Rating:  Summary: MUST READ AND READ AGAIN!!! Review: The Trilogy continues and is better than the first. I have to say that it is my favorite book. Anderson is good at using from the movies to make it seem more like a continuation of the origanal three. If you have read Jedi Search and liked the well thought out plot of the book you would love this book with it's great cliffhanging end which brings you to want to read the next book "Champions of the force".THe new charerctors explain parts of the movies that were hard to understand like for example in the movies the Emperor had no female officers and the book explains that he did not think women were qualified. The new superwhepon is a great plan and the new charector Kyp Durron is wonderfull. The plot is great having good turn bad. It always is good to have the second book in a Trilogy to end as a cliff hanger like this it brings you to want to read more. This New York Times Bestselling trilogy is amazing. I started other books like "Before the Storm" anotherStar Wars Novel but only Kevin J. Anderson cathes my intrest.
Rating:  Summary: I think this book has an exellant story line! Review: This book is a great seqaul to Kevin J. Andersons first book in the Jedi Acadamy Triligy, Jedi Search. It is interesting and exiting. A real Page turner!!!
Rating:  Summary: What Happens To The Fish-Head?!?! Review: After reading the first book, I was on an edge to find out what happened to my favourite character, Admiral Ackbar. I enjoyed the book so much I read it in 8 hours, almost non-stop. An excellent read, KJA is a an in-valuable part of the star wars writing team with an apparent talent to write very informative, fast paced books. The whole Trilogy is an in-valuable source of information pivotal to the SW book range.
Rating:  Summary: This book was soooo good! Review: I thought this book was excellent. Kyp Durron is such a great character and the end is so exciting you just have to read the last of the trilogy. I especially like Jacen and Jaina and Admiral Daala (who is a woman Imperial, which is great). Read this book!
Rating:  Summary: The Force still isn't with Kevin J. Anderson Review: I'll admit that this was a better book than "Jedi Search," but that still doesn't save it from a one-star rating. The plot, while slightly more thought out than "Jedi Search," is still mundane and predicatable and doesn't offer anything beyond the cliches of other Star Wars novels of similar caliber. (Just how many superweapons are out there, anyway?) Anderson still does not have a foothold on the characters his stories revolve around. Luke and Han and all the rest of the regulars are portrayed so blandly you'll hardly recognize them. And Anderson's "new" characters really aren't new; they're just stock characters lifted from other stories and given new names. I guess Anderson thought we wouldn't notice. Anderson's dialouge continues to leave much to be desired. When his characters talk to one another, it's either plot exposition or quoting catch lines from the Trilogy. "I have a bad feeling about this," "Never tell me the odds," etc. I guess this kind of mindless regurgitation is what passes for creativity these days. There are Star Wars fans who will tell you that the Jedi Academy trilogy is worth reading just to learn the characters and plot elements that are referenced in other books. If such is your atttitude, I recommend skipping straight to part three of this trilogy, "Champions of the Force." Despite what some readers will tell you, you don't really have to read the first two books to understand the third. The characters and storyline are pretty straight forward and Anderson rehashes the plot often enough for you to figure out what's going on. If you aren't quite so interested in the ongoing Star Wars universe of Bantam Spectra and just want to read a decent Star Wars book, I'd like to recommend "Heir to the Empire" by Timothy Zahn. Once you've read Zahn's trilogy, Anderson's can be better seen for what it is.
Rating:  Summary: STAR WARS AT IT'S BEST!!!!!!!! Review: This book is better than Jedi Search. There's a lot more action and excitement. Exar Kun was one of the reasons I like this book is better. By infuencing Kyp and having him delve dangerously toward the Dark Side was great. I think putting Admiral Daala in Jedi Search made Dark Apprentice exciting.
Rating:  Summary: A great book that you won't put down Review: The adventures that the characters embark on are wonderfully told. The emergence of Exar Kun and all his powers and teachings make this a must read.
Rating:  Summary: A very exciting book. Review: I thought this book was one of the best books I have ever read. i think the author has a very good imagination. I also showed real talent while writing this book. If you don't like this book you wouldn't like any Star Wars books. I thought I had alot of cliff hangers. So if you don't like cliffhangers don't read this book. But I really encorage everyone else to read this book.
Rating:  Summary: This book seemed very realistic, decsriptive, and adventrous Review: Luke starts the Jedi Academy when the Sith kills one of his students. Then when he gets a replacement for that student, that student discovers the Sith. Then,in what seems like the final battle, Luke's light sabre gets tainted with the Sith, and Luke is about to be struck down, then the book ends!!!
Rating:  Summary: A must for all Star Wars fans! Review: This was one of the first Star Wars books I ever read, and I loved it! It really keeps you on the edge of your seat!
