Star Wars figures were always referred to as "Star Wars guys", never "Star Wars figures". I had forgotten.

This book is full of reminders like that, and for those of us who remember the mind-blowing amazement of unwrapping a mammoth AT-AT box at Christmas, or not realizing that Return of the Jedi sucked when you walked out of the theater because you had so much fun, it's a really enjoyable book. It's well worth reading for that reason (plus you can knock it out in no time, so More...

Even though I'm not American and did not grow up in America when the Original Trilogy was let loose on an unsuspecting world, I shared the same feelings John Booth had when he first saw Star Wars (always will be Star Wars and not Episode IV) and the subsequent sequels, the lean years and then watching the prequels as an adult. A great trip down memory lane even if my lane was half a world away.

Wow! What a trip! This book brought back memories that were so deeply hidden. It kinda freaked me out. Star Wars was a very important part of my life when I was 11 and I guess it will always be. This book chronicles the life of a young adult and his imagination that was stirred by Star Wars. If you loved this movie you will love it again while reading this book. Great fun!

A fun, quick read, and it certainly brought back a lot of memories of my own childhood, when Star Wars was the all-consuming fire of my life, too.

Great walk down memory lane if you grew up in the Star Wars generation! (disclosure: Booth is a close personal friend of mine, so I'm predisposed to love his work...also enjoyed "Crossing Decembers" quite a bit!)
