daphne2000 's review for:
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story
by Alexander Freed
I don't think I can objectively rate/review this book. I loved the film, and since this is a novelization of the film, I was pretty sure I would like it. I wasn't, however, expecting to love it as much as I did.
For some reason, I really like reading novelizations of films. I often found that novelizations don't add anything to the film, and it's basically like reading a script. Luckily, Rogue One wasn't like that. In the film, you get to know the characters, but you don't get to hear their thoughts, and you have to speculate on what their true motivations are. This novelization adds extra scenes that add depth to the characters, and there is a lot of internal monologue, so you really get to know the character's true feelings. I especially enjoyed learning more about Cassian and Krennic since they're both a bit mysterious in the movie.
Again, I can't objectively say if this was a good book or not, but I really enjoyed it :)

Just as a quick note, the ending killed me. Reading all those death scenes were just...rough. Especially the deaths of Chirrut and and Baze and K-2SO, and...well, I guess everyone. (Except for Krennic of course.)Again, I can't objectively say if this was a good book or not, but I really enjoyed it :)
