Title: Halo - Fall of Reach : Pretty good.
Post by: MrAngryFace on August 04, 2007, 10:08:55 PM
I mean as far as your grocery store light-reading goes. Suprisingly it isn't the Master Chief bits I enjoyed reading the most but all the space battle stuff. As far as action scenes go, the book has some well written ones, but it always seemed like the ground-pounding segments lacked or even actively omitted things to keep the pace quick. This was a contrast to the space battles which were pretty meticulous.

All in all it added a lot of depth to the Captain Keyes and Cortana characters. It also adds depth to Master Chief that doesnt exist in the Halo games, and thats a shame, cause now there's a huge disconnect between the two different representations of the character.

Thankfully they pooped out a book covering Halo 1, so I dont have to play through it again ha ha ha, well maybe someday... I also picked up Ghosts of Onyx at the grocery store today to read when I finish The Flood and First Strike. Each book is only 350 pages or so, doesnt take long to plow through them.

Your consumerism has gone too far.  You must be put down.

I hope Walter S. "The Wild FIRE" Ragland, Jr. writes the Halo 3 novelization.  I would not be able to put that book down, as it would include a superb mix of action, philosophy, and ancient oriental martial arts.  And it might very well change my life.
