An excellent portrayal of the real time expectations and events that lead up to one of the highest grossing movies of all time. Much more interesting than the original film when it was released.

This book puts it all into perspective, and is one of those books that once started, has to be finished.

Watch out Bill Bryson, this may not be your genre, but if this chap ever turns to the main stream - you're in trouble!

Bowen has captured the heart of the summer of 1999 and the long 22 year wait for a new Star Wars film. A must read that will have you wanting more. Tons of facts but just enough heart to make it a real modern day classic. And the real kicker-I heard he was only 16 when he started collecting data and writing this book. Absolutely engrossing work that deserves a look by any film fan worth his or her salt. Engrossing, engaging, entertaining-you can breeze through this book under a tree on a warm summer day of leisurely reading or hunch over it with notebook and highlighter in hand engrossed in the details.

Anyone of any age, gender, religion, race, will love this book!

Watch for Bowen to explode onto the "scene" in the upcoming months.
