Just wondering if anybody else here has read this book. I was always a fan of the N64 game, but had never read the book, so decided to read it on holiday.
I was very impressed with it. As far as I know, it's the only novel set during the time of the original 3 films, so a lot of the characters and events are familiar. The story is decent, the new characters fit quite well, and apart from a slightly anti-climax of an ending, it kept me pretty interested throughout.
I've only read one other Star Wars novel, and although I thought it was OK, the story was a bit far fetched (even by Star Wars standards) and a lot of the writing was very cringe-worthy - a bit like Episodes 1-3, trying too hard to include nerdy phrases.
I'd definitely recommend it if you haven't read it. Disney could do a lot worse than make a movie of it next!
