Short repeat of the film but I think I will pick up other Star Wars books and give them a try.

Enjoyable read with the little guy. Another perspective on the Force Awakens story that allowed more insight into Rey.

My son liked the comic book panel style and the little asides added a touch of humor.

This felt too much like I was watching the movie and kept falling asleep. It's a shortening of the story focused only from her perspective. If you hadn't seen the movie you'd have no idea what was going on. It's abbreviated to the point of being detrimental.

Very nice, simple telling of the story from Rey's point of view and perfect for junior readers' comprehension.

Basically this is the book adaptation of the movie The Force Awakens completely from Rey's point of view. Light and fun.

Read this because it's in my school library and it was available on audio. I can see how a die-hard fan would enjoy it. I saw the movie, and it pretty much followed the movie exactly.

OK, this is a book aimed at younglings - and i suppose that will work well. The only problem i can see, is it doesn't expand on the story, and misses somethings out. I know these younglings can have attention span issues.
This is the Force Awakens from the point of view of Rey only. A strong female role model for the young girls, which should be celebrated. Because of the single POV, some elements go missing in the overall story.
Another one checked off the list of Canon Star Wars books to read.
