The responses in this thread explain so much about the Flood.
Apparently a startling amount of people in here never learned how to read.Love reading. Hate books that have absolutely no ability to captivate their reader.
This may come as a shock, but back in the olden days, people read books to learn things, not to be entertained. Along the same concept, writers published novels to share their ideas, not to make money.
Just because people have now been spoiled by Twilight and Micheal Bay movies does not mean that the purpose of classic literature has changed. I'm sorry the story doesn't captivate you, but To Kill a Mockingbird is meant to make a comment on social affairs of the time, which it does well.
Same with every other book mentioned in this thread so far, minus the ridiculous comparisons to the Halo novels.Of course it makes a good comment on social affairs of the time, but why a book must state social affairs as basic as that is beyond me in the first place.
And I hate stories that are for 100% pure entertainment. Absolutely hate Michael Bay movies, love Lord of the Rings books/movies.
