Good, actualy too Good
Jude Watson dose it again. Jedi Apprentice #11 was just too good, but I had a really big problem, becouse when I turned the last page there was no more to read. Jude Watson's elegant way of wording things is like reading poetry. It is wonderful to see that Qui-Gon and Obi-wans relationship is growing from master and apprentice into a father son relationship, or egleast friends. For the evil villan in Jedi Apprentice #11 I belive she might just be the worst one so far. She is a bountyhunter who will stop at nothing to finsh her evil deed, this book is a must read.

The excitment, and action is better than ever. Obi-Wan is amazing, and so is Qui-Gon with both their action moves, and their words.I belive that this Jedi Apprentice is the best one so far. Please do not pass this book up, or any of the books in this series. These books might say that they are for a yunger audence, but these books have poetry, action, suspence, and drama in them, what more could one want in a book. Again PLEASE! do not pass these books up, THEY ARE JUST TOO GOOD!

Might Give Fett Pause
The "bad" characters often seem to become very popular, whether for their appearance, or for their infinite array of gadgets. This has been the case in the past with Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and in the early days of Talon Karrde and Mara Jade. Another issue has also been the lack of "female" players in the Star Wars Universe. This book solves both issues.

A Female Bounty Hunter makes her appearance, or several appearances in this episode, and she appears to be nearly as capable as the formidable Boba Fett. This unnamed adversary has tricks that Fett cannot manage, and while we learn her species, we learn little else, other than the array of tricks, and deceptions of which she is capable. In a way she is even nastier than Fett, He keeps his actions to his quarry, while this Hunter seems pleased to engage as many adversaries as she can. The more the better.

The messages being sent to younger readers are still for the most part positive. Aggression is a last resort even when dealing with formidable foes, and setting reasonable goals for oneself, and not judging yourself too harshly are taught well. The violence is still fairly mild, but is a bit more than previous episodes.

The downside of this book is that it barely rates a book. Star Wars readers of all ages rarely complain that a book is too long, but even the youngest of readers will find this story annoyingly short. There are still many years that this series could cover; there is no shortage of material for as many books as George Lucas chooses to publish. However this book is a low point for what young readers get for their money, and if any reading group deserves more, it is the newest fans of Star Wars. Young readers don't read less, and they should be encouraged to read as much as possible.

The ending goes beyond a cliff hangar and becomes just an abrupt halt. Only stopping in mid-sentence would have made it worse. So to George Lucas, Jude Watson, and anyone else who makes the decisions, it was the Grinch who was the stingy one, and even he lightened up. So give the readers more rather than less, they have supported this series, and readers in general are who provide a demand for all the Star Wars Books.

I loved it!
This book is excellent! Wow! I think the cover art is really cool with Obi-Wan standing there, poised for battle with the dreaded bounty hunter trying to snap her whip at him. I feel sorry for Obi-Wan, he never gets any food!! Have you noticed that Qui-Gon never eats himself? Weird! Are we sure he's even human? (j/k) Anyways, this book is probably the best JA book that Jude Watson has ever written. There are many close calls (If you've read the book you know what I'm talking about) and we get to see even closer into Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan's relationship.

Please read this book!! You will not be able to put it down! I LOVE OBI-WAN!!
