It's been a week since I kicked off Operation: Reading Rainbow. So far I've finished The Fall of Reach and the Flood and started on First Strike.

Some thoughts:

-Man Fall of Reach is so good. It covers so much ground and does it so well.

-Why did Bungie try to shoehorn in all those retcons in Halo: Reach? It's like Star Wars - it wasn't broke, so why fix it?

-The Flood is definitely underrated. There are some slower parts, sure, but it really adds a lot more depth and backstory to Halo: CE.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the books. If I keep going at this rate I might even have time to reread the comics too.
