Wow. These are quite good. Nothing like the movie I saw. But Amazon. I borrowed the second book on my reader, finished it, had to then go to the computer to return it, back to the reader to borrow number three. Sent a teeny bit snarky email to Amazon about the inefficiency (I wanted to say stupidity of this system. What if you’re not near a computer?) of this method. We’ll see what they have to say about it. Sometimes I think they just don’t think things through.

My kids practically ate these when they first came out and I read them, too! Much better than the movies.
By the way, have you read Phillip Pullman’s His Dark Materials trilogy? DO NOT watch any movies of this, my kids say they’re terrible.
Have not read these, but will look into it. Thanks. Books are almost always better than movies. Always see the movie first, because if you read the book first, the movie will just spoil the whole thing. I am seldom NOT disappointed when seeing the movie after reading the book.
