3 stars

Read March 7th to 11th, 1997 for the second time  
    Once again, the book was not as good as the movie.  Still little depth to the characters, but more than the first book.  There were numerous places throughout the book where it differed considerably.  A good refresher, though.  

 

GRAPHICAL ADAPTATION

A graphic novel by Archie Goodwin, Al Williamson (1995, Dark Horse Comics)

 
 

3 stars

Read April 30th to May 8th, 1997  
    Like the Star Wars Graphic Novel, this one also differed from the movie, but less so.  The graphics were much better, and the story gave other elements dealt with in the novel.  Much better than the original Star Wars one...

A radio adaptation by Brian Daley (1994, Ballantine Books)

 
 

3 stars
