Matthew Stover took an already heartbreaking story and made it a million times more heartbreaking. This book was So good, it added so much to what I already loved from the movie. This was one of the funniest and most heartbreaking books ive ever read. Such a Good novelization of revenge of the sith!!! If you like star wars, heartbreaking stories, complicated brother relationships, complicated love all around, the finding of hope, the tradgedy of losing it, you should read this book!!!!

I really love this adaptation. Revenge of the Sith has always been my favorite Star Wars movie, and this book highlighted all the things I love without most of the things I don't. The only flaws it has, I would say, are ones from the original film. I can't give 5 full stars to something that does Padmé so dirty, though. ("This is what it's like to be Padmé Amidala.... she is Anakin Skywalker's wife." Please stop doing this to her I'm begging.)
