What a disappointment. I'm so bummed out that the first novel in the new canon about Padme was so boring.
Firstly, they should have given Padme to Claudia Gray, who has proven she gets the Star Wars Universe; her characterization of Leia has been amazing. Secondly, this would have worked as a political novel, had it been written for adults, rather than for the Young Adult crowd. I didn't have a problem with Johnston's Ahsoka novel, because it was Ahsoka. This is Padme for Christ's sake. I'm just so fricken disappointed because I've been waiting for more about Padme for 20 flipping years. I'm so glad I borrowed this from the library.

"This stylish, psychosexual B-picture is a really cool early example of low-budget New York filmmaking, and it also happens to be directed by MY GRANDFATHER! A great time capsule of smutty, old Times Square – in fact, all of the Times Square footage of Sal Mineo was "stolen", including a chase in the street, and supposedly the cinematographer nearly got killed by traffic during the filming of it. And definitely the first movie to ever shoot a scene in an adult book store. Seek out the right bootleg of this movie (which should clock about 90 minutes) because the only official release is a censored cut, and I know you… You like things sleazy."
