible!
Review: This is without a doubt the WORST Star Wars book I have ever read. And believe me I've read 'em all. It is totally bogus! Ms. McIntyre is giving the Star Wars name a bad rap with this book.

Rating:
Summary: Man, this book is so bad, its fun to review it!
Review: This book is absoutly horrible. Not only does Han cheat on his wife, Leia, in the book, they have to have some person who had a scientific body builder make him, hero of Star Wars, seem like a puppet. On top of that, it continually made Anakin seem superior to Jacen and Jaina, two of my favorite charectars, and had a dark jedi that was wasted, without a single lightsaber duel. That's the point of those charectars! Not to be eaten by some stupid creature the author took the liberty to make up! Don't read this book, because it'll just give Star Wars a bad name! McIntyre should have stuck with Star Trek!

Rating:
Summary: Could have been better, could have been worse!
Review: I loved this book! It had a great beginning and a great ending, but the middle was a little weak. It was a great way to meet the children of Han Solo and Leia. I borrowed it from the local library, but am looking into buying it for myself. If I don't like a book and can't get into it, I put it down and don't touch it again. This book had my mother angry at me because I wouldn't put it down. Read it, it's good but it could have been better.
