Although I was never a huge fan of The Last Jedi movie itself, I actually really enjoyed reading this Junior Novelization. I felt like it was a concise, descriptive depiction of the original movie and adult movie novelization but in shorter form, without extracting any of the important details of the story. I highly enjoyed the revealing and calming insight and the outlook that some sections of this book provided compared to the lack thereof in the movie and adult movie novelization. This book was a certain page turner, it was exciting to read each event even if you knew and dreaded what happened next and didn’t want to flip the page, you wanted to because it meant you could keep reading and get back to the good parts to finish the book. I’d highly recommend this book for all ages and all Star Wars fans. It might even make people who weren’t exactly fans of The Last Jedi movie previously fonder of the storyline and tale of The Last Jedi overall.
