I know people here have read it, but the search function is pretty borked right now. That said, I heard very little positive about the book. Very little indeed. |

I keep hearing that it doesn't have the "feel" of a Star Wars book...so it's possible that the complaints come from hard core Warsies. |

Were all fans of the dead films in one way or another and not everyone of them that we have liked has met with the highest reviews. However that shouldn't stop you from at least checking it out from your local library. I haven't read it in awhile, around a year. However I do remember that it wasn't terrible. it's an attempted blending of two different genre's so that always comes with a few snags. maybe I'll re read it and post a detailed review for you guys. Sorta like when I did one for some utter drivel book awhile ago. |

I listened to the audio version. I'm not a huge star wars fan but i did like the idea of zombies in such a universe. I would say this of the book, it was good but would have been if it wasn't set in the star wars mythos. If it would have been written as non-affiliated sci-fi and certain aspects in the beginning were expanded upon for effect it would have been a fantastic read rather than just good. If you find yourself with a little extra cash pick it up, or more than a little buy the audio version (it was narrated well). |
avoid it like the plague, its absolutely terrible fan service trash, like adding han solo and chewbacca just because and having them be completely different to how the are in everything else. the story is dull, boring and poorely written. like i said, avoid it. |

And this is the biggest problem with the EU. |

say, anyone ever compared jar jar binks to big daddy? both were included in the new films to give the audiences something to connect to, and both were total failures and are pretty much universally detested by all fans of the original films. |
Yeah, I'm sure the Big Daddy=Jar Jar Binks comparison is common knowledge now. |
It's on my list of things to read... Just not got around to it yet... |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
