Title: Cut out 100 pages, and its good
Review: I've read many of the Star Wars novels, and was excited about reading this continuation of the Phantom Menace, but the plot of the story took a tremendously long time to unfold. For about 100 pages, I was hoping for something to happen, only to be pummeled with useless facts and details about a people and planet I had little interest in. I expected the relationship between Anakin and Obiwan to develop, and at times it did. These were the best parts of the book. I was hoping to gain an insite into Anakin's mind, and at times I did. Unfortunately, there was that middle section that did little of either. Anakin likes to go fast and he has a lot of potential. This obvious fact was told to the reader with irritating frequency. It was a great novel at 150 pages, but hard to get through at 250.
