This book is exhausting me!
I was excited to continue this story and in the beginning it was so full of drama and emotion.
But from the 50% mark it's mostly very detailed sexual encounters, or characters either discussing others' sexual encounters, remembering their own sexual encounters, or wishing for sexual encounters, and miminal story between.
Book 2 I finished overnight. This I'm lacking desire to finish.

I have to be honest - it may have won the Man Booker, but I'm struggling to read this. I'm having to force myself to pick it up and not enjoying it. I'm questioning whether to bother trying to finish it, in which case it'll be the first book I've not finished.

incredible read. Like Apollo13 but with one guy full of crafty ideas and sarcastic humour determined to survive against all the odds.

I was intrigued to see how Yoda speak would be translated since it's is already almost Shakespearean in form & I think it was handled well. I do like the use of soliloquy to set the scene or express the mind of the character, especially in the relationship between Han/Leia, & Luke/Vader. Well played on the closing chorus to entice you to immediately pick up the next book (which I can't wait to do)

Currently about 16 chapters into Book 3 - every time I have to put it down to sleep or work I'm disappointed. Far exceeds the tv show.
