5.0 out of 5 stars You Must Take This In Perspective, July 23, 2004

This review is from: Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (Mighty Chronicles) (Hardcover)

This book is not meant to be a complete account of the story. It is an abbreviated version meant for a quick read to get a gist of the storyline. Taking that into perspective, it is a good book to get if you are a Star Wars fan. However, if you expect a complete chronicle of the story, then you will be sorely dissapointed, like the last reviewer was. It is meant to be a collectible to be put on a shelf with the other abbreviated version of the other movies.

2.0 out of 5 stars Halfway decent children's book, June 7, 2002

This review is from: Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (Mighty Chronicles) (Hardcover)

I'm not sure what I expected, but this wasn't it. The story is clear enough, but the writing style is very bland. An attempt is made at Yoda's style of speaking, but without much success. The illustrations are not quite right. There's no excitement here, either in prose or pictures.

Though it's a book for kids (my guess, ages 8-12), it seems to me the small size would put off most children.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone except a Star Wars completist.
