I have read plenty of Choose Your Own Adventure books, and have found most of the older ones good, but the newer ones just get cheesier and cheesier. I have also read a lot of Star Wars books and most of them have been great. Finding a perfect combination between the two was awesome! In this story, you are the best friend of Luke Skywalker, and the choices you make ultimately decide the fate of the galexy. This book was very exiting with reasonably good writing and characterization. The one problem I had was that I would rather have been Luke or Leia or someone other than this made up character who has no real place in the Star Wars universe. (Luke's best friend? Wasn't that Biggs Darklighter who left Tatoinne months earlier to join the rebbelion and who got fried in the first Death Star battle saving Luke?) But, despite this I enjoyed it and intend to get the other two as soon as I can.

This book is a great book because it's like your inside of the movie, A New Hope. You are Luke Skywalkers best friend in this story and you go though the adventures that are in the movie with him if you make the right choices. You could be a hero of the Rebellion or a slave of the dark side. It all depends on the choices you make. I recommend this book if you are really into Star Wars and you will like to become a part of the movie. Also some of the stuff in this book never happens in the movie so you might be in for a surprise. Similar books to this are Choose your Adventure Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. I really liked this book and I hope you do too.

I first read this book in grade school after checking it out of the library, and was stunned by the story possibilities not followed by my favorite movie. I was thrilled to find it on Amazon, and after it arrived, I gave it a quick read-through; fortunately, the years and increased age didn't much dull the fun I had with it as a kid. It's obviously not for the old-school fan, except, perhaps, to put on your shelf as a display item. However, I can't think of anything more fun for a budding Star Wars fan. Get it for your kids, and they'll love it like no action figure you could find.
