I also think it depends on your age... I read like 30 or so when I was in middle school (I tend to read alot). They were enjoyable for me, from what I can remember, but I do think you'd need to be a Star Wars fan. I stopped reading after Shield of Lies, I think, because the main characters were getting old and decrepit. It made me sad. Also there was one that was really poorly written. I think it was Darksaber, Crystal Star, or Children of the Jedi. It involved Luke being trapped in a ship with a phantom jedi chick. It was significantly worse than any of the others, though, in my opinion.
