Summary: Uh. . .um. . .er. . .no. . .Why isn't there a 0 star option?
Review: Not a good book. Hethrir or whatever was stupid and pointless, so was Rillau or whatever, what the heck is a warewolfe doing in Star Wars (you can't tell me that that wyrewulf thing isn't one), Waru? Waru? Waru? NO!!! NO!!! NO!!! OH MY GREAT GOD NO!!! What in Hell was this author thinking when she even dared to create this, this, INSULT to the Star Wars universe. Another dimension? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! THAT IS NOT STAR WARS IN ANY, I REPEAT ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!!!!!!!!!! A good story wasn't even attempted here it seems. If George Lucas ever read this he would keel over dead! Why did they pass this one? WHY?! No big battles, no duels, no Luke (and I stand by that remark!), no Star Wars feeling... If you want to read it go ahead. But don't expect too much. I have nothing against the author. She may very well be good with Star Trek but she just didn't capture Star Wars at all. It seemed more like she had a pet project that never quite took off so she slapped a Star Wars title and (dare I say it?) characters on it just so she could get it published and get people to read it knowing that all good Star Wars fans would read anything having to do with it. Thank God for the X-wing novels! Those got me back into the Star Wars pace after reading so many bad novels with a few good ones intermesshed in between (I speak of the Correlian trilogy and Shadows of the Empire). After X-wing the authors seemed to be getting back on track. My advice? Skip this one. None of the characters introduced in this book ever return and none of the plot points are ever brought back up again.

Summary: One word: CrapFest
Review: This has got to be *the* worst book I have ever had to read through. Oh, wait a second, I take that back. I've read quite a few college textbooks that were pure drivel. But that's different, folks, that deals with non-fiction in a structured, graded, environment. This is entertainment, and McIntyre's book is *not* entertainment. It's more like a punishment awaiting the folks in the 7th strata of Dante's Inferno.Luke Skywalker, the hero of the galaxy, has the assertive integrity of a heroin addict. "Waru, Waru, I must find Waru! I want to make that tub of slime my best friend!" It's degrading and humiliating. The big villain Hethrir and his band of goons are reminicient of the burglars who were constantly clobbered by the blonde kid in Home Alone. Just how lame is this book? The answer is, you do not want to know. Unless you're a Star Wars maniac, do not read this book. And if you *are* a star wars maniac, don't read this if you have a pacemaker.

Summary: Very interesting
Review: It had a lot of turns and twists. It ended up in different places and as Anakin would say,"No Krakana!!!" It was a pretty good book.

Summary: Characterization?
Review: I give it 2 stars because I read it through to the end...it wasn't bad enough for me to quit reading. The pace was unbearably slow at times, and the latest "Luke must be a non-factor" device seems overly contrived. Characterization doesn't seem to follow the obvious development path from the movies through the other novels. Luke turns into a basketcase, Han lets himself get pushed around, and Leia jumps too quickly to run off. This is the first Star Wars book that made me question the quality of the Star Wars novels.

Summary: Sorry. Maybe next time. . .
Review: Okay. This book is not, definately not, a good Star Wars book. I wish that I had more nice things to say about it. Vonda whats-her-face gave it a good shot. Unfortunately, maybe she should have tried watching the movie before she started writing. The characters we all know and love are flat. I mean zip. Luke, Mr. Jedi Master, they guy who resisted the Emperor and Vader is a whining crybaby who gets under the influence of some blob. Come on! Leia is flat. The Chief of State is not going to run of like that. Yo, she has a government to run. Were is See- Threepio? Our prissy chatter box spoke, maybe five words in the whole book. Han has a strong will, and would not practicly cheat on Leia. Since when does he let an inkeeper push him around? Hethir or how ever you spell it? Get lost! Waru? Bring me a basin! I'm going to be sick! Overall, stick to Star Trek, Ms. McIntyre.

Summary: The darn thing owes ME a few stars.
Review: How many beers did Lucas have before approving THIS one? This is one of the most hyped books in Star Wars Official Continuation, but I advise you to stay away from it. I revised my concept of purgatory after finishing this book; major sinners will probably be forced to re-read it multiple times. This is one of the main reasons I gave up Star Wars in favor of Invasion America. Of course, another main reason is that Invasion America kicks bass. I hope VNM never discovers it.

Summary: Who the hell let this Trekkie write?
Review: I am a serious Star Wars fan, I've read all of the books except for three. I pride myself on being able to remember what happened in each book with detail. But after reading this crap that somehow managed to sell itself off as a book, I'd gladly have my memory wiped. Until I read this book I could say that every Star Wars book that I'd read would be at least decent, including the Jedi Search Academy(which was only semi-crap. But along comes this trekkie crap and I'm starting to be suspicious of every new SW novel. I never that thought I'd read a book that polluted the Star Wars universe more than the Jedi Search trilogy. This book(if you can call it that) proved me wrong, its like Vonda woke up one day and said "Now let me see, whats the best ways to sabotage the SW universe?" The main reason for why this book doesn't belong in the world of Star Wars is obvious. Let's see if the retards who liked this book can figure it out.Star WARS(emphisas on WARS here). This book was completly devoid of any action whatsoever. When I looked at the cover and saw with his lightsaber out, I thought it would at least have some action in it, Let's see if the retards can answer this one. How many times does he actually fight with the lightsaber? answer: not at all. And don't even get me started about Hethir and the whining of the twins. Oh no he fed me bad food, Oh no he made me do homework. In, conclusion, I think that this trekkie should not write anymore SW novels and try to get a job creating episodes of th Teletubbies, because thats about how good this book was. By the way, I how many of the people who liked this book watch the Teletubbies

Summary: What a bunch of wimps!
Review: This book did not continue the Star Wars tradition. The characters were whiny instead of strong and the action was laughable. I was very disappointed in the way the author portrayed the familiar characters as weaklings. The Star Wars characters are "people" of action, but all they did here was mope about the things that were going wrong. Luke and Leia would never blame their troubles on others, nor would they wait to be "rescued." I'm glad that other women authors have done a better job of interpreting the familiar characters. Otherwise, readers would assume this is the way all females write science fiction.

Summary: A definite page turner
Review: The book was very exciting but it lacked one thing , action. If you like Star Wars, you will like this book.

Summary: Good God, what is this THING?
Review: This mockery of the Star Wars universe has to be the biggest waste of money I have ever been sucked into. (Next to the Jedi Academy Trilogy, that is.) These characters are NOT the characters we know and love from Star Wars. And Han and Leia's children... ordinarily, I would have loved a book that lets us get to know Jacen, Jaina and Anakin better. But THIS is ridiculous. The kids were much more interesting in the Corellian Trilogy. The only way I can appreciate this book is if I pretend it was all some big hallucination that Luke had after a visit to Yoda's dark side cave. Don't waste your time or money.
