Review

No. 3 on the Independent on Sunday's 'Top Five Science Fiction and Fantasy Titles' * Independent on Sundays *
The key question that may have crossed your mind is if reading the novelisation is worth your time or not. You've seen the film and so already know the story. Should you bother revisiting it again so soon? The answer to that question is an unequivocal YES…you get that extra depth that I think is all but impossible to convey on screen…Overall I can't find any fault, this novelization is the ideal companion piece to its celluloid counterpart…Do yourself a favour, treat yourself to a copy of the book too. * The Eloquent Page *
Alan Dean Foster's recent novelisation of Star Wars: The Force Awakenshas been well received and goes beyond the film. * Huffington Post *
A great sci-fi fantasy writer * Den of Geek *
