Are any of the planescape torment books worth reading? Or are they just fantasy schlock?

Just play the game. It's not the best video game story(they all suck), but at least it's better than your average rpg(and books based on rpg).

I meant the first one, the actual novelization by the Valleses. I know everyone thinks the free copy paste ones are better because le internet did a thing, but they're wrong. Actually I think most people who give your ranking haven't even read any of the versions.

i didn't *read* any of them, but actually played the game, multiple times. started translating the second one into german with help of the game's text data, most of the book were 1:1 dialogue from the game. never finished it though

OP here, I wasn't talking about the novelisations - I've already played the game and don't want a novelisation. I'm wondering whether the spin-off/side-story stuff like "Pages of Pain" is worth reading or not
