Perfect!

Continuing the trend of novelizations of the prequel trilogy outshining their films, R. A. Salvatore's adaptation of Attack of the Clones is a must-read for any Star Wars fan. Salvatore's novelization adds much-needed depth to the main characters, both personally and in developing relationships. This book also adds some much needed pacing to the overall story. Like The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones benefits greatly from its novelization. For any Star Wars fan, this is a must-read.

So you think you don’t like Episode II? That’s ok. Read this book instead. Salvatore’s novelization is an extremely well-written, fully-realized take on the story of the 2002 film. As a movie, well, you can decide how you feel about it. But there’s not a shadow of a doubt that this is an enjoyable book – I couldn’t put it down. Salvatore is able to weave the romance, action, political maneuvering, tragedy, and characterization together into a convincingly thrilling ride toward the collapse of the Old Republic. Reading, rather than watching, these events unfold is a much more satisfying journey because it allows the reader to enter the minds of the characters, to get glimpses beyond the scenes of the movie, and to invest more time attempting to comprehend the jam-packed plot. As a huge fan of Star Wars literature, I am very glad that I finally got around to reading this one. I’ll place it as a top-tier Star Wars book. It was truly a page-turner and (mostly) made up for what I have always perceived to be the shortcomings of the film on which it is based.

Definitely 1 of the best Star Wars novels I have ever read. I loved how all of the deleted scenes were included, specifically the ones at Padmé's parents house. I enjoyed every moment. It was a pleasure to read.

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones was a very enjoyable read. Even after having seen the movie probably a dozen times, I still found this novel very entertaining and engrossing. Nobody can tell Star Wars like its creator, George Lucas. R.A. Salvatore did a fine job of adapting Lucas's masterpiece into a novel and I love that the book stays on track with the movie. Matthew Stover's Revenge of the Sith had quite a few differences from the movie and I found that to be somewhat distracting. I saw only a tiny amount of typos in this book. The only thing that seemed odd was the scene in which Obi-Wan Kenobi fights Jango Fett on Kamino. In the movie Fett is wearing his full body armor in the scene, including the helmet, and it is clearly stated that this is the case in the novel. However, when the bounty hunter and Obi-Wan are sliding over the side of the landing pad and towards the raging ocean below, it is noted that Jango has a strange smile on his face. That seems not quite right, since Obi-Wan obviously can't see Fett's face under the hunter's helmet. Besides that, everything was just perfect. This novel is the true definition of a classic and I really enjoyed it-even more than Terry Brook's "The Phantom Menace" and Matthew Stover's "Revenge of the Sith". Of course it's absolutely essential to the Star Wars EU and I recommend it to casual Star Wars readers and hardcore fans alike.

this book is the best
