Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
by Alexander Freed
I must be in the minority with this book. . .I was not impressed. I thought it was one of the weakest Star Wars novelizations I've ever read.
By weakest, I don't really mean that the writing was weak. The writing was fine, but I really dislike novelizations that don't really expand on the movie and this one didn't do so enough to keep me interested.
The inner thought of the characters didn't really tell me anything I didn't infer on my own by watching the film, with the possible exception of Bhodi Rook. I really wanted some back story about Cassian Andor and I'm really quite disappointed that it wasn't there. I like novelizations that contain extra material. This one hardly had any at all.
There were supplements throughout. Snippets of data salvaged from Imperial records, taken from Rebellion writings, etc. Although this information should have been interesting, it was terrible boring in the way it was presented. I didn't like how it pulled me out of the story.
