Summary: Closer to the actual movie than the other two novelizations.
Comment: If you love The Empire Strikes Back, you will like this book. It is very well written, with different and expanded dialogue between characters. This is especially evident from the parts where Luke is learning different aspects of the Force from Yoda. There were scenes of Luke's training that were filmed and not included in the final cut, so reading this book, you'll be able to find out what we didn't see. Overall, though, this book is closest to the actual movie than the books for A New Hope and Return of the Jedi. Not that that is bad. I and many, many others consider Empire to be the best Star Wars film ever made. (I also hope the upcoming Episode II is more like Empire, with its dark tone.)
This book is just as exciting as the movie and is a must-read for fans. For those who are curious about this, buy Star Wars: A New Hope first, or you won't understand a lot about what is happening.

Summary: Star Wars -The Empire Strikes Back- (Seafire12)
Comment: THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK against the rebel alliance! The story takes you from the icy planet of Hoth, to Dagobah, and finally to Bespin! It is a darker story and Luke begins his JEDI training with Master Yoda. This is a great book! Buy it!
Rating: 4
Summary: Decent summer paperback of classic Star Wars tale
Comment: This novelization of what many consider to be the best Star Wars movie, The Empire Strikes Back, isn't going to offer you reams of new information, but you will get small glimpses into scenes that never made the movie through bits of dialogue not seen on screen. For some, that alone may be enough to warrant a purchase.
For those looking for an in-depth Star Wars read, look elsewhere. This is casual reading material. The book's pacing is brisk and the reading light. Experienced readers will polish this off in one lazy Saturday afternoon, while younger readers will enjoy this over the course of a week. This isn't a BAD thing, of course - it just is what it is. And what it is, is a fairly run of the mill movie novelization.
While this isn't as essential as some original Star Wars books, most notably those by Timothy Zhan, hardcore Star Wars fans will probably want to check this out. It is, after all, one of the core group of stories around which the Star Wars universe was based. In addition, some non-film material (Luke training with Yoda comes to mind) is interesting enough to make you see the movie in a different light. Just don't expect classic literature. This is a novelization of a movie, and reads like it. Nice beach reading, and little more.
