This got a little long with its devotion to including every single line of the movie, it seems like. But that said, I liked the added soliloquies from the characters, especially Lando. Looking forward to The Jedi Doth Return.

Having experienced the first book as a joyful reading at a friend's birthday party, I felt that I would truly enjoy this one as well. I'm only slightly disappointed to say that I'm not Shakespeare's target audience in that I don't really get it. Mayhaps I have not seen it very often in it's true form, on the stage. However, I am definitely a child of the Star Wars era and through this medium I now understand what I have been missing. Conceivably, I must now begin a reading of the Bard's works, or at the very least (and perhaps more dire) see them performed.
Regardless, if you wish to become enamored with the flow of Shakespeare, and have even a passing understanding of this film, this book is not to be missed. Truly, a wonder!

This line alone warrents my four star rating:

Just as great as the first in the original trilogy, inspite of the "musical" scenes. Throwing book 3, The Jedi Doth Return on my TBR MT.
