MEDIA REVIEWS
Fantastic collection of storiesOne of the best Star Wars books released this year(...) With a range of styles and characters,there's a lot here to talk about. The From A Certain Point of View series,tied around the 40th anniversary of each movie,continues to be a fun event and a way to see Star Wars takes from some of today's top authors. If you liked the A New Hope installment,you'll get a lot of bang for your buck from the second book.If you love Star Wars then this book is for you. I personally can't wait for the Return of the Jedi edition... an excellent Christmas/Hannukah gift for any Star Wars fan out there.Absolutely recommend it...the work that has gone into this is outstanding...the selection of authors is wonderful,diverse,a lot of different voices to be heard
