1: Not so great...
I bought this because I love Stargate SG-1, and because I've enjoyed many of Ashley McConnell's books in the past. This one, however, was a disappointment. It seemed incredibly rushed, as though maybe she had a very short amount of time to write it and no time to edit it.
Basically, it felt like nothing more than a transcription of the episode. Very little characterization, none of the things I'd expect in a novelization, like getting into their heads to see motivations or feelings. There were a LOT of mistakes with continuity and with editing, even some spelling mistakes! Overall, it was very disappointing. I gave it 2 stars, because it is still Stargate SG-1, and because there is a hint of Jack/Sam... other than that, it wasn't worth reading.

2: quite ok - if you like that sort of thing..
McConnell's first was a novelization of the pilot episode. Now, I should admit my bias right away: I'm not a fan of novelizations in general unless they actually add to the story, and this one didn't. It just inserted the thoughts of the various characters through the episode(s), and hey -- we can do that ;) However, I think the author stayed mostly true to the characters, and it's fun to visualize the episode while you're reading. Probably the best of the bunch.

3: Like reading the script
This book follows the pilot of the tv show almost exactly which isnt a bad thing if you prefer reading to watching tv. I my self enjoed both and if you enjoy a good book try this one.

4: One of my favorite Stargate SG-1 books.
When I first found out that there were going to be books based on the series Stargate SG-1, I purchased this book immediately. The books are just as interesting and entertaining as the series. I read this book for the first time and I enjoyed it right away. I also enjoyed the series very much. I think that this book is very suspenseful, exciting, entertaining, interesting and worth reading. I think that all fans of the series Stargate SG-1 will enjoy reading this book as I did.

5: Excellent Novelization
I've just started watching the show, so this novelization of the pilot was great for me. The text is very fast paced and really moves (just like the show!). This book is a nice quick read (only took me 2 hours to read). The only possible weak link is the inexplicable defection of Teal'c; thought it's later explained in the series here it's just a bit too deux ex machina.
