nice job
you did a really nice job, yet i do have a small problem-- you did not folow the actual story. MC was in fact a normal kid, just really smart, and his parents were normal people. the human race in fact created the spartans from really intelligent and strong kids that they searched for around the galaxy. during the change from human to spartan, he had an inner struggle to as who he was and finnaly settled on the concept as being the savior of the human race. about 50 other kids died in the shift, as well as 6 some other spartans that survived the transition. the covenant war had been going while he was growing up, in fact, that is the reason they had become spartans. the way that you depicted reach, however, was funny, so i don't mind the shift from what really happened. the chapters lacked what really happened, but the parrody parts where good. i really liked most of it. if you want to know what really happened, read the three books.
