Review: Shades Of Luke Skywalker
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 1, 2014
A case could be made for rating this book at any level of stars.  The editing is almost right on.  There is plenty of action.  Once you get the feel for the author you pretty much know what's going to happen.  At least there are very few surprises.  But sometimes you want to just lose yourself in the fantasy.  And fantasy it is.  Don't expect realism.  If this were realistic, the hero would have been dead in the first chapter.  (Give or take.)  Most of us don't want realism; we want the good guys to win.  And here they do.  Except, of course, for the (predictable, given the hints throughout) Star Wars ending.  If rating on originality then this book would be givena one or two star rating.  For those who don't like the serial/soap opera type stories, this could very well rate low.  For those who just want an exciting, easy read, it rates high.  I wouldn't pay newsstand prices for it, but for a couple bucks to while away a few hours...why not?
