| Re: Does anybody actually enjoy these books? I loved some of the characters. But as said before, after book 7 I was horrified at how tedious it was becoming, Reading the books became a chore, because I wanted to know what happened next. That is usually why you keep turning the pages but if you don;t get the answers what is the use of reading on?
I actually bough and read book 8 and 9. I bought book 10 and gave up after 50 pages. I bought book 11 and never even read it. And now I am seriously considering just doing away with books 8-11. I guess I am more of a reader that likes to be challenged in a different way. Throw me in the middle of the action. Leave some things unexplained but with some clues for multiple interpretation. But don't make vague promises and prophecies over and over again without actually getting anywhere. It's irritating to me.
Mind you, I did read a lot of other books that I enjoyed a lot more and I also read one or two books that were worse. And I still am grateful for the experience of reading the first book in this series, which was a wonderful experience. |
