I liked this book because the pictures had a lot of detail. One of my favorite pictures was a cutaway of Anakin Skywalker's ship. It labeled all the parts of the ship including the inside. It had all the motors and life supports systems. There was a picture beside it that had what Anakin was looking at in his ship and where the droid star-fighters were that he was fighting.It was cool because you could see that he was worried by the expression on his face. There had to be a very good illustrator because the drawings were so detailed. There was also an extremely good author because the writing told about everything in the pictures and I don't think I could have made a book with so much detail, and I have been told about my detailed show more writing by friends, family, and teachers many a time. I also liked that the author and the illustrator worked together to make such a great book. Both of them also helped use other Greek, Roman, German, and other mythology. I personally liked this book, let me correct myself , loved this book! I think I probably could write a lot more about this book it is so good! My mom nagged me about how she wanted me to get done with the book, she kept saying "are you done yet!" I am getting tired now good-bye. show less
