"Don't read this. It's just the first game but in book form. There's only so many ways you can write "He ran down the corridor and took out a group of grunts..." It also tells the story of what the marines are doing while MC is blowing stuff up, and adds one or two new details not covered in the game, but it's not worth the effort."
"The Flood is a great action Sci-Fi book that is based off one of the bestselling video games. The book deals with the main character Master Chief and his struggle to defeat the covenant race. He is the last of an elite fighting team known as the SPARTANS. Master Chief was trained by the army to help fight the war against an alien race that has been attacking mankind and threatening Earth. That's not all, a new enemy has come. One that even the covenant fear-the Flood. The Flood is a wave of flesh eating parasites that are threatening all life. The themes that show up in this book are sacrifice, friendship, struggle, faith, and much more.
I would recommend this book to all readers that look for a good sci-fi thriller. Also, fans of the XBOX video game version will love the book."
"When I walked into reading this room , i assumed it would be like the video game its based off of, long, boring, and overrated. However it turned out to way more than I expected. This epic Sci Fi tell the story of the Spartan Super Soldier John/Spartan 117/Master Chief, as he awakes from cryosleep in the midst of a massive battle upon the ship The Pillar Of Autumn. Immediately John is placed with a massive amount of problems, as the ship's captain Captain Jacob Keyes, and the ships A.I. unit Cortana, declare that the ship will be crash landing on the upcoming Ring-World Halo (hence the name of the series). After crash landing on Halo, Master Chief is confronted by the stories main enemy, a group of several species of aliens known as The Covenant, whose main purpose is too ride the universe of other species to achieve religious freedom.
The Main conflict in this book is Man vs Alien, as Master Chief must somehow find a way off Halo, and back to Earth. The theme is about the fight of Humanity against its new arch nemesis The Covenant. Being as though the Book is based off of the game, its was difficult for the author to stray too far from the actual main storyline, but in his craftiness he is fully able to tell a handful of mini stories going on at the same time that Master Chief is trying his escape.
Halo is something that is second nature to boys of my generation. Everybody and their mother knows of the legendary Halo trilogy. It is a natural symbol of Good vs Evil. I recommend this book to anybody who would like to find a challenging new Sci Fi. The book is really different from what people would expect from the game, as the book goes more in depth of Master Chief's thoughts and motives, it really gives u a taste of what Master Chief most of gone through as he was experiencing what you were reading."
"The book was still a fun read but I did get tired of reading (in every small detail) the exact events of the game. If I wanted to experience all that, I would just play the game (which I have...). The side story with the other marines was cool though, simply because it was a part of the Halo universe that hadn't been explored in any of the games yet. Not that it effected my enjoyment of the story but there seemed to be a LOT of spelling errors and stuff throughout the book that the author and publishers missed..."
