So You Want to Be a Jedi?

This is not what I expected after listening to the first book in the series. The book follows Luke's perspective for most of the book–in second person perspective. In other words, you get to experience the story as Like Skywalker. I found it a bit odd at first, but I found it to be an interesting, fresh perspective.

I believe the reader is the same performer at the first book, continuing a top notch performance with character voices and bringing energy to the story telling. One thing that I took some exception to early on is that the author does not follow the dialogue in the movie exactly. A bit jarring when one gets different words than expected in well known sequences.

Overall, the author captures the spirit of the story and presents it in a package that my ten year old self would have loved. (Although I would have complained more about the dialogue changes back then!)
