5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Read, August 22, 2008

By	Richard C. Mistron "vicegripx" (Tacoma, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The teen novelization of the latest Star Wars film, the Clone Wars, is a short but delightful read. Granted, I'm not in the target demographic for this book, but it took me only a couple hours to run through this book and I enjoyed every minute of it.

So as not to spoil anything for anyone, I'll quote the back of the book instead of rambling about the plot of the book: "Was has spread chaos across the galaxy, and the Jedi Generals Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker find themselves leading a massive clone army into battle with Count Dooku and his Separatist Alliance. On the planet Tatooine, deep in the Outer Rim of the galaxy, crime lord Jabba the Hutt's son has been kidnapped. To gain the Hutt's allegiance, an advantage over Dooku, the Jedi have agreed to find and rescue Jabba's son."

Tracey West does a fine job at taking the reader through the events in the Clone Wars movie, almost scene by scene. Very little was added or omitted in this version of the story, unlike Karen Travis' novel which expanded on a great deal of scenes and characterization. But, that's an entirely different target audience.

West's book is easy to read and will no doubt be a delight for the young reader in your home. If your child is a Star Wars fan or if you're trying to convert them, get this book for them. Heck, you might like it too.

A Kid's Review

You should read this book because it has a lot of action. I liked how the assasin could put her light sabers together in this story. Great book for ages 8-12 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars More Action for Star Wars Fans, October 26, 2008

A Kid's Review

I like Star Wars, the Clone Wars because it has action. This book has 4 characters: Anikan, Ahsoka, Obi Wan Kenobi, Clone Commander Rex. This book has lots of armies and battles. I recommend this book to people that like action and space wars and people that like the future. This book is by Tracy west. There are lots of aliens that speak different languages. This book has lots of future weapons. This book has lots of weird ships and planets like Tatoine and armies like republic. There are people called Jedi and they have a weapon called a lightsaber there are bad people called sith lords they have lots of power they use the same weapon as a jedi. If you read this book and you like it they have a movie of it. I think this is a good book.
