A must read for fans of Star Wars

This was a great read. It gave some more indepth insights into the flow of the movie as well as "behind the scenes". Some of the conversations differ from the movie. In fact if the movie had used Stover's dialogue it would have made the movie even better. Especialy when Palpatine reveals himself to Anakin. Read this book if at all possible.

Liked the book very much!

To go and start throwing mud at the author because as someone put it, "he thinks he's a better writer than he is" is just stupid. You like the style he's giving you or you dont. Anyway... I loved the deeper plot and the descriptive angles the author takes. Fights are more than fights in the book. The lightsaber fighting between Dooku, Obi and Anakin is handled quite well. We learn more about the deception they use on the Count through different sword styles. Descriptions of the space battles are easy to follow and quite fun.

The real reason I like this book so much is the fact that it's a book. Taking the story and giving us the reader a full blow account of the details in the plot. Something like this is very difficult to pull of in film and it's why films rarely sing on the screen in comparison.

Worth the read and very entertaining.

fluff

annakin's conversion to the dark side was not convincing. the corruption of the human is one of the most fascinating and one of the most difficult subjects in literature to portray but this film flops in its attempt. i am not a star wars fan. all star wars films have too much fighting but this film has the most. i enjoy the scenery, the grand scale and the monstrous characters but the dialogue always fails. there should have been more wrangling in the senate. my senses need feed. i feel my serum gushing through crysto-canyons, splashing against knife-rocks, surging amidst storms of obsidian. i feel green gargoyles fire-breathing in jumbo, their eyes aflame with shock. banshees, victims of the thrash-night, howl through my scapes, refusing submission until their demands are gratified in copia.
