"This review will encompass the entire trilogy, but I found these books greatly interesting as Han Solo was not well explained in the films. These books provide an interesting look at what formed the Han Solo we see in ANH. Definitely recommend any Star Wars fan to read this trilogy. "

" Loved it. I loved finding out how Han Solo was brought into the Star Wars Universe. "

" A young Han Solo and the adventures of (and resulting from) his first job as a pilot on Ylesia. Crispin perfectly captures the psyche of the young Solo flawlessly, and by the end of the book you can see how he became the man of the Classic Trilogy. "

" Oh Han Solo, thank God you were not ruined in 1, 2, and 3. "
— Eric, 1/31/2011 -
" Loved this book! A great adventure unfolds along with one of the greatest characters in the Star Wars universe. If you're a fan of Star Wars and a fan of Han Solo, you'll want to read this book just to see how it all began. "
— Jeffrey, 1/24/2011 -
" Who isn't a fan of Han Solo, the greatest character in the Star Wars Universe. This was his life story - from when he was an orphan living on the streets up to the time he met Luke Skywalker and Ben Kanobi at the Cantina on Mos Eisly. Great Story. Great Trilogy. "
— Max, 11/20/2010 -
" I really enjoyed the early adventures of Han Solo. In this book you learn Han's background and how he became the heroic smuggler we all know and love. "
— AJ, 11/18/2010 -
" This is the beginning of Han Solo, gives you some background into how he was raised, and what led him to being a pirate. Good story for the fans. "
— Anthony, 11/5/2010 -
" This was a really good read. <br/>It was nice to know more abbout Han Solo story. <br/>A bit sad for this guy. "
— Gabriel, 7/12/2010 -
" I read a lot of Star Wars novels in Jr. High. It took a few dozen books before I realized many of them just weren't all that stellar. Ah, well, I'll squirrel away the memories on the internet and free up a book shelf. "
— Richard, 4/9/2010 -
" A little stunted in flow, but then again I never did like Crispin's writing style. Still a decent read, but not cerebral in the least. Also, some contradictions with the later books' plots, although bringing back a few of the lesser known storylines is a nice touch. "
— Lindsey, 2/26/2010
