What do you think about the Halo books? i thought they were really good, even though they are kinda long.

First Strike is what the halo movie should be on.

i really liked the books...especially the first 2. i didnt think they were that long either....but when your so into halo as many of us are...i dont think it'd take very long to read through the 300-some pages. i thouhgt first strike was ok....but a lot more boring than the fall of reach and the flood.

I loved all of them, but First Strike would have been better if I could tie it more directly into Halo 2's story line.

You need to read Fall of Reach and The Flood then.

it did't take me long to read them either...but put together they equal like 900 pages or something. I think that the 1st and 3rd books were the best cuz i already knew what was goin' down in the 2nd.

Does anyone know if they plan on coming out with more books that continue and include the Halo 2 story?

I read some of the first one and it seemed pretty good, and how only some Spartan survived in some tests and how some did, pretty kool...

Hm...I recognize you...you were from a LONG while back, I think. Welcome back to The Maw...

I guess the Halo books were okay, they did provide a few hours of good enjoyment. Great for firing up the imagination.

They are not long, standard paperbacks.

They are ok, but b-blam!- did they need to be proofread. At least once someone changed sex in the middle of the book!

Theres a few other glaring mistakes as well. But apart from that, they wernt bad.

The flood was quite good, considering how close they had to stick to the game.

Not bad, but not award winning.



Umm, Name one person who changed sex during the book.


I loved the boks, especially first strike, but the flood had a lot of odd things happening, and made MC look more like a typical rambo style action hero instead of the way he really is made to be.

I read fall of reach and it seemed really good to me except i didnt understand one thing. Near the end when reach was destroyed it said that all the other spartans died and that Chief was the last one. But i read some of the prolouge on first striker ( first strike is the last one right?) and there were still 2 other spartans other than chief and keyes was still alive. What is up with that?
