sharonrosenbergscholl 's review for:
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
by Alan Dean Foster
No spoilers.
But this was just so great. There are voices and sound effects that make such good use of the audiobook medium. And it was so interesting to read after the movie because there are deleted lines and scenes. But also it gives a different slant on some of the scenes that were the same, because you get to hear what characters are thinking, and also sometimes the way things are described gives more insight to some aspects of the plot of the movie.
I am usually a very staunch book-before-movie person. But in this case I do recommend the movie first. The story was written to be a movie and while the book is great and I highly recommend it, I recommend it as a follow up to the movie. So many of the twists and turns are surprises are meant to be experienced visually and I think something would be lost from the experience in this particular case from reading the book first.
But do read the book. And especially if you can, in audiobook format.
