Title: Replaying the video game would be more interesting.
Product review: The Fall of Reach brought real richness to the Halo universe in terms of history and characterization. It's a book based on a video game, sure, but it doesn't insult your intelligence and gives your imagination some new space to roam.In contrast, everything in The Flood is dumbed down. There's little sense of wonder, some things don't make much sense, and the battles are formulaic. Even the prose gets repetitive. For instance, every ship that is hit "shudders" before going down. I got bored, gave it another few chapters, and then shelved it.I would recommend skipping this book and replaying the video game.
