Reviews of Anticipation:

"Jonathan Bowen has gathered abundant details and presented them logically and systematically." "...the degree of detail is astonishing." "...no one can fault his exhaustive research." -- Denise Kratz, Galactic Hunter

"You'll be hard pressed to find a more exhaustive recollection of the events before and after EPISODE I. I was very surprised at all the little things I had forgotten about that time. This book was a great trip down memory lane for me, but for those who don't remember or weren't around, it's a great recap of the events surrounding the release of EPISODE I. It's a fitting tribute to a film that deserves every ounce of credit given in this book." -- Lou Tambone, StarWarz.com

"The Phantom Menace was the most overly-hyped movie in film history - and it wasn't really George Lucas's fault. That's the case author Jonathan L. Bowen of OrbitalReviews.com makes in this wonderful book that sheds proper light on the unjustly maligned prequel. He makes the best case I've ever seen against the media and how they are ultimately responsible for the bad rap the movie got, not the movie itself." -- Dan Geer, MovieLegacy.com, 3.5 stars out of 4
