Summary: No Continuity! Therefore, it's trash.
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.

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: People, these were wrote for children! Not adults!
Review: These books were meant for children NOT ADULTS! Therefore they need not be constant with the other books that were made for big boys and girls! I really don't think a child will care weather or not Luke flies a Y-wing or X-wing or if it doesn't correspond with the Thrawn trilogy! Children most likely wouldn't be found reading a novel like Heir to the Empire anyway! I bought this book for my friend's younger brother and I skimmed through it. No, TARKIN WAS NOT THE ONLY GRAND MOFF! IN THE MOVIES YES, BUT IN THE GALAXY, NO! DARTH VADER WAS THE ONLY DARK LORD OF THE SITH IN THE MOVIES BUT THERE WERE OBVIOUSLY MORE OF THEM BEFORE HIM! If you're mad at this author for it then also be mad at Zhan because in the Hand of Thrawn saga one of his bad guys is (suprise suprise) a Grand Moff! These stories entertained my friend's little brother greatly. He felt like he was like his big brother and me who were always talking about all the Star Wars novels. These are excellent books for the younger generation that they were meant for. Face it. Star Wars isn't just for the 20+ year old age group it once was. The Special Edition changed that, therefor it was a success.

Summary: a book for junior Star Wars readers
Review: This book in my opinion is for kids 6-10,no older. When the evil self-proclaimed son of the emperor Trioculus takes hold of the throne (with the help of Grand Moff Hissa & the Commitee of Grand Moffs),only Luke and his friends can stop him. Now Trioculus must find the indestructible right-hand Glove of Darth Vader. Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side Kaddan predicted that the next ruler will wear the Glove of Darth Vader! Then Trioculus gets a message from a imperiel named Captain Dunwell saying that he perhaps has found the Glove of Darth Vader!!! Dunwell runs a factory which butchers Waladones. The whale-like Waladones are intelligent sea creatures that live in the oceans of Mon Calamari. Luke and Acbar go to Mon Calamari to save the Waladons. But the leader Waladon Leviathor (the last great white waladon) is captured by Dunwell. But I won't spoil the suprising conclusions. May I note that the only characters that act like themsalves are C-3PO and R2-D2. The pictures of Luke are highly distorted and Acbar is a wimp. But this is good for kids who are not able to read bigger Star Wars books.

Summary: Andrew's Review of The Glove of Darth Vader
Review: Well.... This book would be good if you happen to be ten years old. For me, even at age ten it didn't quite have the Star Wars feel, though I did find it interesting enough to want to read the rest of the series. Continuity though is important to me, and this book had none of it. However I will say that this series would be good for kids too young to read say, Heir to the Empire, but would still like to know what happened next. I personally thought that the characters did not act like they should, and the writing was somewhat cheesy. Older fans would definitly do better with Young Jedi Knights or some of the adult novels.

Summary: Lay off people
Review: You people are trashing this book for no reason. First of all, there is a reason that this series doesn't fit with the other Star Wars books. It wasn't meant to. This series was directed at a younger group unlike the other ones, the 300+ page books. They published this series so children would be able to enjoy a sequel to the Star Wars trilogy without having to read the bigger and harder books. I have read every Star Wars book I could get my hands on and I still like this series so lay off!
