Review: Solo - A Star Wars Story by Mur Lafferty

Solo: A Star Wars Story
by Mur Lafferty


The novelization of “Solo: a Star Wars Story” is a good to very good read. There are some discrepancies of events that take place in the novel from what happens in the film itself. Some readers might find it a touch jarring, but I took it as the author working from an earlier draft of the script rather than a deliberate choice to retell events. The book serves as a very nice companion piece to the movie as it gives us a glimpse into the characters’ motivations and points of view. I would recommend this book to any Star Wars fan who enjoys reading moderate-length chapter books.
