Halo: Shadows of Reach

My first DNR! While I enjoyed the parts of the book that focused on the story and characters, those parts were were few and far between compared to the overly descriptive battle scenes. I gave this half-a-book's worth of chances before I finally realized that I never looked forward to actually reading it. I'm sure that a different author could have told this story in a more appealing way. It's just unfortunate that this book is currently the latest in the Halo timeline at the time of this writing.
