From a Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back

Like the previous book centred on A New Hope, this is a collection of forty stories taking place in and around The Empire Strikes Back that run alongside or at right angles to the plot of the film. Also like that book, it's a mixed bag at best. I really liked some of the stories, and strongly disliked others. Obviously there's no way you're going to get a consistent level of quality across forty stories, and my favourites could well be someone else's hates and vice versa. I am slightly perturbed that my favourite stories tended to be the ones that put you in the head of an Imperial. I don't know what that says about me, but the bottom line is that this is a fun if undemanding read, and one every Star Wars fan should get at least some enjoyment out of.
