Summary: Lack of Creativity
Review: As much as I respect authors who put effort in to writing books, I honestly did not like this sorry attempt to continue the story of Star Wars.

I understand that it was not written for adults, and therfore is made to read easier and a little bit easier to understand as well.

The novel attempted to include things that don't belong in the Star Wars series and re-used ideas that were good, but had been done before.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: THIS BOOK IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: How can people like this book?? It is babyish, and no true Star Wars fan will read it. The information it gives is completly false. There aren't any Grand Moffs, and Luke doesn't fly a Y-Wing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I think that this book gives Star Wars a bad name
Review: I found this book to be really hard to understand even though I am a sci fi lover

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic! The Empire is REALLY striking back now!
Review: I LOVE "THE GLOVE OF DARTH VADER" People who have been badmouthing it are idiots. At the end of the movie trilogy, the Empire was in bad shape. This shows how they re-organized. There's a race to get to be the new Emperor, like King Arthur and the sword - whoever finds Darth Vader's glove (which Luke cut off along with Vader's hand) is the new Emperor. According to a prophecy by a cool new group of Imperials, the Prophets of the Dark Side. R2 and C3PO start out the incredible adventure. A MUST READ! If adults don't like it, they should go back to HEIR TO THE EMPIRE and stop insulting books that work for us. A 5th grader. P.S. The whole series by Paul and Hollace Davids is great. Pam

Summary: It's good but you have to read the rest of the series.
Review: I loved the whole series, but this first one wasn't my favorite. The glove search was exciting, but the rest of the series is better. This is for 2nd-4th graders.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Child's First Star Wars.
Review: I read this book when I was in fifth grade, and still think it's one of the best Star Wars novels yet.(I own all of the Satr Wars novels, so I know what I'm talking about) The entire series kept me on the edge of my seat! The characters,the artwork, the storyline was great! It would make any child a Star Wars fan. This book is a good choice for parents who want there children to read.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: No Continuity! Therefore, it's trash.
Review: I read this book when I was younger and it was ok and the whole little six part series was ok. Then I got into the adult books (WAY BETTER!) and noticed that they have no continuity with each other. After having read many SW books now and am familiar with the SW timeline, I have concluded that every SW book fits in to the timeline except for this series. Therefore, it should be burned and forgotten about. Lucasfilm made a terrible mistake in publishing these. Not only do they contradict all the other novels, their stories aren't anywhere near as good as the others. Do yourself a favor and don't ruin your perception of the SW universe with these. Go out and read the adult books like the Thrawn Trilogy by Timothy Zahn. You can read any other kids books too, but don't read the six in this series. They aren't even included in official timelines anymore. They don't truly belong in the Star Wars universe. I feel sorry for the authors, though. They tried, but I guess they didn't know what was going to happen to these stories.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Wonderful littles stories to read to the kids
Review: I think these books take place after Truce at Bakura So I have placed themon the timeline at year 5 and 6 ANH. Are these 12 year old books worth reading? Who should read them?

I came across 3 of these, books 1, 4 and 6 of 6 written b the Davids. They are simple stories and come illustrated in simple pen and ink. They are not relavent to the EU, but they are nice little stories about the star wars characters for younf listeners and readers. When reading to the young you need help holding their attention especially my ADHD son. Pictures help. That is also why I have turned to buying and reading the dark horse comics about star wars.

Which is better? I like the comics better, but sometimes, with all those beautifully colored and inked pictures and the varying panels, it is hard for the kids to follow. But these simple little bantam Skylark books are sometimes perfect. Amazon actually had 73 new and used of the 1st book in the series when I wrote this in 2003.

Summary: How can people like this?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I'm sorry,this book completely sucked. It was so stupid and childish that I felt like scribbling all over it. Trioculus was a jerk & not very impressive. I expected an Imperial to be more impressive. One thing that really bothered me was that the author kept on making LUke fly Y-wings. I mean, Luke flies X-wings!! He did in the movies & in the books. There were a bunch of other stupid things in the book. And one friendly comment to the author : Watch the movies.
