[QUOTE="Water Bob, post: 6789131, member: 92305"] Really. Wow. That certainly is not the consensus among the 772 reviews on Amazon (giving it an average 4.5 out of 5). As I said above, I thought the book was brilliant--probably the best Star Wars book I've ever read. I loved so many things about it. I like how it shows how hard it is to recruit a Sith. Darth Vader's journey took over a decade. In this book, we see how others were turned to the Dark Side, Palpatine among them. I loved how he allows for midichorians but still keeps the mystery in the Force. The Force is still fascinating with lots of unknown. And, I loved the long-term, multi-year scheming on the part of Plagueis and Palpatine. The part of the Trade Federation is illuminated. We see how the Galactic Banking Clan has its fingers deep into behind-the-scenes Galactic Politics. We see how Repulic slowly starts to be eaten from the inside out--truly the seeds of the Republic's fall. When Palpatine wipes out his entire family--wow. I was blown away. What a scene. It's just a great book, imo. [/QUOTE]
