Review # 1 was written on 2010-03-30 00:00:00 Joanna Stewart A decent book along with a CD that does a good job of explaining Powerpoint. Other than tinkering with the program I've never used Powerpoint. Although I forgot how to use many of the features, I now know they exist and can refer to the book for a refresher. The book helped unlock much of the mystery of Powerpoint for me.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-08 00:00:00 Randy Powell This book is a YA book and is part of the old canon timeline. This takes place between Episode I and Episode II. In this one, we deal with space pirates that are dealing in the slave trade. This ties in with Anakin as we all know that he was a slave in the first movie. I liked this first book of this series. I am not expecting great literature in these books. I am expecting to be entertained and these books to tie in with the overall arc and this book accomplishes that. When dealing with Anakin as a subject matter, the reader is expecting some kind of foreshadowing or trait that leads him to becoming Darth Vader. I thought the author succeeded with this as we get to see Anakin's anger at being a slave and it still affects him. This was the strength of the novel. The past does shape how a person behaves in the present and does affect his behavior in the future. The only flaw for me in this book is the length. It was too short and I believe this could have been one of the many novels that exist in this universe. I just came off a different series in this universe that in the middle of it I stopped reading. It was meant for the younger generation so I believe that was the reason I could not continue. This beginning of this series has me excited and I am not sure if it the actual quality of the book or more coming of that series that I did not care for. Either way, I am looking forward to continuing this series and exploring Anakin as a padawan.
