Re: When is one book enough?

I agree. There are very few sequels I've ever enjoyed and an awful lot of writers these days who seem to find a formula and just write a dozen books to that formula, churning them out year after year, like baked beans.

The best authors in my experience, don't do this. They might come up with a new book less often, but when they do, it's nothing like the previous book. I don't mind the occasional series, but really, its getting to the point when my children read a book and immediately look around for the next in the series. When I saw "That's the only book", they look confused, like the author must have been nuts or something.
