Well, it satisfied your curiosity and it didn't disappoint, even if it didn't wow you. I'm guessing all those people who read so many of them are just huge fans of the series and are using the books to keep it going in the imagination? Either way, I'm also happy to know that I haven't missed anything by passing them up. ;-)
: ) Nice review & I love the shirt! : ) I was planning to read Trick or Treachery sometime this week but after seeing your review I'm anxious to go ahead and start it now.
