Im not sure if you guys have read any of them, but they are actually really good. THe 4 that are in the series are well written, and make you keep reading, eventhough you want to stop to take a break. I know your all probably laughing at me, but the original story line is what drew me to halo in the first place. To see how it starts, and to fill in the gaps between games, it makes the realse for halo 3 and the other books to follow even more exciting for me. I was just wondering. Also, i must thank JR for lending me the books.
