I Am C-3PO by Anthony Daniels

Title of the Book: I Am C-3PO, Author: Anthony Daniels, Number of Pages: 272, Rating: ★★★★★ Review: If I were to ask you to name some big celebrities from the 70’s and 80’s who would you say? Harrison Ford, Val Kilmer, Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield, Michael J. Fox, David Hasselhoff, etc. But would the name Anthony Daniels come to mind. It likely wouldn’t, but what if I told you he was an actor in a movie from 1977, 1980, and 1983? And what if I told you that these were some of the biggest movies of this era? Some of you probably know what I’m talking about. But some of you are probably still wondering who Anthony Daniels is? Then you will probably be interested in reading his book “I Am C-3PO”. That's right he is none other than the iconic protocol droid C-3PO from Star Wars. 

“I Am C-3PO” is a book about how Anthony became Threepio and the adventures he had as him. While there are many actors that could write about being in Star Wars, Anthony’s experience is unique. He was a robot, he was in all 11 Star Wars movies, He is C-3PO. He’s made the character his own and brought it to life. There have been other voice actors for Threepio but they aren’t as good. Anthony is C-3PO and in my opinion no one could ever play Threepio better than Anthony. 

He uses an interesting writing style. It’s very proper and in tune with writing techniques. He is English and he uses English terms and phrasing. It’s very interesting to read because he uses words like “hadn’t” which you don’t hear too often these days. The tone of the book is usually happy and has a sense of remembrance, it was very interesting to read. 

There are a lot of memorable moments. I won’t spoil any, but he talks about moments that if you have ever seen the movies you will remember. It is a very good book, and I would recommend it to anyone. Even if you have never seen Star Wars this book is a super interesting and fun book to read. Who knows maybe you’ll want to watch the movies after you read the book. Star Wars fans would love this book. And I think even if you don’t care for Star Wars that you would find this book interesting. So I would definitely says that anyone who’s interested should read this book.
