Do I have to read the rest of the series or novel to understand a story that occurs in the middle of it?

Most of the novels and stories in series are designed so that you don't need to have knowledge of what came before; any information you need is included within the story itself.

In a very few cases, a summary of previous events will be included at the beginning of the story. This is written in as entertaining a manner as possible, to prevent you from falling asleep during the summary.

A lot of these stories were written out of order, so there's no harm in you reading them out of order. However, you should be aware that later stories in a series often contain major spoilers for earlier stories.

How do I watch and download a booktrailer video?

To watch, just click on the link to watch the trailer.

To download, follow the instructions next to the link for downloading. If the file you have downloaded doesn't open in your regular media player, here are some free players that you can use to play the video:

VLC Media Player. Plays FLV and MP4 files on Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and other platforms.

Wimpy Standalone FLV Player. Plays FLV files on Windows and Macintosh.

Martin Devisser's FLV Player. Plays FLV files on Windows.

With both FLV players, all that you need to do is drag-and-drop the file name onto the screen to start the video playing.
