Praise for Star Wars: The Force Awakens
 
“Like all the best novelizations, Alan Dean Foster’s adaptation of Star Wars: The Force Awakens enriches the movie experience. The novel goes beyond simply giving us insight into the characters’ thoughts, with plenty of additional scenes painting a broader picture of the galaxy.”—New York Daily News
 
“Fast-moving, atmospheric and raises goose-bumps at just the right moments. [Foster] not only evokes entire onscreen worlds . . . he also gives us glimpses of an even more vast, unseen universe.”The Washington Post
 
“Was my experience of the film enriched by the book? Yes. No question. Is the novelization worth reading? Yes. . . . Foster has written a book that captures the spirit of the film, while presenting additional information that helps answer some of the questions that linger.”Coffee with Kenobi.

I have a real soft spot for books associated with movies and TV shows. I like to read novels made into film (usually before seeing the film). I like novelizations of films. I like tie-in books. This goes back at least as far as 1977 when, after going to the theatre to see Star Wars the first two times, I bought, devoured and enjoyed the novelization of it, attributed to George Lucas, but actually written by Alan Dean Foster.

Flash forward (mumble) years and there's a new Star Wars movie and a new novelization by Mr. Foster. I had to read it. I had to get it as soon as it came out. But something's wrong here. Everything from the screen is on the page, but not much more. And it's written so clumsily and sloppily that it's almost a chore to get through. Granted, the author was not working from the final cut of the movie and probably didn't have a lot of time. But he has some experience with tie-in novels of all sorts. I expected much more.

I also expected a bit more editing. Consider this gem, which is definitely not even the most egregious: "Hurrying to the cockpit as BB-8 rolled into the copiloting position, he hurriedly activated the controls." That's a lot of hurrying. There's also a lot of "as so-and-so does this, such-and-such does the other thing." Also, a lot of fancified language used for both narrative and dialog that does nothing to enhance the story, but often knocks the reader out of it. Why "aural receptors" or "bipedal shapes"? Is "raptorish" a word?

But the biggest gripe I have with the writing is the uninhibited head-hopping and viewpoint jumping that takes place. This is third-person omniscient at its worst. We are inside Finn's head, even when he is supposed to be the anonymous "trooper". In the next sentence, we are inside Kylo Ren's head, behind "preternaturally intense" eyes (hidden by the mask) considering "the trooper". It's just too much.

All in all, I am disappointed. If you've seen the film, skip the book. You already know everything. The one, tiny tidbit that I got from the book that was hinted at even more lightly in the film is the barest insinuation that other characters begin to recognize that Rei might be someone they have heard of before. Consider, '"It is you" Ren murmured.' (when Rei takes up the light saber). Otherwise, you have been warned. 3 stars. Because… Star Wars. ( )

Muchas cosas que faltan de la película y otras tantas que no suceden en la película.
No me gustó mucho como está contado. Me gustaría que tenga mas detalles.

Before I go too far, I'm a Star Wars fanatic, one since 1977, saw ANH 77 times (!) in a theater, ESB 18 times, even RotJ 6 times, and TPM, well around 20, so don't tell me I don't know my Star Wars. Played the CCG fanatically, had a decent number of the better toys. However, at the same time, I'm a fan of quality. I've read several SW books that were just plain bad and I'm not such a fanatic that I'm obsessed with the entire SW expanded universe, the bit I know well only coming from the CCG. So basically it's the septilogy (is that a word?) of films and beyond that the bits and pieces that grabbed my interest for other reasons that interest me. Others know I am a bit of a literary snob at times, a sort of greaseball intellectual, and overall rather geeky too. Enough preface.

I bought this strictly because I thought, IMHO if you will, the The Force Awakens is finally the film Star Wars disciples deserved. It sits firmly behind ESB and ANH for me and far above AotCl etc. Where I'm going is I only bought this because the quality of the reboot piqued my interest in gleaning a little more detail about this fascinating reboot and the fact that the movie is quite a gem in itself. That said, for giving me more of a good thing, a one star boost. On the other hand, I have to say, the writing is only about pre-YA level and the metaphor about worthy of C grade pulp. Knowing a little about [a:Alan Dean Foster|11735|Alan Dean Foster|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1207233026p2/11735.jpg] this didn't really surprise me.

I know they want to keep this accessible for the kiddies too, but as little as I'm enamored with Harry Potter, the level of writing there is pretty good and still accessible to, and enchanting to, children. I've read [b:Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace|34941|Star Wars, Episode I The Phantom Menace (Star Wars, #1)|Terry Brooks|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349115978s/34941.jpg|3304766] by [a:Terry Brooks|9629|Terry Brooks|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1280785812p2/9629.jpg] and this is a much better book with much weaker source material to work with. So only two stars for the writing here.

Space opera with pre-set dopey dialogue can be tough to work with but other authors have done a better job and certainly a few of the SW books where the requirement wasn't the slavish subordination to a pre-existing film have risen above the rabble. Not here though. A shaky three stars.

But still, hey it's Star Wars, how can that be all bad? ( )

I’ve mentioned that we have seen Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens a few times in the theatre. So far, it has been three times. Tomorrow, Sunday, we are seeing it for the fourth and last time in the theatres. AMC is only offering four promotional prints, and I think it has been amazing to see the types of records a film of this has broken already.

When I heard there was a novelization that filled in some of the movie’s more noticeable holes, I preordered (back in 2015, of all things!) and got it yesterday, despite a copious delay from the USPS (I think it had to do with weather). Anyway, it is safe in my hands, and read to boot!

Rather than spoil things for those who might not have seen the movie, I am going to keep it very vague. But, I will tell you that reading this book is a MUST for any Star Wars fan, or any of those who may have questions about the film, itself. I was impressed by how much seemed to be edited out (probably for time) and that made sense when superimposing the book’s text or dialogue with the movie. I cannot stress how many questions (apart from the big one) that the novelization by Alan Dean Foster answers.

It is a dark time, as the First Order readies a weapon that will most certainly destroy any planets that disagree with their policies and procedures. But there is hope, in the form of a small map that will point the way to the Last Jedi, Luke Skywalker. And, as Skywalker disappeared years ago, the First Order (and Kylo Ren, a Sith on the verge of bringing back the mantle of Darth Vader) uses all available resources to find the map. But, as the droid carrying it befriends two humans who partake a quest to get the droid back to the Rebellion, the window to the First Order finding Skywalker gets smaller and smaller. Will the Rebellion triumph, or with the darkness of the Sith overpower the small, scattered group of rebels?

Alan Dean Foster is well-known within the sci-fi and fantasy genre, and I can’t think of someone more prepared for writing the novelization (with one or two exceptions). However, this novelization appears to be fantastic and a true treat for any Star Wars fan. Pick it up in hardcover, ebook or audio format from your favorite retailer today. You won’t be sorry!
