Heartwarming and easy to read story.
The advanced technology of a house first pleases then increasingly terrifies its occupants.
A short story worth your while. A story that lives through time.

The book was interesting enough. But I must say, that if I had no prior clue of what Star Wars is, I would dislike this book. A lot of politics, little action.
This is the reading piece for those who are interested in what happens between real action.
