The provincial Bennet family, home to five unmarried daughters, is turned upside down when a wealthy bachelor takes up a house nearby. Mr. Bingley enhances his instant popularity by hosting a ball and taking an interest in the eldest Bennet daughter, Jane. Meanwhile, Mr. Darcy, Bingley’s even wealthier friend, makes himself equally unpopular by his aloof disdain of country manners.

Challenging but worthwhile

Although the vocabulary is quite challenging, the story overall is "dare I say, exceedingly satisfactory".

As the Empire reels from its critical defeats at the Battle of Endor, the Rebel Alliance—now a fledgling New Republic—presses its advantage by hunting down the enemy’s scattered forces before they can regroup and retaliate. But above the remote planet Akiva, an ominous show of the enemy’s strength is unfolding. Out on a lone reconnaissance mission, pilot Wedge Antilles watches Imperial Star Destroyers gather like birds of prey circling for a kill, but he’s taken captive before he can report back to the New Republic leaders.

Awful, just awful
Reviewed: 09-09-15
The narrator gives a valiant effort and includes many musical clips and sound effects from the Star Wars movies, but the story is just so bad. One-dimensional characters abound. Each chapter (not counting the randomly inserted "interludes" which are like little mini-stories of their own, only vastly more interesting than the main story) begins with an implausible explanation for how the previous scene's cliffhanger was resolved. The chapter then proceeds at a dull pace, slowly builds up to something more interesting, some new dilemma, then at the peak abruptly shifts to something else. It reads like a bad soap opera.
