This novel is often hilarious. It makes fun of the SF/F genre but can still tell an engaging story. (0 more)
It is my opinion that the author got lost in the weeds near the end of the novel. (0 more)

Where to start.
This book grabbed me from the first chapter. every chapter left you hanging (sign of a good author!) and brought a new question or a new mystery. although not all of the questions were answered in the first book of this exciting new trilogy, most of them were--but they were all answered in amazing, unforgettable, unexpected ways. drop your classic ideas about "demonic" novels--this book belongs on any fiction-loving adventurous reader's bookshelf!

Campy Horror at it's best!!
This is the first in the Hatch Movie Trilogy. Like most low budget horror flicks this one lacks in the acting department but if you like the campy funny horror movies this one is great. The "supernatural killer" is actually one of the better low budget killers. If you are like me and watch any and all horror check it out and don't expect it to keep you up at night.

I am going to try and keep this review as spoiler-free as possible so that none of the story is ruined for you.

spoiler: jar jar is now working as a clown at an orphanage. highlight of the book. just kidding.

great wrap up to the trilogy even though I didn't fully love the final romantic pairing for sinjir, but that's my personal preference. sinjir + jas imo lol

love how it explains what's on Jakku and how it may explain where snoke may be from, and the battle that happened on jakku, which we see the remains of in the force awakens.

Well I finally saw it. It was surprisingly good. I enjoyed it better than its two predecessors. The only problem I had with it was that it tried to put too much into this one film. They could've spread the story out more through the trilogy and made them all much better. That being said, this is a must watch for any Star Wars fans. A good end to a long run. Worth a watch.

I wasn't sure what to expect going into this book and after the shocking start I thought it looked set to settle into a fantasy setting teen drama (yawn.) However, it suddenly turned on the intrigue level and became a lot more cloak and dagger plotting and less who kissed who.

For the first book in a series (trilogy?) this ended in a satisfying place but leaving me with plenty of desire to pick up the next book

"This trilogy was rereleased at Film Forum in the summer of 2015, right before we started shooting Menashe. I went once a week and cried in the theater by myself. A universal story of birth, death, love, and coming of age. So many moments I can never forget: the joy of the school montage, and the famous scene in which the children see a train for the first time, a symbol of the arrival of modernity."
