A review by mpetruce
Star Wars: The Force Awakens by Alan Dean Foster

2.0

I've read a lot of movie novelizations. I imagine this one is what the Descriptive Audio For The Vision Impaired feature sounds like on the DVD for The Force Awakens. In the past the Star Wars novelizations had a little inner dialogue, some extra dimension, even scenes that were never in the movies that enhanced the understanding of the movie. But this is mostly -- not completely, but mostly -- what feels like a recitation of what happened on the screen. Foster is a great writer, so I'm wondering if he had a lot of rules to work under.

Now, the bonus of having a franchise property like this is that the audiobook narration is pretty good, and has the added bonus of being fully produced, with the original score, sound effects, explosions, BB-8, all of it. It is very entertaining. So, extra star for that.
