I consider Revenge of the Sith my favorite movie. It's not the best movie I've seen, but I think it's a compelling and fascinating story, even if it's not always told in the best way.
This novelization takes that compelling story and gives it the fantastic execution it deserves. Stover's writing style is beautiful and evocative, a real treasure to read. He takes full advantage of the added insight into characters that the novel from allows to enhance the tragedy of ROTS, giving the characters even more depth and fleshing out their motivations and personality traits.
If you liked ROTS, you should definitely read this to see a new, deeper take on a familiar story. If you didn't like ROTS, you should still read this to appreciate the underlying meaning and potential behind the movie that drives many fans to appreciate it. Stover is an incredibly gifted writer, and I hope to read his other Star Wars books eventually as I've heard they're just as good.
