So I was just at Barnes and Noble and in the frond door there's a stand of Force Unleashed novels. Has anyone read this?
I would've picked one up but a novel based on a video game sounds like guaranteed crap, but I keep thinking that the "vader's secret apprentice" concept has potential to be a good story. I never read any of the star wars novels but I do like sci-fi novels.
Anyone have any opinions on this book or on Star Wars books in general?
 
it was ok ,but as far as star wars books go the story and character development were rather amateur attempts ,still not a bad read though

Nobody reads here? Or was I just correct to assume the book is crap?

Nah, it's just there doesn't seem to be any hope for Forced Unleashed for PC and you'll probably have to discuss books at GenMay instead of the PC gaming forum. :confused:
 
Oh crap!! I thought I put this in the Console Gaming category. I guess I better apologize to everyone and request that any mod that spots this move me.
Sorry.
What a noob!
 
The book is OK, but nowhere near the best Star Wars novel out. The other guys suggestions were good (Thrawn trilogy and others) and on top of that, I'd like to put out the X-Wing series as a great read, I Jedi was a good one, but you want to read the XWing books first, and anything by Karen Travis or Tim Zahn is an instant must-read in my mind.
 
Thanks! Some good recommendations from both of you guys.
I pmed one of the mods asking him to move me to the console game forum. I'm not sure if it'll happed, but I think I've done my part.
 
There are a lot of good Star Wars books. I've read most of them. Some are better then others, but all of them are good and carry on the Star Wars storyline. The thing that makes me wonder though is that you say you don't like scifi. I'm just not sure how much you would like anything Star Wars based if you don't like scifi?
 
There are a few gems within the New Jedi Order series, particularly Traitor. The book version of Revenge of the Sith also fleshes that story out more fully that the movie does. Like others have said, the Thrawn trilogy is quite excellent. The Black Fleet Crisis books can be fun as well, and to go back in the timeline, I'd also recommed Rogue Planet.
 
Forget the title, but the Star Wars book about all the Bounty Hunters was amazingly awesome. Would love to see some movies revolving around those BH's.
