One fault all these Jedi Apprentice books suffer from is not being long enough. This really hampers the complexity of the plot and the development of the characters. Because it’s a children’s book, the description isn’t very sophisticated either. I have to say I didn’t particularly like the plot of this book, but it was a nice twist to see the Jedi hijacked and sidetracked from their original mission instead of everything going to plan. The plot was kind of implausible – it’s largely set in just...more
I have enjoyed surrendering to my nerdy side many times, and this book was just another way in which I handed my soul to the dark side of the 'geek'. However, Jude Watson, Never disappoints. I am a college student now and her writing style still appeals to me. It is simple and fun and I am not going to lie sometimes in college you simply want to engage in something childish. This book captures all the aspect of the Jedi's that we have come to love and brings them to life in a form that is easy f...more
basically i am totally in love with the star wars books and so like i picked this one out of a stack. so basically in this book, obi wan kenobi and quigon jinn are like captured and then sent to this planet which i totally forget the name of but basically the planet is out of control like totally asylum gone wild andlike all hell done broke loose lol.

A friend has convinced me to try my hand this year for the first time at writing children's literature; but I don't actually know anything about children's literature, so am starting the process among other ways by first reading a stack of popular books that have been recommended to me. Today's titles are from yet another long-running series of chapter books for grade-schoolers, the kind of franchi...more

This book was very intresting it talked about a lot of fighting. Anotherthing is that this book had a lot of actions like when Obi-Wan Kneobi and Qui Gon Jinn was hijacked to a planet called Phinder. Something else is that their was this person who can erase people minds his name was Syndicat. Also If Obi-Wan was to mess up Syndicat can erase their minds forever.
Suitable for 8+ and those who have seen the films.
ObiWan is finally a jedi apprentice and gets his first mission. However, a detour occurs thanks to an old friend. Again, like others in the series this is very plot orientated and moves along very quickly. There's lots of fights in this one, and I'm sure that will appeal to some readers. An ok read.

Again another great in this series. Love how strong the bond between Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon has already become and how Obi-Wan outwits the syndicate's memory weapon. Highly recommend not only this book, but this entire series. Great background for Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's Master/Padawan relationship. Even though these are 'kids' books, they are filled with enough action/adventure to keep adults entertained as well.

I really liked all the Star Wars books by Jude Watson that I read, although they were a little bit below my reading level.
When I read this as a kid, it served as a vehicle that pulled me into the Star Wars world. Now, I'm indifferent to it.
Kids series for SW are tedious. I don't remember this one much so I wasn't impressed, but I also wasn't horrified.
I read these books in my pre-teens, they were my first taste of Star Wars books and I loved them. :)
In this series you see how close of a bond Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon have. Expecially in this book.

After Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qui-Gon Jinn are hijacked to planet Phindar, they find themselves trapped in a world gone mad. The ruling Syndicat controls the people by erasing their memories. The planet’s only hope lays with a band a thieving rebels.
Qui-Gon and Obi-“Wan are caught in a mind war.
And if they’re not careful, their own pasts will be wiped out forever. But one of them was not careful enough.

Very interesting story as Qui Gon and Obi won get stranded on a planet after they get hijacked by their pilot. Obi won of course over comes the possiblity of being memory wiped and saves the day. You see a lot of Obi-won's personality as he struggles to understand his master which you see latter with Anakin and Obi-won.
I thought that this was a great book for people who like starwars or anything about spaceships or any science fiction book
I mean, for a JV book, it's good.
A good continuation of the series.
