DESCRIPTION:
Modern marketing has made movie novelizations a necessary evil and hence suspect, but Terry Brooks proves a deft embellisher of Lucas's well-loved epic, skillfully splicing in scenes and dialogue to fill out the breakneck, foreshadowing-filled story line of Phantom Menace. Although he does sound a bit like a well-meaning dad doing an impression of the gangly amphibian for his kids, that added bit of restraint and unaffected goofiness actually works. Alexander Adams, the actor who reads this full-length novelization of Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace, actually manages to do Jar Jar better than Jar Jar himself. (Only Anakin proves a little hard on the ears at first, perhaps a little too nasal.) The book's nar
His only hope lies in his extraordinary instincts and his strange gift for understanding the "rightness" of things, talents that allow him to be one of the best pod racers on the planet. In another part of the galaxy, the Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn and his apprentice, young Obi-Wan Kenobi, are charged with the protection of Amidala, the young Queen of Naboo, as she seeks to end the siege of her planet by Trade Federation warships. At last the saga that captured the imagination of millions turns back in time to reveal its cloaked origins--the start of a legend--the story of STAR WARS.

And it is this unexpected meeting that marks the beginning of the drama that will become legend An
Expands on the film, but not by much Stormraven24 I’m going to come right out and say it without a lot of puttering around: I was disappointed by this book. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it for what it was, but it left a lot to be desired for me. I go into novelizations expecting more depth and substance to the cinematic co. this actually read like a real book and not like a screenplay trying I was so excited to read this before the movie because I wanted to know what was going to happen and couldn't wait for the movie to come out. I was also impressed that unlike the Star Wars trilogy that had been released bound together, this actually read like a real book and not like a screenpla. Fun read! Not really sure why I decided to start reading StarWars novels, this one seemed like a decent point to start. It was fun!
