yes the opening battle is a little slow but once they met up w/ Mace it gets rolling

I love the way he writes the book like when he says:
This is Anakin Skywalker ...... and how he feels.... for now

This Obi-Wan ..... you get the drift. i love it

and getting in Anakin's head is great

i love all the added dialogue and scenes

yea the last name thing is awesome and the scenes w/Padme and Ani are so wonderfully written
I love that her subplot is in it. she got jipped in the film

how funny was the scene when Obi is on Ani's back and he wakes up to Ani's butt in his face!

I love the part when Yoda asks Obi if he wished to be like a father and Obi answers
"more like an essentric uncle, i think. I can't imagine a better way to spend my life to look after Anakin's son"
and when Vader relaized Padme is dead and he sees how selfish his actions were
and the whole "this is how it feels to be Anakin Skywalker, forever."

just so brillant.

simply brillant ..and i like the added humor too..like when Vader was killing one of the Seperastists and she says "We were promised a handsome reward.."
and Vader says "I am your reward,don't you find me handsome."..i don't know about you but i thought that was kinda funny...and i find him very handsome ...and the fight with Obi-wan and Vader was amazing ...great job,Stover...you have certainly satisfied me...oh and thank you to the man who made all this possible:George Lucas...without you,SW nerds like us would not be able to dicuss any of this,thank you...oh and Happy Birthday to George Lucas,today is his birthday
