Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

Hologram Fun World. It's a theme park visited by families from all across the galaxy. It's a place where Tash and Zak can safely hang out while Hoole continues his work. It's a place where daytime fun turns into nighttime terror.



One of the park's attractions is called the Nightmare Machine. It scans your brain, then shows you your worst fears in holographic form. Hairy, creepy-crawly insects. Cyborrean battle dogs thirsting for blood. But it's not real, so it's fun--right?



Wrong.



As Zak and Tash will soon find out, nightmares can come true. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars nightmare machine, October 5, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Nightmare Machine (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 4) (Hardcover)

I think this book was a good book. It was exiting and funny. I give it five stars becaus. It was about two people that go to a place called fun world. There is a ride called the nightmare machine. It scans your brain for your worst fear and shows it to but they find a few bugs in it and your fear comes true! If you liked this book you will like the next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars pretty scary, September 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Nightmare Machine (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 4) (Paperback)

After their experience on Gobindi, Zak and Tash need a safe place to stay while Uncle Hoole continues his research. So what could be more safe than a vacation at Hologram Fun World? Zak and Tash have no idea what they're in for. Inside The Nightmare Machine a strange brain creature scans their minds for their worst fears, then shows it to them as a hologram. This is the kind of book you don't want to read at night, but it's really cool during the day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Star Wars Galaxy of Fear, January 18, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Nightmare Machine (Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear, Book 4) (Paperback)

In Star Wars Galaxy of Fear Nightmare Machine. Two kids from the destroyed planet Alderan has foiled three phases of Project

Starscream. This evil plot was made from evil scientist Bog.

When Tash and Zak go to Hologram Funworld. It is not so fun. It'scary. The people start disapearing. The Holograms are real.

Will Tash and Zak stop another plot of Project Starscream. Read

this book to find out. What I like most about the book is when

Zak spews tons of cards on Bog's face. I didn't like about this book is that it is comfusing. This book is good. You should really try to read it.
