A review by a_chickletz
The Hutt Gambit by A.C. Crispin
2.0
This book really had me spinning.
I wanted to re-write the story. The story itself was cool. The dialogue for Han Solo and everybody else was god-damn-awful. This is what you get when someone decides to heavily base their dialogue off of what you hear Han Solo say in the films... even to the point where it's lifted word-for-word. Another reviewer made a comment saying that the fault with this (and these) book(s) is that they never seem to 'develop' Han or Han never comes out naturally. He's horribly forced to the point where he seems too much like a bland copy of his film self.
All of Han Solo's girlfriends are one-dimensional nobodies that when they enter the scene and leave him you can't tell the difference who was who. EXCEPT BRIA. BRIA IS SO ANNOYING. The fact that Han fell for her is just crazy. She literally has nothing interesting about her and turns Han into a mopy bratty prince of smugglers.
All the characters were completely off from their film counterparts. Don't get me started on how Boba Fett was 'captured' by Lando and Han at one point. Like Boba Fett would mess up like that? Bull.
I gotta finish this series because I already invested my time into it. I'm not looking forward to the last book.
