Well after seeing the movie 4 times, I decided the time was right to start reading the novel. The way in which Stover portrays the movie is AMAZING. He adds soo much more depth to the characters. It's interesting knowing what is passing through Anakin's head during Palpatine's seduction in his office, or getting a glimpse into the small talk between Mace, Yoda, and Obi-wan prior to all the mess. As opposed to the movie, I felt a real sense of tear on Anakin's part, being streched between the Chancellor and the Jedi. Maybe it was because I was spoiled going into Episode III I won't be able to know. But the book is really a great read...it adds so much more depth to it, and the dialogue between characters is so much more smoother. Maybe its because its indeed a book and not live actors, but I almost wish Lucas had consulted this book be4 putting in the exact dialogue to his script...buut that couldn't happen, and it never will haha. A man can have dreams though.

But if you haven't read the novelization, I would highly suggest you pick it up right away! It's more than just reading the movie again!!

(and be4 i get a slew of comments asking if i'm reading the kids version because of the pic >...its the only ROTS book they had haha, so yes i am reading the adult novel by stover)
