I suspected there would be several people in my circle who read Star Wars tie-in novels! They sound like a great way to expand the world and explore the perspectives of characters not seen in the films.

Yeah, I'm not going to try Hurley again. I don't mind tragic writing, I don't mind characters suffering, but I can't stand the relentless grimness where no one is kind, no one has any hope, and no one seems to have any sense of community.
