Star Wars: Boba Fett - The Fight To Survive
The first book of a series aimed at younger readers telling of Boba's adventures during the Clone Wars. I will
start by saying that I have probably given these books a rating higher than they truly warrant, but I am a big fan of Boba's
character and I was exceptionally pleased to read familiar events told from his point of view, as well as some of his
early history. This particular book begins within 'Attack Of The Clones' and around the first two thirds deals with
Boba's point of view of things like Jango's fight with Obi-Wan, the execution arena and Jango's death. Bisson then takes
us into new territory as Boba flees Geonosis and attempts to find a new place for himself in the galaxy. I enjoyed Boba's
naievete and his reliance on the pearls of wisdom from an interactive book left for him by Jango. This book's major
downside however, is that because it is aimed at quite a young audience, the prose is simplistic, short and in a ridiculously
large font. These things mean that (probably quite rightly) this book will be overlooked by adult Star Wars fans, which
is a shame because it has some truly worthwhile story content.
4 out of 5
'Rain.'
Star Wars: Boba Fett - Crossfire
The second book of Boba's adventures during the Clone Wars. The book begins with Boba in the custody of Count Dooku
on Raxus Prime and ties strongly into 'The Clone Wars' computer game. I liked reading Boba's reaction to encountering
his father's clones (his own brothers to a certain degree), as well as his first encounter with a Jedi since seeing Mace
Windu behead his dad. Following a stint masquerading as a refugee, Boba arrives on Bespin where he is approached by
the bounty hunter Aurra Sing, who offers him a deal. I always enjoy seeing familiar elements getting revisited and Cloud
City fulfills that nicely. This book has the same strengths and weaknesses as it's predecessor, great plot elements
but prose too juvenile to be satisfying to a serious reader. Basically, only for fans who have to know all the stories
of the Galaxy Far, Far Away (people like me, for instance!).
