My son loves it. ^ 5 star review based on a single criterion: Does my 5 (now 6) year old son love it? Answer: Yes.
Book consists of 3 separate stories. The graphics look like the animated series, so points for consistency. The book does fall apart in short order, as other reviewers note. But this is for my son, not me. If he doesn't care that the pages fall out and then I staple them together, then neither do I.
Not sure why, but often it seems like the animated Clone Wars story line gets reviewed as if it were not just for kids, but for grown-ups, too. Maybe it's because the plot exposition that sets the context for the action is pitched above the heads of young kids. Or maybe it's just that older fans (like young ones) want as much Star/Clone Wars as they can get. Whatever the reason, to me, animated CW seems targeted just for kids. Judging (solely) by my son's response to it, it's a brilliant success.
Poorly bound books ^ As other reviews have stated, the stories and art work are exactly what you'd expect and my 6 yr old son and I eagerly devoured the two volumes we had purchased. The second night we read them, however, the pages started falling out. By day three both books were utterly destroyed. Very, very poorly bound books. I would expect the returns on these titles to be extraordinary.
Fun, Quick Reads For STAR WARS Fans Of All Ages ^ Dark Horse's STAR WARS: CLONE WARS ADVENTURES doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel, but it does a good job of presenting quick, action-packed adventures set in the STAR WARS universe to younger readers, while remaining entertaining and enjoyable to older fans. The art follows the style of Cartoon Network's (Old....) Clone Wars mini-series, NOT the computer-generated look of the current series. Volume 1 features three stories, all very action-oriented, that would be perfect for younger readers....Older fans can probably take a pass, though. CLONE WARS ADVENTURES is fun for what it is, but older fans will have seen it all many times before.
Fun stories, but poorly bound ^ We purchased these books for our Star-Wars obsessed 4 year old boy. My wife and I enjoy reading the stories to him because they hold his interest, which allows us to keep the t.v. turned off. After a week of moderate use, the pages started falling out. We returned the first book we purchased and ordered a few more volumes in this series. Both the replacement book and the new volumes have the same problem with the pages falling out. If you intend on reading these books more than once, do not purchase them.
poor quality book ^ These comic books are great. My son will spend an hour at a time devouring them. He is only 5. The problem I have with them however, is that they are falling apart. At first I thought it was only the one book. We must have broken the spine or soemthing, but no. All of them are loosing their pages. Now I know my son is only five, but believe me when I say he is very careful with his books. He cherishes them. Theya re just made very poorly. We are so diappointed as we have to keep reorganizing the pages and figuring out hwere they belong. Expensive little books to have falling apart. Very disappointed.
