Ha, you made me walk to my bookcase and take it out, having a look. Read it years ago cause I couldn't see it in theatres then, so read the book instead (looking back, kind of a blessing?) Made a quick peek at the end, seems Darth Maul has a lot more dialogue in the book (though not enough to give him a character/personality), and of course with the advantage of reading the thoughts of characters some actions might make infact some sense? To some degree at least...Overall, I'd say its as forgettable as the movie(s) itself ... and just the mention of TPM as usual has the effect on me to think of a myriad ways Lucas could have told Obi-Wans/Anakins story in an awesome way...the book however does not add much improvment imho
