4.0 out of 5 stars
do you like bounty hunters?,
By
This review is from: Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones / Jedi Readers, Step 3) (Paperback)
"Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter" is a good read for those with an interest in the bounty hunters. The story begins between Episodes I and II, when Count Dooku hires Django to assassinate Senator Amidala. The plot quickly runs into "Attack of the Clones," finishing with the death of Zam Wesell. That written, it would be misleading to believe that this is merely an abbreviated retelling of a movie. This book features significant character development between Jango and his son, Boba. Furthermore, the reader witnesses many events that are mentioned or assumed to have taken place in the film. Eric Arnold's writing is perfect for most third graders. "Jango Fett" is set-up as a first chapter book. Valerie Reckert's illustrations are awful. Most images feature movie scenes that are superimposed with original artwork. The problem isn't the approach, it's the amateurish execution. That written, the intended audience would probably take no such issue. Illustrations aside, "Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter" is a high interest book for the young reader.

This book preaches ruthless murder and terrorism!,
By
This review is from: Jango Fett: Bounty Hunter (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones / Jedi Readers, Step 3) (Paperback)
The hero of the story is Jango, who calls himself a bounty hunter before the admiring eyes of his son, Boba. In reality, however, Jango is no more than a ruthless hired assassin whose only motivation is money. Moreover, by subcontracting an explosives expert to assassinate a Senator, Jango becomes the intellectual author of a terrorist attack. And then he murders his attractive young assistant in cold blood when she is captured and begins to talk! No, I'm sorry, this book has no place on our children's bookshelves.
