World of Reading Star Wars Trapped in the Death Star! (Level 2) by The Walt Disney Company

adventurous funny hopeful inspiring lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

4.0

I rated this book 4 stars because of the possibility of me picking it back up to reread. I flew through the book, it was a simplistic and easy read for me as an adult but I can understand how this World of Reading book in particular may be difficult for the kids it’s marketed at to follow and read. The story seems to jump around a lot from event to event to summarize a lot of events from a time period into a few pages for this book, when they deserve and are meant to have more page time. I overall enjoyed the book and the relaxing feeling it gave me as a summary of the escape from the Death Star in A New Hope, but I did however think the generalization of the word “heroes” was used to describe Han, Leia, Chewbacca and Luke far too much and far too many times in the book, on way too many different pages. It kind of got annoying and repetitive after a while. But if you overlook that, it was an enjoyable read. The art looked even more complex than the last World of Reading book I’ve read, and the little details and varying colors appear hard to manage, so I believe props to the artist and illustrator of this World of Reading book in particular compared to all the rest. I’d pick up this story again to read it again for a more relaxing time in the Star Wars universe while at the same time staying accurate to canon and also to absorb more of the information and artwork more thoroughly and fully.
