Title: Nice script, poor development into a novel
Review: The way I see it, George Lucas wrote a nifty script and Chris Claremont tried to turn it into a novel, but gave up after his first draft. There are so many disjunct segments that don't flow into the next segment. Lots of nice descriptions, but the plot isn't carried along well. There's even a cut-and-paste paragraph 3/4 through the book that was used 1/4 of the way into the book. And the Braveheart reference brought me right out of the book to roll my eyes. I just couldn't get into a book that uses another story from a totally different genre and can't carry the plot along. I faithfully read the whole thing, complaining all the while... my husband tore up the book when I finished it and threw it in the recycling box. I wasn't heart broken at all. I wouldn't want others to waste their time.
Is the review positive or negative?
