[Bernie Gourley · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was a stinker, and I can't recommend it for anyone--though its saving grace is that it's slim and thus only wastes a tiny bit of one's time. What the author apparently did was to watch a Star Wars movie marathon and pull every Yoda line out and collect them together. This is a sad effort in two ways. First, while Yoda isn't a lead in the movies (and, therefore, has a limited number of lines), there's a vast canon of Star Wars books, and it doesn't look like the author trolled any of them for quotes. Second, some of the lines are neither witty nor wise. Occasionally, Yoda has a line equivalent to, "take a left at the second light," and the author includes such banal quotes. Furthermore, some of the quotes appear a second time in either reduced or extended form. Beyond all these complaints, the author doesn't even take the time to put together meaningful front matter to tell the reader something interesting that they don't already know, and thus doesn't establish his worth in producing such a book. (Also, he doesn't seem to know accepted protocol for writing quotes inside quotes--i.e. use of single quotes. Which I guess means he probably didn't just cut and paste all the quotes because then they would have been grammatically correct.) He also could have at least provided told us which movie each quote was from. It's a lazy effort. It succeeds spectacularly in being lazy. If you've seen the movies (or have basic cable so that you can readily do so by way of one of the frequent Star Wars marathons) you'll gain nothing from this book.
