Customer Reviews of Hero for Hire, by Han Solo (Star Wars Journal)

Review Summary: Very Funny
Review: I was laughing almost all the way through this book. The title suits Han personally after all he never planned or wanted to be a hero. He just wanted to pay off Jabba and go about his business heck he never even knew why he was in the mess in the first place. Han's descriptions of the New Hope event was hilarious. But I was also surprised by non-humorious parts like Han not wanting to particpated in the award ceremony it added a new layer to Han making me love him even more. If your a Star Wars and/or a Han Solo fan this book is for you.

Review Summary: Could be better!
Review: I really thought it would be a good book.I thought it would talk about stuff we didn't know about Han Solo.If you have seen the star wars trilogy the whole book is old news.Plus the idea of the book being a interview is lame. It would be a better cassette then a book. The only way you know what's happening is through what they say.If you have seen the trilogy don't read it.If you haven't and want to read it don't except to much. I would give it less stars but that would be to mean.

Review Summary: Worth four and 1/2 stars...
Review: Han was never one of my favorite characters. Oh, I like him, I just always liked Luke and Leia better, since Luke is a nicer person than Han, and is never a jerk like he sometimes is, and Leia is a strong female. This book however, changed my opinion of Han completley. Though I think the idea of him being interviewed by one of the monk guys in Jabba's Palace is silly, the content itself is excellent. It brings to light a side of Han we have never seen before; a caring and vunerable interior. This brings to the front not only a different point of view from which to see A New Hope through, but also Han's deepest thoughts and feelings, and how much he was really starting to care for Luke and Leia. Though the writing could have been embelished at times, and I wish it were longer, it was overall a good book. I do wish though, that all the journals didn't have to take place during A New Hope. I would be more interested in knowing what my favorite characters were thinking during Return of the Jedi or The Empire Strikes Back. Though this one takes place during the beginning of Return of the Jedi it still only tells the story of A New Hope. Why? Anyway, in general this was a good book and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Han, and even those who don't since it might change your mind! This book would be best for those in the intended age group, though anyone could read it as long as they don't expect Shakespeare.

The best part of this book is when Jabas spokesmen talks to Han about money matters.
One of the moast vivid elements in this book is the caractors.The caractors are: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Princsas Laya, Jaba the Hut,and Chewbaca. Han is the leader. Han, Luke,and Laya are all humans Jaba, Chewbaca, are alians. The conflict in the story is the Rebals agenst the Empire. Reabls are good, the Empire is bad. The Reabls try to keep the Empire from takeing over the galxey.
