Book associated with one of my favorite movies. Good detail, followed the movie well.
So much better than the movie, even thought it was based on the screenplay.
This book was really good, it is the 3rd book in what I call the Erso Trilogy. The trilogy starts in Catalyst, then continues in Rebel Rising, and concludes with Rogue One. The novel pretty much follows the movie, there are a few added things but nothing major. This book also leads you right into the next book in the Star Wars cannon Star War: From A Certain Point of View which I am reading now.
Better than most film adaptations actually adds to the characters.
If you've seen the movie you know what happens in this book. It does give more background and insight into the characters.
Awesome
I really enjoyed the film but think I enjoyed this book more, it have the characters more depth than was possible in the film and so added to a story I already liked.

Haven't seen movies in years, and have avoided Star Wars books, but I was bored. This was very simple, very standard, a true three star book. It tells the story of how the rebels got the plans for the Death Star. Very canned but the writing keeps it from being bad.
I really enjoyed the movie, and looked forward to reading the novelization AFTER seeing the movie.
With this novelization, we get to know the Rogue One ensemble a lot more, what's going through their heads, why they've chosen to do what they do, the main players - from Jyn, Cassian, Bodhi, Chirrut, and Baze to Mon Mothma, Orton Krennic and even Willhuff Tarkin - get fleshed out a lot more. This all adds to an enriched Rogue One experience in my opinion, as it slows the pace down a bit, allowing the characters to expand and grow more.
I also liked the Supplemental Data memos that were inserted between some of the chapters, adding a bit more depth to the story and characters.
I enjoyed 'Star Wars Battlefront: Twilight Company', also written by Alexander Freed, and he does an excellent job here as well. It's definitely right up there with 'Revenge Of The Sith' as Star Wars novelizations go.
Would definitely recommend reading this AFTER seeing the film, and if you can, AFTER reading the prequel novel 'Catalyst' by James Luceno too, as that sets up events for 'Rogue One'.

YES. a book centered on a woman wrestling with her personal demons thank god and gorgeous insight into cassian, baze, bodhi, a bit of chirrut. and saw. (and imperials, but whatever. I read catalyst and I see the threads but JYN.) some metaphors are overwrought but they're about jyn and actually dealing w trauma and using that and finding peace. so I'm good. honestly I'm great. that was great.
