Much like Rey's Story, this is just a children's chapter book, which retells The Force Awakens from Finn's perspective. There is a little bit of new information about Finn's squad at the beginning of the book.
The book is awsum and becase it was star wars it must have ben hard to make becase they hade to leeve out the parts that finn was not included in like wen a rathtar was oi the mullimeon falkun in the movie they cuold not ad becase at that time fin was nersing chowbaca in the first ade room. theentier book was in Finns perspactiv.
Enjoyed getting insights into Finn’s thoughts and motivations. Gave a little extra info for some of the scenes in TFA.
It was fun reading this to my eight year old. It has weird pacing though. It's like the authors realized they were running out of pages when they got to Takodana and they start fast forwarding through scenes. On D’Qar and Star Killer Base they skip a lot of the details to close the book out fast, it is quite jarring.
Picked this up because Finn’s my favorite character and I wanted a lot more of him because TLJ didn’t have a ton. This was pretty great! For a young reader, it was pretty detailed with Finn’s life in the First Order. Finn has such an interesting backstory and I’m praying JJ will finally get the chance to elaborate more on that in Ep 9. This is pretty much TFA from Finn’s point of view and has some little details about the daily life of Stormtroopers that the film doesn’t have. For instance, it a...
A slight cheat.
Basic recap of a movie.I found this book quite interesting but it lacked any real depth - some of the background information was good.
The story starts just before we see Finn at the village on Jakku. There are some fun personality bits from Finn's inner POV, like "Sanitation for the win", but mostly this is a fairly bland, point by point retelling of TFA from FInn's perspective. (And, more cynically, it's yet another vehicle for Brian's Rood's excellent - but by now omnipresent - TFA artwork.) I really wanted to live in Finn's head more, go deeper into his character. On the plus side, much is made of the initial lie Finn tells...
Disappointing for me because I didn't realize it was just the retelling of the movie from Finn's POV. I had been hoping for a proper character prequel story. I guess it's not badly written as far as such books go, but I just don't understand the point of this book. We already have several movie novellizations, why not write an actual prequel with some proper background information on Finn? I'm not saying spoil Episode VIII if this information is planned to be included there but at least do *some...
Decent story, but not much detail.
It was really short
It's impossible not to compare this to Rey's Story, and while like it, starts with a few words before the actual begin of the movie, it's not as fleshed or as touching as the Rey book.The rest is a play-by-play retelling of the movie, which albeit being a good example of prose, really lacks on any new details, easter eggs or additional eye openers.Worse, while we know that Finn is convalescent at the end of the movie, the book abruptly ends during the snow fight, the character depositing his hop...
A nice junior version of the story from Finn's point of view. My one hangup is that it ends on a bit of a dark note given that Finn is knocked out by Kylo Ren as per the story of the movie and there isn't any further clarification of if he's okay.
It's The Force Awakens from Finn's perspective, no more, no less; exactly what's on the cover. Prose is simplistic and straightforward, and the story... well, if you've seen the movie, then you know all about it. You can probably finish it in like a couple of hours; I'd recommend it more for small children than anyone else.
Yup, a simple retelling of The Force Awakens from Finn's perspective. A good read for maybe 3rd or 4th grade level, and maybe a good lesson in how someone's experiences or perspective affect their information and their interpretation of it. Media literacy, woohoo!!
The title here pretty much says it all. This book covers the events of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens from the perspective of FN-2187 AKA Finn. It recounts pretty much everything that he sees and gets inside his head a little to share his thoughts and emotions, but beyond that there's not a lot else.The only thing to really note is that the beginning of the story does go into Finn's time with the First Order before their landing on Jakku. We get to meet his squadmates and learn a littl...
I liked this one even though it was basically just part of The Force Awakens told from Finn’s POV with some pictures (this is canon btw). I do think I liked the Rey one a bit more, though.
The positives of Finn's Story are the illustrations by Brian Rood (who during this period of The Force Awakens, marketing was really knocking it out the park with how much he contributed to story books. Him and Phil Noto) and the fact that the author, Jesse J. Holland, is Black.In general, this is kind've a weak story because it really fails to get into the nitty gritty of Finn's internal process as a point-of-view narrative told from his perspective alone. Maybe that's wrong to expect from an a...
A kid's book retelling the movie from Finn's point of view. Doesn't vary from the movie because it can't. Gives a bit of additional background about Finn.Cool for young, new Star Wars fans. I'd say first to third grade or so, depending on reading skill.
Holland, Jesse J. Finn’s Story (Star Wars: The Force Awakens), 137 pages. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG (like the movies).Read Fin’s perspective on the events of the newest Star Wars movie and hear a bit of his thoughts and motivations as he meets Rey and the heroes of the original trilogy. There is no deviation from the movie here, just a little backstory to enjoy. EL – ADVISABLE. Cindy, Library Teacherhttp://kissthebook.blogspot.com/2016/...
