Lois reviewed The Empire Strikes Back by Donald F. Glut (Star wars)
Review of 'The Empire Strikes Back' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Also just have the radio drama since there is no true audiobook... it's okay, still doesn't feel like they actually understood some of the characters, but not sure if that's also in the novelization or purely based on the radio drama.
-------------
Dec 2020 - finally read the actual book with text to speech to make an audiobook (seriously, people, you have Mark Thompson, make audiobooks for these books!) Anyway, like episode 4's novelization that I did first, it certainly is the movie, but since we are so ridiculously used to the movie version, any changes or differences in the book are strange, but that's not the books' problem, it's mine. But it's still good, still the movie, still has the most important part as it was on screen, so all is good. :)

4/2022 - So, yeah, finally found an actual audiobook for this (from 1994, I think)! …

4/2022 - So, yeah, finally found an actual audiobook for this (from 1994, I think)! Annnndd... yeah, it's 3 hours, so abridged. And yeah, those of us that do a heck of a lot of audiobooks are super spoiled with Marc Thompson - this narrator, ah, yeah, fine with general narration but the actual voices like with Yoda, not so much. But hey, until they decide to do full unabridged remakes of the audiobooks (if ever), with or without Marc Thompson, then this is a good alternative for a quick listen.
