Book Reviews of The Halo Graphic Novel
Book Review: Very confusing
Summary: 2 Stars
First things first, the art is splendidly wonderful, but they forgot to keep it simple. The last story read like a cross section between the matrix and halo and seems too pretentious than it ever should be. One story about Sargeant Johnson has almost no dialogue over 20 pages of the book. I really felt like this should have been reviewed first by users of the game. Unlike the novels which really add to the overall story of halo, this seems to jumble it a bit. The stories in all were far too short as well. Oh well.....Book Review: What? That's It?!?
Summary: 3 Stars
I read through this book while on a short visit to the library. I had been looking forward to it and was amazed that it was even on the shelf. Once I "read" it I understood why it was there. WAY too short and WAY too hyped. I expected a lot more from the game that redifined the FPS, and has set THE STANDARD for online gaming. I am a huge fan of HALO, but I would be doing everyone a disservice if I recommended that anyone actually BUY this book. Maybe a second edition will prove a better tome.Book Review: High Expectations Dashed........
Summary: 2 Stars
Wow! What a letdown! I was anticipating lots of info and insight into the potentially huge HALO universe and all I got was brief glimpses of the "maybe" vastness. In all fairness, this project had ridiculously high expectations to fulfill to the HALO faithful, and it would've taken a miracle not to disappoint. It remains to be seen if any of this graphic novel holds clues to HALO 3; but I wouldn't bet on it. Perhaps the real creative force for the HALO universe was busy making the next game.Book Review: Not worth the hard cover price
Summary: 3 Stars
I felt this book wasn't worth the price. At least for the hard cover version. The only really good story is the first one, other than that the others aren't very good. Reasonably good artwork but the last one had more of a kid like style and the story wasn't very good and a little confusing even. The drawings in the back were better than half the stories. I expected more but i would say it isn't worth the 20-25 dollars. wait for the paperback.Book Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
As a hardcore Halo fan, this is just downright disappointing. None of the stories follow Master Cheif, or Captain Keyes, or anyone remotely recognizable from the Halo universe except Sergeant Avery Johnson. The story with Sergeant Johnson is the only one worth viewing. This is an ok gift idea for someone you know who enjoys all things Halo, but if you really wanna get them something of value, go with one of the real novels instead.
