Student Book Reviews

TITLE: STAR WARS CHARACTER ENCYCLOPEDIA.

AUTHOR: SIMON BEECROFT.

     I recommend this book to the people who want to learn all of the characters in STAR WARS. I also recommend this book to those who would like to learn more about the characters. Each page has a data file for the character mentioned. The data file tells the reader when they appear in the movies and/or the Clone Wars series. The illustrations are realistic-looking. Each page gives a detailed picture of the character. It gives a description of the characters' features and two pictures from the movies that they show up in. This book is easy to read. I give it a 10 out of 10 rating.
