"Cool fighting (of course the fighting was cool, they're Jedi after all). The ending was very abrupt. There was the climax and then it was over. There's probably a follow up book."
"Star Wars The Cestus Deception By Steven Barnes 454 Pages United States Del Ray Book, Random House Publishing Group ISBN-10: 0-345-45898-2
Long ago in a galaxy far, far away... Star Wars continues. Another story during the Clone Wars unfolds as a government in bad economic conditions from Ord Cestus threatens to sell deadly droids. They send the legendary Obi-Wan Kenobi to the planet and start negotiations to prevent them from selling those droids. Or they will suffer the consequences and the Republic does not hesitate to take extreme measures if needed. Obi-Wan finds himself in a dilemma as he tries to resolve the problem while not breaking the code that we swore to follow. This book was good but not great. Throughout the story there were many instances where there was a lot of unnecessary detail being used. There was too many details which did not move the story along but in a way stalled the story and made everything longer. The good thing was the images they gave while there were major battle scenes. They gave you very vivid imagery which made you imagine the scene in your mind. What was good was that they kept the essence of the actual Star Wars Movies, though there are many parts that are not needed when they get into the battle scenes or the scenes with the most tension they kept to the same feel as Star Wars films. In all the book is ok but not great maybe taking out the parts that had to much detail could have made the story better, because there would be no big gaps between the good scenes. This is good for many Star Wars fans because this is what they love. But this isn't a great story there many parts that should be taken out, and gets boring after a while until it gets to the good parts. The good thing about this book is the battle scenes where you almost feel yourself on the battle field. Other than those scenes there is nothing really great about this book."
