Had quite a few differences from the adaptation.

That Mark Hamill introduction, considering the adaptation, is pretty hilarious.

Wow! Visually and in plot, this one packs a punch right off the bat. It's slightly similar to the start of the movie - which was what made me want to read this - but with a twist. Mark Hamill!!!!

I really enjoyed how different this was to the movie and I'm eager to read more.

Di sini tokoh yg dkmainkan Colin Firth bernama Jack London, bukan Harry Hart ya...
