Scoundrels by Timothy Zahn
2.0

Is 200 pages of setup worth a 100 page reward? If these were any other characters besides Star Wars characters, I'd say probably not. But loving Timothy Zahn as I do, I can't say anything too bad about the book. It was definitely fun. And I love getting another look into the lives of our favorite Star Wars bad boys. But would I have read it if the main characters weren't Han, Chewie, and Lando? Probably not. Regardless, the end was very clever, very fun, and you couldn't put it down. But it took a while to get to that point. One more qualm: the huge twist at the end (at the VERY end...you'll understand if you've read) didn't seem to fit. Not at all. That twist was a little disappointing.
