Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (Abridged) Audiobook

" So I'm a nerd. Go fuck yourself. "

" Fortunately, by the time these came out, I could afford hardcovers. I didn't want to wait a year to read it. :) "

" Terry Brooks made the characters and their motivations really come alive. I which George Lucas could have done this good of a job. "

" It's Terry Brooks, based on the screenplay and story by George Lucas. Hardback. Natalie Portman as the princess on the cover. Why do all the princess type women in Star Wars have such absurd hair styles? And why were the prequels to the original trilogy all so bad? "

" This works better on paper than it does on screen. Although it's well written, the problem is that the story just isn't all that good. Jar Jar is still annoying, but Anakin less so. I liked the additional scenes in the early sections of the book. "

" One of the worst books on this trilogy. I got nothing from it. Of course the POV are good addition but I really hope for more. At least the movie was good. "

" This book was way better then the movie. Well written and better edited. "

" I feel that George Lucas had too short a leash on Terry....it seemed like he wrote straight from the script. It was alright, but didn't feel like a Terry Brooks novel. "

" I like it very much. I think it is better than Movie. "

" Brooks does a fantastic adaptation of "Star Wars: Episode 1"; perhaps even better than the film itself. "

" He did with this book that ol george lucas couldn't do. He cut out Jar Jar binks so that his part was only a small part and not the whole movie like george. Because of that it was a really good star wars book. I did enjoy it, truely. "

" Best book out there in the galaxy. "

" Haha I can't believe I read this. "

" I loved the book and film. The book and movie actually was a journey throughout my childhood. I've loved Star Wars since I wanted it for Christmas. This would be the best for kids of how fun their childhood actually is! "

" The adapted novel of the movie. This is probably better than the movie, but that's not saying much. "

" eh, the movie was better. lol "

" A surpisingly bland translation of the movie. I find that the early, CLone Wars era STAR WARS stuff is some of the most boring stuff I've ever read. This did nothing to dissuade me from that opinion, and frankly, I'm surprised that such a blandly wirtten book was done by Terry Brooks. "

" Should have loved it. Great mythology and a writer with a proven record of great mythologies. But it was merely a transcription of the film. At least I didn't have to watch "

" I liked it, but not as much as the movie. I think it was too much like the movie, but I did watch the movie first. If you have seen the movie, no sense in wasting your time on this book. "

" A faithful re-telling of the book, with a little more internal monologue. Fun, but turns out that it's not really a strong enough story to bear the kind of attention it gets without explosions to distract you. "

" great in site into the stories "

" The movies were extremely disappointing and the books were no exception. "

" better than the movie, but that is not saying much. "

" Pretty good, I guess. Star Wars just isn't my thing! "

" Well, the novelization improved slightly on a truly horrible, one-star movie, so that sounds like two stars to me. "

" I mostly read the action parts from the movie- this was written after the movie so there are no new great insights. The dialogue is pretty verbatum from the movie so it's not that exciting. "

" It was better than the movie. "

" I liked it because it was from the Star Wars universe, but it did not add much extra information about the characters or their personalities. "

" This book is good. It is very exciting. It has a lot of political content and war content. If you watched the movie, I think you will enjoy it more and understand it better. "

" Amazing book just like the movie!! "

" This book was way better then the movie. Well written and better edited. "

" I feel that George Lucas had too short a leash on Terry....it seemed like he wrote straight from the script. It was alright, but didn't feel like a Terry Brooks novel. "

" Aussi mauvais que le film, à mon avis. Lu parce que c'est Starwars. "

" Just like the movie, only a bit different. "

" eh, the movie was better. lol "

" It's a fairly decent book. If you've seen the movie then you've read the book basically, nothing is really different which isn't surprising since this came out after the movie. "
