The Star Ghost

Rating:
Summary: Nice
Review: I found this book intersesting to read when I was younger. I could not put it down. It had lots of action.

Rating:
Summary: OK for a YA book
Review: The Star Ghost, while I guess acceptable to younger kids, is really not very good. While technically it's ok, the author doesn't seem to have a feel for DS9. He makes Jake a bumbling fool who needs everything spelled out for him, an idiot who can't figure out his algebra homework without Nog's help, and who is constantly drinking "chocolate malted"s and eating hamburgers or steak. There is some interesting humor, but most of it is just cheap-gags obviously meant for little kids, but which they probably wouldn't find funny anyway. The back story is minutely interesting, but I'd recommend only buying this book if you're a collector
