by Alan Dean Foster
This is the first book adaptation of a film that I've read and the first I've ever wanted to. There are of course many Star Wars novels, none of which I've read. I wondered what sort of money-grabbing, hastily edited crap I might be delving into. Though in the opening pages there was some awkward la...
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS by Alan Dean Foster is the seventh book in the Star Wars: Novelizations series. It is the start of a new saga within the Star Wars universe, and is based on the events of the film. The story begins years after the events of Return of the Jedi with the return of some fami...
This book was such a huge disappointment -- just go see the movie. The writing was hit-or-miss; some parts were good others were just awful -- the action scenes were the worse.

When movies are made from books, the book is almost always better. When books are made from movies, it's generally the movies that come out on top.

No spoilers! As a novelization based off of the screenplay, this book doesn't quite have the impact of the movie, but it gives some interesting insights into the characters and their motivations. I really really liked being able to get inside Kylo Ren's head... He is honestly my favorite character...
I will forever be under the same spell as most Star Wars fans. I mean to say, slap a Star Wars sticker on the front of anything and I will stand in line for hours to buy it. This spell must also be the reason I don't entirety regret the 9 reading hours or $20 I spent on the book.I have to give Foste...
The novelization of the movie provides some further insight into the thoughts of some of the characters and adds some extra background information that the movie glanced on or ignored. But the book could've used an extra fifty pages or more because everything felt rushed and each scene just abruptly...
