Death Star by Steve Perry, Michael Reaves
3.0
- I've always wanted to read a Star Wars book, but I never knew where to start, and I was a bit intimidated. Well, I finally picked one and read it!
- The beginning was very dry and very slow. I wasn't sure if I was going to finish the book, but I kept going, and slowly it became more and more interesting.
- There are a lot of characters, and it takes a long time to learn the characters and for them to start interacting with each other. Most of the book, I wondered why these characters were important, and why I should care about them. Now that I've finished the book, I'm still wondering why I should care about them.
- Darth Vader and Tarkin were the most interesting people to read about. I already knew who they were, and I why they were important. Plus, they are the ones that intermingled with the part of the story that converges with A New Hope.
- I liked getting to know Tarkin better. His character intrigues me, and he was interesting to read about.
- The story really took off for me during Part 2. That is when A New Hope starts, and I loved seeing the Empire's side of the story.
- The writing is very dry, and it took me a while to get used to. Once I was used the writing, the book became more enjoyable.
- Overall, I'm glad and proud that I finished this book, but I probably wouldn't read it again.
