  <default_description>The official The Force Unleashed novel by author Sean Williams will cover the events of the game, as well as provide fans with a more in-depth story than they will get from the game alone. Although the game features multiple endings, this novel will be one of the only places where fans will be able to find the official &quot;canon&quot; ending -- the definitive conclusion that will mold the events of the Star Wars galaxy for the future.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is really cool. After I read the book I rented the game and the story line of the game was different then the story. In the game it says that his apprentice is a jail mate but in the book it says that dark vader found him as a child and raised him to be a non-mercy assasin. I think that th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/44051963">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A must read for Star Wars fans. The story is a bit light, but the writing is superb and accurately captures the Star Wars Universe.<br/><br/>The only reason I read it was that it added actual content between the third and fourth movies. Kinda like a &quot;what did Darth Vader do over summer break?...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It didn't take me long to beat the game, so I thought I'd read the book for a little more back-story. It didn't really offer anymore insite into the charactors. Kinda dissapointing, but I love Star Wars, so I went along with it. The movie-adaption books and prequels are better. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Pretty much a perfect example of why you should not base a book off of a video game.  Or if you must, try including a little character development and some lively dialogue.  It goes a long way.<br/><br/>Yet another reason why I stay away from prequels!  *sigh*]]></body>

I don't think that this book really lived up to its potential, the story line was a so-so idea but it was great to read someting of the start of the Rebel Alliance. Then again, this book was based off a computer game. Overall I liked where they got the Alliance symbol, that's rea...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38458426">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[One of the better Star Wars books. Sean Williams is coming into his own and establishing himself with the top Star Wars authors. Only complaint is that the book seems constrained by the restrictions of the story line set by the video game. However it is a much better tie-in than Shadows of the Empir...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57012855">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A creative story about a secret apprentice of Darth Vader's.  There were many elements of the story that I really liked and found had great potential, however, I felt it was poorly written.  I found I was so bogged down in fight scenes, that there was very little character development.  But I guess ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55388438">more...</a>]]></body>
