Halo: Contact Harvest by Joseph Staten
2.0
*Actual Rating - 2.5/5
First Read Rating - 3/5
Second Read Rating - 2.5/5
This Was a Re-read for Me, and the book just didn't click with me the second time around, I found it slow going when I first read It about 6 or 7 years ago. But even though I read it this time in a couple days it still felt slow (which is odd as the story isn't actually slow, it moves relatively fast), and I just wanted to put it down and do other things.
Its not a bad book, its okay, its just not for me. Even though i'm a huge Halo fan (and a Huge Sci-Fi Fan In General), I could have gone without reading it, I don't think it really contributed anything to the Halo story. But that is just my opinion, as other's might find it very important to the story (I did not)
Hardcore Halo Fans, would like it, but if you've not read any of the other books, or played the games, I would not recommend you read this book. Its better to have prior knowledge and experience of the Halo Universe before diving in.
But even then with all my Halo Knowledge, I had trouble enjoying Contact Harvest, and to be honest I can't think why, it just didn't click with me.
