This book was way better and more interesting to read than the other books about Boba Fett. It has more depth than the Boba Fett Dark Horse Comics. If you have not read this book, let me tell you that you are missing out on a lot!

The story speaks of relationships and the circle of life. You can relate to Boba Fett as you read about his relationship with his father, Jango Fett. It reminds you of young Anakin Skywalker who has a mother but no father. You get the opposite where Boba has a father and wished he had a mother. But it draws more from that. Witness Boba grow from an innocent wishful boy into the fearsome bounty hunter he becomes. It was very saddening to read about how Boba took the death of Zam Wesell, the sea-mice, and eventually his own father. Even the scene with Boba's only friend, Whrr touched me.

Boba is not the brutal killer as you think he is. This is a man who goes through many life experiences and valuable lessons. This is what made him stand out among the bounty hunters. Read this book!

Star Wars Boba Fett The Fight to survive is exciting and it tells you what happens to Boba Fett after his father dies. It is exciting. Any body who likes Star Wars will love this book and it is very easy to connect to.

By the title you may think that this book is just another boring copy of the Clone Wars book, but it's not! It's about what happened after the clone wars. Boba Fett goes to Count Duku who befriends him and leaves him on the filthy planet called Raxus Prime to die. But does he die? You'll have to read it to find out. I think that this book was great because the author really captures the anger and rage Boba has for the Jedi. This book is awesome and I recommend it to all the sci-fi fans and the star wars lovers out there I give this book a 10 out of 10.

This is a pretty decent book that coordinates very well with Star Wars Episode II and its novelization and makes me look forward to more books in the series and to Episode III (thumbs up on the cameos at the end of the book). Boba Fett, as the boy without a mother, stands in contrast to Anakin Skywalker, the boy without a father. You have to wonder how Sigmund Freud would analyze Boba Fett when he doesn't have a mother around to screw him up. Apparently it means he learns bounty hunting techniques and that you should never trust anyone. We also find out that Jango Fett is much like many fathers in our own society who are gone most of the time but still leave their sons a legacy once they are gone for good. And it is interesting to find out that young Boba Fett was an avid reader and library patron. Who would've guessed?

... Anyway, this was a very good book. Yes, it's written for children, but it's a superb example of a book for children. There's no candy-coating of reality. Boba learns that the world is what it is. Eels eat mice and there's nothing you can do to save to mice, but sometimes the snake whose life you saved keeps you warm at night after your whole world has fallen apart. Or maybe it's a different snake, who has no debt to you but does it anyway. It's just a whole cycle, with good intentions, and conflicting desires, and the fight to survive on every side. Deeper than most children's books get, but what they ought to be. The plot falls down after Terry gets through with the events of the movie, though. The plot stops adding up to anything much, and it would have been a much cleaner ending if it was cut off just after Boba leaves Kamino for the last time. Other than that, it's a good book. And the title is just perfect for it!

I loved this book. I'm not known to read very many books, but I have to say, this one was a treat. I liked the Harry Potter series, and I haven't read this much in ages. I got grounded, and I went up to my book, and read for 1 and ½ hours. I got to chapter 20, and decided to call it a night. In reading class at school, I read the 30 or so pages that were left. It was great. I'm ordering the rest of the books in the series tonight. (#2 Crossefire, #3 Maze of Deception, #4 Hunted, #5 A New Threat, and #6 Pursuit.) They are great books, and I reccomend it for any child that is a Star Wars fan. Thanks Star Wars!

If you like action you'll like this book. The title of the book is Fight to Survive and author is Terry Bisson. The main characters are Boba Fett, and Jango Fett, and the setting is in the future. The proplem is Boba Fett became an orphan.

In the beginning of the story Boba Fett and his father, Jango, started the journey to Gionoses for a battle. Next they go to the battle field to watch the battle.

The theme is you can overcome a bad situation. This book reminded me of my favorite Star Wars movie. Kids in grades 3-5th grade who like action will enjoy this book.

This book is one of the best Star Wars books I've ever read. Ever since I read this book I've been interested in the bounty hunter Boba Fett. While reading these books I learned a lot about Boba and a lot of other charecters. You learn what a tough time Boba had as a child, how he became a bounty hunter, and how he got his start with Jabba the Hutt.
This first book is pretty much him and his father on their home planet of Kamino, not much happening. (until the end) This book lays out the whole trilogies plot (you Must read this one FIRST) to number's 2 and 3.
I reccomend this item if you like Star Wars, I promise that this book will delight you.

THis is the first book in an all new series explaining how Boba Fett became the best bounty hunter ever! The book starts in Star Wars Episode II, but tells the story from Boba Fett's point of view. When his father dies, he takes his father's helmet, ship, and guide to life. Boba first searches for his father's former employer, Count Dooku. I don't want to ruin the ending. All I can say is that the book ends in a cliffhanger. You'll want to get the next book in the series, Crossfire. It's just as good as this one was.

Though I'm a bit over the recommend age for these books, being a true Star Wars fanatic, I had to read it anyway. Man, am I glad I did! The book was truly great, balancing action, with plot, with character development flawlessly! Young Boba Fett is an excellently defined character, and the author was so good that it wasn't uncomfortable at all following someone so young. I could easily identify with him. The story follows him from Episode 2 onward, and it begins on Kamino, Boba's home planet. Boba has no friends, no mother, and has never been to school, and there is little to do on his miserable, rainy, world except read, especially when his father and Zam are off on their frequent adventures. However, when a mysterious Jedi shows up at their door, everything changes for Boba, fast. Anyway, I recommend this book to any Star Wars fan with an open mind, young or old.
