As are all books that are transformed into motion picture, they completely outshine the film adaptation, this novel is no exception. The descriptions given throughout the story are so vivid that they make it seem as though you are actually watching a movie. The only regret I have with the purchase is that I didn't buy it sooner. Jonathan Davis is the top of the list when it comes to narration. I find myself looking for his name when I am browsing. 5 stars.

Anything with Jonathan Davis is well worth the $

Reading all the books in order. I love this book, because it drew emotions out of me. I hated how Anakin Skywalker turned Sith in the movie. Listening to it, just made me sad, but thats because this saga, this book is so good.

This review assumes all of you have seen the movie this book was based on and therefore contains many spoilers for that movie.

Compared with this book, the movie feels rushed and very shallow. The book delves into the motivations of, not just Anakin, but many other characters. I was especially impressed by how well Matthew Stover revealed Windu's inner processes. Not just revolving around the confrontation with Palpatine, but also the skeptic caution with which he treated Anakin.

Of course, Stover also engages Kenobi's thoughts and reveals that, in a way, even he was not the "perfect jedi" that everyone believed he was.

Anakin himself, who's brashness and seeming rapid fall to the dark side made immeasurably more sense here than in the movie. Even actions that appeared to be irrational instability, such as his desperation to become a master, are masterfully explained in the book.

This book even humanizes (in concept, not literally) Yoda. It shows that he is perhaps, not so wise as he is usually portrayed. Anakin goes to him for help, as he does in the movie, but Yoda fails to offer anything but typical jedi platitudes driving Anakin to other sources. Toward the end, when Yoda begins to learn under the force ghost of the very unconventional Qui-Gon Jin, he makes an insightful realization about the limitations of jedi order as it had been and sees that, in a way, their inflexibility became their downfall.

My favorite part of this book was the description of Anakin's "dragon." It was an exceptionally well done abstraction of the struggle within him. The fruition of which, gave me goosebumps at the end.

In my opinion, any Star Wars fan should read this book. It just helps the story make sense, makes it seem like it could've actually happened and it wasn't forced in just because Anakin had to become Darth Vader somehow.

Of course, I can't say enough good things about Jonathan Davis. His narration was spot-on.

Far Better Than the Movie
