In some ways <em>better</em> than the movie because the reader is taken inside the point-of-view characters.

    <body><![CDATA[**This review is for the abridged audio version of the Terry Brooks novelization**<br/><br/>I should start by saying that as a previously lifelong fan of Star Wars who no longer called herself a fan after the brutal prequel trilogy, I was pretty convinced I wasn't going to like the audio book eith...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17978994">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Like the movies; guess I won't like the books so much. This was on a list as one of the more accessible Star Wars novels.  I don't read much Sci-Fi anyway, so this didn't grab me. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was on a Star Wars kick and I read somewhere there were chapters in this book not covered in the movie, so I read it hoping for a bit more character driven fulfillment the movie did not provide me.  It had a little of that, but for the most part was just as fluffy as the movie. Didn't hate it, did...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46337960">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Not being a Star Wars fan, it wasn't a thrilling book for me to read.  I believe I read it just to say that I had read it.  I won't read it again, but that's not saying it's not a good book.  It just isn't my cup of tea.  Too many pages describing fights I just couldn't follow.]]></body>
