The books, well... I liked "The Last Wish" and "The Sword of Destiny", so the short storys. And I liked the first two novels. Really, I loved them! The other ones were not bad, tough. But "Baptism of Fire" and "The Swallow's Tower" just had too much blood and gore, for my opinion, and too little time with geralt himself.But if you played the games, or want to play the games: Buy. The. Books. Seriously, it's so enriching to read about little details, you didn't care about in the games, but when you read the books, you suddently understand the game so much more then before. And also, the story just blows your mindHope I could help you, but sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native speaker^^
