The novelizations of I and II are worthless. They're just the scripts with "said Anakin", "said Padme" with nothing of substance added.

The novelization of III is fucking wonderful. Motivations, fears, relationships are all more fleshed out and Anakin's shitty decision-making actually makes sense because he spends the whole novel wishing everyone would leave him alone so he could stop and make a proper decision. I have a lot more empathy with the character in the novel than with the one in the film.

+1000. I will never be able to recommend Episode III's novelization highly enough.

Who's the author? I'm considering reading this if it's that good.

Thank you! :)

You're welcome! I hope you enjoy it if you end up reading it. ♥

Ah, okay. I've seen the novelization of III praised multiple times here at f!s, so I suppose I assumed the others were just as good. Won't be bothering with those, then. (If I ever get around to it, but I should! Again, I felt like Anakin's arc was an interesting one in theory, but the writing and the acting ruined it for me. I didn't have much sympathy for Anakin either, and the thing is...I felt like I should. Yea. I can believe the book helps a lot with that.)

Anakin has some really lovely moments where you just feel for him, he's this relatively young guy being pulled in so many directions by things he can't even understand (and there's some interesting Jedi hubris going on where I find myself thinking "well, maybe if you assholes took two minutes to talk to him he wouldn't end up slaughtering your younglings.")

I'll have to check it out. I actually felt sympathy for Anakin in that moment in III when they throw Mace Windu out the window and Anakin is like "Oh, shit! What did we do?" I needed more of that. I needed signs that he knew what he was doing was probably bad but was going to do it anyway for various reasons. I needed a better understanding of what he was thinking when he rationalized things. He came across as too blandly passive for most of the movies without enough of a window into his inner thoughts.
