A review by rachel_abby_reads
The Force Awakens by Alan Dean Foster
2.0
"It was ok" still seems like lavish praise. It was written as if he watched the movie and frantically described what he was seeing. There was no examination of inner motivations, there was no heart, and there were often turns of phrase that made me stop and say "What was that?"
I read the novelizations for more depth. The novelization of Attack of the Clones is a great example: the development of romance between Padme and Anakin isn't quite so rushed and incomprehensible, and the contrast in mentoring relationships between Jango and Boba Fett and Anakin and Obi-Wan really sets the stage for the plausibility of the seduction of Anakin by Palpatine.
Anyway. This was lame. So two stars is kind of generous.
