    <body><![CDATA[Well, I figured that I should try and make the books I add sort of... representative. And I read this rather a lot.<br/><br/>Overall, I don't think the first book in the series is my favorite. However, though I don't think the plot is quite as strong as some of the others, many of the characters a...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/32121829">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Star Wars at its best.  I'll take an X-Wing over a Porsche any day... (although Ferrari would take a TIE Interceptor at least).  The only drawback is a lack of ejection system and hyperdrive, but at this point in time, hyperdrive is useless as we haven't charted most of the stars.<br/><br/>If you ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1463099">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This series contains some of the best Star Wars novels.  They aren't concerned, for the most part with the main cast of characters, but instead focus on the fighter pilots.  Commander Wedge Antilles, the only minor character to appear in all three of the original trilogy, leads his squadrons of figh...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28917389">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I gave this book three stars and the rest of the series two to reflect that, while I was pleasantly surprised by enjoying the x-wing series, I also can't see myself wanting to read them again any time soon.  They were just a bit too far on the side of brain candy, and there's enough brain candy out ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6579887">more...</a>]]></body>

Alot of the characters are such a blast Corran and Piggy are the coolest. Overall good writing. Enjoyable, feel good story lines. You really feel the havic that Isard was spreading around.
