STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS

Authentic sound effects, the John Williams score, and Marc Thompson's range of voices and accents make this a true "movie in your mind" audio experience (and even more so if you've seen THE FORCE AWAKENS on the big screen). This novelization picks up 30 years or so after the events of the original movie trilogy that concluded with RETURN OF THE JEDI. Thompson goes at it with gusto--he gives individual voices to characters old and new that echo those of the movie actors and ramps up the excitement during pitched battles between TIE fighters and X-wings. And you'll love BB-8, the little astromech droid whose unique beeps and trills are included. Good listening fun for Star Wars fans. J.M.D. © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2016]
