How are the novelisations of the first two Prequel movies?

The Revenge of the Sith novelisation is rightly praised for fleshing out the story of the movie by giving us among other things characters internal monologues.

However I’ve never heard similar praise directed at the novelisations of Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones. Are they not as good as the third? Do they not elevate the story of their respective movies as much as they could have?
