DID NOT FINISH: 19%

There's nothing wrong with this book. That being said, I didn't really like it and I certainly don't get the hype. The sections with the characters we know - Han, Luke, Leia, etc, - are mediocre. The sections with Thrawn and the Empire are by far the best, with Thrawn being a very interesting character. The book would have been much better had he been the main character.
