This is another great volume in DK Publishing's series of oversized cross-section book. While I was only lukewarm about the movie The Force Awakens, this book is great. Folks who liked the film as well as Star Wars fans in general will probably enjoy this book.

The book features twelve ships and vehicles from the film including Poe Dameron's X-Wing Fighter, Rey's Speeder, Han's Freighter, and the Millennium Falcon. The book also features a short introduction and in addition to the art by Kemp Remillard we also get  some nice photos from the film. The art  is great with excellent attention to detail. The text is informative and interesting. As in previous volumes, some cross-sections do pull out into larger panels.

Overall, I really liked this one and recommend it. As with other volumes  in this series, it may be geared for younger readers, but fans of all ages can enjoy it.

4 out of 5 stars.
