William Shakespeare's The Force Doth Awaken by Ian DoescherMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A very good book, I enjoyed it, but there were parts of the book that was just seem a bit slow to me. This book also inherits the faults of the other book in this series. As much as things are added to the dialogue and story they cut the action and fight scenes (I hate that).
One thing is I did enjoy this book then that actual Force Awakens book. The Force Awakens book left out many of the lines from the movie. As the author says in the "Afterwords" watching the movie he kept thinking where to add an "aside" or more dialogue to add to the story. This I done incredibly well. I also like how some extra character were mentioned in this book, one from Aftermath series, and one going back to the New Hope. The is a bit of an inside joke of how similar the Force Awakens and a New Hope actually are. I also like the illustrations in the book, I like the art work but am not crazy about the costumes if the characters. Hat on droids, why?? I was glad the Chewie was given a translation in the notes, what I do not get is why not do this for BB 8 as well?
An all round good book, it does add to the movie for me but I do wish the fight were not cut down so much. I also think this does add a great foundation to the Last Jedi version of this series.
