I was instantly drawn into the lives the characters were living and every problem they had.<br \/>\nAlso great is the \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d novelization written by Alan Dean Foster. The book adds details that are left out of the movie. Some deleted scenes from the movie are included, as well as more dialogue between characters that were cut from the film.<\/p>\n<p>Editor\u2019s Disparagement:<br \/>\nIt\u2019s becoming more and more practical to shop for books on Amazon. You don\u2019t have to leave your house and prices are generally really cheap. But there\u2019s something about going to a bookstore that will always be better. While Amazon is great for buying books, buying books from bookstores helps small businesses and is great for finding books you would\u2019ve never read if you were only shopping on Amazon. Blindly buying a book to read is difficult on Amazon since ratings are right in front of you at all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Ashton Newton Entertainment Editor Editor\u2019s Recommendation: \u201cNorwegian by Night\u201d by Derek B.
