Summary: An excellent book! A must-read!
Comment: The Rising Force is the first book in the Jedi Apprentice series, and the series couldn't have had a better start! Once I read the first one, I HAD to read more! (I've only read the first 3 so far, and they're all BRILLIANT! I can't wait to read #4!) These books are supposed to be for a younger audience, but I'm fourteen and still LOVE them! This book tells how twelve-year old Obi-Wan Kenobi desperately wants to become a Jedi. His only hope lies in the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Unfortunately for Obi-Wan, his inability to control his anger keeps Qui-Gon from selecting him as his Padawan. Obi-Wan is sent to the planet of Bandomeer to work for the Agri-Corps. As fate would have it, Qui-Gon is also sent there. Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan share adventures together on the way there, but will it be enough to convince Qui-Gon that Obi-Wan is worthy to be his apprentice?

Summary: Great Bedtime reading for my little Jedi....sometimes!!!
Comment: There is no real Star Wars reading material for young readers (4-7 years) However, this first book in a series for 9-12 year olds is just amazing. It's very readable to a younger child (4-8) at bedtime. As soon as I started reading the book to my son (6 years old) it was an instant hit...with both of us.
It starts BEFORE episode I, when Obi-Wan Kenobi is a boy of 12 years and in Jedi Training hoping to become the Padawan learner of the rebel & loner, Qui-Gon Jinn before he turns 13.
My son got so into the book he would force himself to stay up to listen to more of the story! Obviously, this is not what you want to happen when you want your little Jedi to go to sleep. (However, it does speak volumes about the writing, the story, etc...)
I have a sneaking suspicion that we'll be reading the entire series. This first book, was that good.
