Are they any good? I am considering buying them because I don't read at all and seems like they would be very interesting. You know, Halo being the -blam!- and all...

you have to understand alot about science and space to get alot of it, but they are rrrreeeeaaaalllllllyyyy good. you have to be really into halo to take the time to read them, which im sure everyone here is n e ways, so i shouldnt worry bout that.

Not necessarily; my friend doesn't fit either of those criteria, yet he loves them!

As long as I get to read descriptions of the wonderful ass-whoopings Master Chief gets to bestow on the Covenant, I'm good. Looks like I'm ordering the set this week then!

My friend got it for me for christmas (first strike) I loved it, even though I hate books. I read it every day. When I finished I got the other 2 and read them. Best. Books. Ever.

I recommend the Halo books because they help you to appreciate the storyline more thouroughly and u will understand the first game better. The book entitled 'The Flood' is based on the Game Halo:Combat Evolved, so you may not want to purchase it....
Anywayz..I know i loved them and I actually read them durin the summer...

Like everyone else, I agree you should get the books. You'll get a new understanding of MC and really everyone in the story, even the Covies.

However, don't be disheartened if you get a bit tired of the MC scenes in The Flood. They seemed terribly repetitive, but the rest of the book makes it worth wild.

The Fall of Reach and The First Strike are good, but I didn't like The Flood. It was just "Then the chief blew up x Jackals. Then he shot a grunt. Then a flood came." Anyway, you can get them at Barnes and Noble.

Buy them, read them, lick them.

I mean... dont lick them...

Unless you want to...


Arguably the best thing about these books is the way they taste
