Maz Kanata returns in excerpt from new 'Star Wars' novel

It's more that it's poorly written. This amazon review sums it up well

This book—what can I say? It is written differently. Differently than anything I have ever read. Why? Never seen so many short sentences. Very short. Super short. Choppy? Yes. Hard to concentrate? Yes. Hyphens? Oh—the hyphens. Never seen so many hyphens—in my entire life. His writing style? Hard to follow. Just like this review. So many short sentences. Likes all these I am writing. I can be a writer too. Obviously. This is how the whole book is. Many examples. The hyphens—did I mention all the hyphens?

Characters? I don’t really care about them. Who are they? I don’t know. I can’t follow. Names? Not sure—can’t tell. I know Wedge—that’s about it. Too bad. I love Star Wars. Been a Star Wars fan—forever. I love Star Wars. Then I heard about it—this book. A new canon—“Wow” I said, “A new book? A new hope for Star Wars.” Then—I read it. Not all—just some of it. The first chapter really—then I had to write a review—Wow. First review on Amazon—ever!

Then—I looked up. An hour passed—only one chapter read. To the fridge. Another beer. Gonna be a long night. Can I finish this—not sure. (The book I mean, not the beer—I can finish the beer). I will try—try hard. Maybe coffee? Yes. No more beer. Just coffee. Is the rest of this book like the first chapter? Not sure—probably. I need some pizza. Super short sentences—perhaps. I will find out—eventually. When? I am not sure—a month? A year? Random things placed here and there. Out of order—it seems.

What is good so far? The cover—the picture on the cover. Epic. Cool. Awesome. Would make a good poster. Maybe the rest is different—doubtful. Gonna give it a shot—soon. Would I recommend this book? Is Jar-Jar funny? Do you love short sentences? Lots of short sentences—and hyphens? If you love hyphens—this book is for you. Whoever invented hyphens—is gonna be a happy person—after reading this. Gonna give it another shot—don’t wanna give up too soon. May the force be with—me.
