I only remember reading this series once but apparently I reread it two years ago? Huh. I related to the characters a lot more on this reread. I'm not sure what that says about me.

I think every time I read the series I think I'll never read it again but here I am on my second reread so never say never. It's a light series. Very easy to read. Definitely not perfect, but O'Malley is only getting better as he writes, so that's good.

Overall this isn't a bad series. It's entertaining, the characters are memorable. The story drags at times and there are tangents that I found unnecessary and uninteresting. But I'm not mad that I reread it. I think I'll stick to the movie from now on though.

It feels like the series is running out of steam, like it didn't need to be six volumes (though the sixth volume is pretty huge...).

More of the same. Continued use of the r-slur. The characters are getting kind of annoying.

This book seems like filler at the beginning, but a lot of dangling plot points are resolved at the end, so I liked it more than I thought I would.

Fighting and flashbacks. The books are getting weirder. I'm not sure so much time needed to be spent on Todd. There's lots of girl hate in the books that's pretty wearing.
