HamptRds, VA Book/Reading Club

I finished Deathstar about 3 weeks ago and it was FANTASTIC. Great characters and the plot was outstanding.

As long as I get it back, anyone can borrow it. I just started RC True Colors and so far it is REAL good!!!!

 

Just finished the second bane book it was great accept for thier addition of new tech too early in the story line.

 

on a scale between 1 & 10, what would ya'll give it?

 

I haven't read "Death Star" yet, but I'll give "Rule of Two" an eight so far. "Path of Destruction" warranted a nine from me.

 

whoaahh! Thanks Wendy!

 

I'll have to co-sign that too. Path of Destruction is definitely a 9. I'm halfway through Rule of Two and so far I'll give that a 9 also.

 

I have Deathstar to loan so first come first serve. I would give it a solid 8.

Almost finished with RC:True Colors and I think it is the best of the series.

 

More books on the way geared for the younglings!

 

Awesome news! Our youngling loves the Junior Jedi Knights series, but that's been out of print for a while (had to order them used online).

 

Finished Rule of Two last month. The book was.....ON POINT!

 

At Galacticon, it was brought to my attention that contrary to popular belief, EU does not 'SUCK', rather, it 'ROCKS'. That said, I have agreed to try this 'EU' thing again by reading the Legacy of the Force series...

I entered a deal in which for every EU book I read, someone will play a game of mini's..so while I venture out to get the first legacy book, if someone can kind of help JIM build a good mini's army, I'd appreciate it!

I'll keep everyone posted here on my progress!!

 

I can lend you the book if you want. Just let me know.

 

I know there's a joke in there somewhere. This early in the AM without coffee, my brain cell conduits aren't immediately picking up on it!

But of course EU rocks!

 

I get it now! Just drank my coffee! LOL!

 

OK Folks...

I went to Barnes and Noble (Much thanks to Rick C. for the gift card!!) and picked up Betrayal...

I read the first 2 pages and it's kind of good...especially since I know who Luke is 'dreaming' about...

I like how he says this person may be his father, because he has Anakin's features...

cool early set-up for what's to come!!

 

Glad to see you're trying it out. I'm not an EU fanboy but I do like a story that's well told...and it helps to have the stories built around the Star Wars Universe.
That being said, I've only read the pre-prequel stuff. Any recommendation for the best post ROTJ stuff or stuff between ANH and ESB?

 

Betrayal is an awesome book.

Is this the book you guys are on?

 

It's the book I'm on..I've tried to get into EU once before and I just didn't like the book (Allegiance, art dealers in Star Wars? COME ON!) So I swore off EU...

I'm giving it another stab though with Legacy!

(I'm not sure how I'll get passed Bloodlines though, since I am a staunch beleiver that Boba Fett dies in the Sarlaac pit!)

 

Ba Humbug....FETT IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!

 

Ok...I've finished the first 10 chapters of Betrayal...

It's just OK so far...I am trying to tell myself that this is merely a book set in the Star Wars universe and will not have the same impact as a movie...

I will say this though...I probably would not be intrested in finishing this series if I didn't know what happens...

 

You could go in another direction and try reading the Republic Commando series?

 

Right now I'm commited to Legacy...

 

OK...

I just finished chapter 20 of Betrayal..it's starting to pick up!! I gotta say I'm getting into it!!!

I want to know who the 'leak' is...do we find out int his book/ Don't tell me!!

yes tell me!

no don't!!

 

Yeah, right!

 

I am gonig to prove the naysayers on the forum poll wrong!! It is my mission!!
