As with the novelization of [b:Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker|818540|Star Wars From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker (Star Wars, #4)|George Lucas|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1317788781s/818540.jpg|123227], this story didn't give us any new details that we haven't seen in the movie. What we do get is more detail into Han's mind and a bit more detail into Luke's training with Yoda. The writing was fairly evocative, really got me into the story, and set up some images that I hadn't noticed from watching the movie. It was a quick and enjoyable read, that I wound up sharing with my young Star Wars loving son.

This was a very average novelization. Again, I don't feel like this novelization added much in the way of new information, character insight, or depth to the familiar scenes. It just appears to have been written exactly as was seen on screen. This is one of my favorite Star Wars stories though, so it was enjoyable nonetheless.

This novelization didn't have quite as many little surprises as the one for A New Hope. You get a little more insight into what the characters are thinking, and there are a few extended scenes, but it's mostly exactly that same as the film. I did enjoy reading it, and I feel that it was written better than A New Hope (this author didn't abuse his thesaurus), but--like with the movies--it just wasn't quite as good as its predecessor.
