"thank heavens it's over"???? Really? I'm only up to chapter 12 (three of us are taking it in turns with the book - it will be my turn again in a couple of minutes)and I'm reserving judgement till I'm a bit further on but I am wondering if it (like the last two books) might not have benefited from a little stricter editing.
Oh, my turn now! Back soon!
Not thank heavens the BOOK is over - I thought it was one of the best - but the whole hoopla and fuss about the whole phenomenon. No more endless articles on the security arrangements, no more endless speculation on how it will end, no more endless complaints from booksellers about the way the publishers treat them...
As for the books - I think seven was too many. I thought the same about John Marsden's brilliant Tomorrow When the War Began series: five and six could have been skipped almost. There are problems with announcing in advance how many books will be in a series - the writer can wind up having to spin the story out way more that is needed in a narrative sense. Anyway, by the time by girls get to read them, they'll just be books again, rather than a cultural event with all the whistles and bells, and I'm quite pleased about that :)
