1.0 out of 5 stars TPM Novelization: Special Edition, June 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (4 Different Cover Set) (Hardcover)

The storyline is ok, clearly lifted from the film and pressed into service by Brooks' adequate talent. Some insights into character development (completely unaddressed by the film), but I do have to give a single star to the totally unnecessary 4-different cover gimmick. Perhaps soon we'll have chapters and extra covers altered/added/subtracted for the re-release of the Novelization: Special Edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars This poor novelization is the REAL 'Phantom Menence'!, May 28, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (4 Different Cover Set) (Hardcover)

It felt as if Terry Brooks had to get this one out the door in a hurry. Read it only if you're truly a 'hard-core' Star Wars fanatic, otherwise just go see the movie again. Even four different book covers couldn't save this one!

1.0 out of 5 stars A cruel joke compared to the original three books, May 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (4 Different Cover Set) (Hardcover)

This book is far weaker than the original three books, mainly because the story and dialogue is more shallow, mundane and cliche. I couldn't decide whether this book was meant as a parody of the original three, a comedy, a Disney story, or a Power Rangers episode. None of the subtlety, depth, sustained focus on universal human themes, and slow revelation that made the original three books so special is present in this story. The only thing good I can say about the book is that it Brooks had no choice but to strip away the orgy of cartoonish special effects that created such an incoherent, ugly galaxy in the movie.
