Anakin Skywalker (Star Wars Episode I: Journal Series)

Rating:
Summary: Not as good as the other journals
Review: This journal has things that you can read about in the Amidala journal, and the Star Wars novelization of Episode 1. Of course, reading this book will let you know more about Anakin and his thoughts. Buying is not necessary though, read your friends copy or get it at the library, because there's a 90% chance that you need to read this book again.....

Summary: VERY WELL WRITTEN-
Review: This story was a VERY WELL WRITTEN book. The plot was exciting with many adjectives and a special point of view from Anankin Skywalker. The only downside to the story was, well, I saw the movie 3 times and Anakin did not see some things that the other characters did. Anakin did not see the Queen have a very important meeting with the council of Naboo. He did not see the two Jedi, Obi- Wan and Qui- Gon Jinn try to negotiate with the Trade Federation. Another GOOD thing that happened in this book was some things are written down in the book that are not in the movie. For example, Anakin pulled out a projector and vaguely saw a battle with the Sith.

Rating:
Summary: A cool book.
Review: This told about what happened in the new Star Wars movie, Episode I, through a journal by nine-year-old Anakin Skywalker. I reccomend this book if you liked the movie. It expands on his character and is a fun book to read.

Rating:
Summary: This was a great book!
Review: This was a very good book. Ilearn so much about Anakin and the others. My favorite part was when he remembered when he first heard of the Sith it was very interesting. Anyone who says this book sucked probably souldn't have read it in te first place.

Rating:
Summary: Why wasn't this longer?
Review: This was decent, but really, I was expecting to learn more about Anakin's history, like why he has to wear the suit, what happened between him and Obi Wan before Obi Wan crushed him, it should've been longer, but knowing Anakin's emotions is a good thing. So, unless you want the story re-told from just half of the events, don't buy this. Look's like we'll have to wait a few years before the parts of Annie's future only Georgie knows is released. (Sigh...)

Summary: Not the best journal book, but better than I expected
Review: Well, out of all the Journal books I've read, (which is all of them except for Han's) I would say that while this one is not as gripping as Darth Maul's and not as heartfelt as Luke's, it is pretty decent. Especially since I was somewhat unimpressed with Episode 1 itself. Oh, but don't get me wrong, I liked it, it just seemed almost exclusively geared towards the twelve and under audience, and didn't have the 'something for everyone' quality that the previous ones had. I also didn't expect to like this journal because Anakin was probably my least favorite character in the movie, because he was just so goody-goody, and way too wooden and had no character development whatsoever. This book, however, completely changed my opinion of him. It went deep into his thoughts and feelings, all the while describing what went on around him, in a very realisticly done nine-year-old way. Some of the things he was thinking about were very compelling, such as how he missed his mother, and how he worried about Padme/Amidala. This made me like him more, overall, and even made me want to see the movie again so I could apply my new knowledge. I would definitly recommend this book to any Star Wars fan. Though it is written mainly from a fairly simple standpoint for the benefit of the averedge eleven year old reader, any Star Wars fan could read it as long as they don't expect an epic.
