First english written STALKER book is out

That would make it not only a first for a book based on a video game, but probably a miracle as well. And technically, since the game is linearly descended from a book, it would the second book...

There's also the film :D
 
Reading very well so far, i was a bit dubious on the whole al qaeda thing, but it fits very well.
Ive read a lot of books based on games and books games are based on; Dragon Age books, Mass Effect books, Metro 2033. All have been very good reads, Metro 2033 was 10/10 for me, still waitng for Metro 2034 to get printed in english. I saw the Elder Scrools book but it didnt get very good reviews, so its on the rainy day list.
 
On a totally unrelated note;

Has Metro 2034 been translated yet?

Only in German.

Just finished the book. Good start and good end. The middle of the book is a bit wishy washy, but still a great read. Some of it hasnt been translated very well.
I felt the middle part of the book tried too much to be like a computer game with lots of quest type missions. i.e. if you want the info i have go here do this then come back to me. Seemed a bit pointless.

I got stuck into another book half way through STALKER, but when i went back to STALKER i pretty much read it non stop. The book definatally gets better after the prot meets the tribe.
 
I forgot about this thread.

I read about 30% of this book before finding out that Kindle lets you refund books you find are a pile of ****. Handy really. :)

Aww, you stopped before it really took off. nm. Any thoughts on why you didnt like it?

Is that true about the refund thing? I think ive only ever bought two books and not finished them, but one of them is on my kindle, would love to get a refund on it!

If it's anything like the game then before you could truly enjoy it you'd have to download a further 500 pages, rip out the ones in the current book and replace them with the new ones... :p
