baylie11 's review for:
The Last Jedi
by Jason Fry
I have many, many thoughts, and I hope this doesn’t come out as an incoherent mess.
Let me preface by saying that I am one of the minority people who enjoyed The Last Jedi. I liked the story. I didn’t think Luke’s anger towards the Jedi was that far fetched... I also love Kylo Ren. Most people say he is a weak character, Rey defeated him in TFA, he has no skill, shines a lot, blah blah blah. Luke is his uncle... OF COURSE he is going to be whiny! Did anyone actually see Luke in A New Hope? “Aweee Uncle Bee-eennnn...”. Anyways I should probably start talking about the book:
It was OK. Not the greatest written book. Many repetitive sentence starters and lack of transitions. However, it did well in that it added dialogue and depth to the story. I liked Luke’s part and hearing his inner dialogue.
Alas, this book could not save Finn and Rose. They were SO BORING. Those chapters felt like they went on and on and on. There was waaaay too much pining on both their parts (Finn for Rey, Rose for Finn). The film didn’t even blatantly say anyone was in love with anyone else, yet this book just took it over the top. Chill Rose, you’ve known him for like 36 hours. If that.
Some of the scenes had me skimming, and I felt the action scenes lacked for me. Overall, however, a decent Star Wars novelization. It wasn’t bad, it wasn’t good.
