2.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish when compared with Han's adventures., 5 Oct 2004
By Ian Tapley "thefragrantwookiee" - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
THE STORY:
Three to be precise. In 'Lando Calrissian and the Mindharp of Sharu', Lando and his odd droid companion Vuffi Raa are forced to seek out the secrets of the lost Sharu people. The second story 'Lando Calrissian and the Flamewind of Oseon' has Lando and Vuffi Raa hunting a notorious criminal, but an old enemy and some new ones seek to stop them. Finally, in 'Lando Calrissian and the StarCave of ThonBoka' Lando's Millennium Falcon is mistaken for a giant space creature by another such creature, leading Lando and Vuffi Raa to lend their aid to the Oswaft people against the Empire.

WHAT'S GOOD:
It's interesting to see Lando's early adventures as we see him develop his poor piloting skills, whilst attempting to earn a fortune (a character trademark). I quite liked the idea behind the third story, as the Empire makes it's first real appearance in the series. There's a very interesting idea in this book too; Rokur Gepta tries to kill Lando with chagrin. I thought using psychic powers to embarass someone to death was a rather novel idea! Also if you've read about sabacc and wondered how it works, these books finally give you a pretty good idea.

WHAT'S BAD:
Most of it really. The stories are generally boring, the characterisation is bad and the dialogue is appalling. There are few links to the rest of the Star Wars saga and this book suffers for the fact that it tries to create everything from scratch (even Lando isn't much like his movie persona). I was also sorely disappointed by the Battle of ThonBoka (which had such promise) and the secret of Vuffi Raa's origins is just stupid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very descriptive and emotive, 1 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars Trilogy: The Lando Calrissian Adventures (Classic Star Wars) (Mass Market Paperback)
At first i wouldn't have thought to read a book about Lando, but after buying a copy.. at a book sale I began to really enjoy the book. Smith describes the characters brilliantly including the buildings and creates a good personallity of all charatcer especially his droid, Vuffi Raa. I would recommend this book, i really enjoyed reading it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lando Calrissian Adventures WAS good!!, 28 Mar 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Star Wars Trilogy: The Lando Calrissian Adventures (Classic Star Wars) (Mass Market Paperback)
While L. Neil Smith did occasionally use the wrong terms, one must remember that this was one of the early Star Wars books, before all this knowledge was so widely known. This book is one of the best Star Wars books written. The plots are fantastic, but that's what makes them fun. I found everything interesting. This was a strange book to say the least, but it's funny, has intricate connecting plots, and is just fun to read.

4.0 out of 5 stars not bad
this book is'nt really that bad. The problem is that the author obvously never saw Star Wars. All he knows is Lando Calrissian and the Millenium Falcon. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars this book was very boring and hard to get into.
I'm sure L Neil Smith is a perfectly good author, but his style is totally wrong for Star Wars.
