And have never finished any of them.<br /><br />I recently took a look at the last book, after having seen the first part of the film version, and found the writing style to be, not altogether but still noticeably, different.<br />So she doesn’t seem to have just changed the story, but to a certain extent the way it is written as well, word choice, sentence structure etc.<br />If I had picked up the last book first I would probably have read more of them than I have.<br /><br /><br />I think it would be interesting to see how the series fares in future.Garry G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10413895048743576038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-154649561836238014.post-67819544316595564312011-06-13T11:33:16.660-07:002011-06-13T11:33:16.660-07:00I know that right now the kids who start reading t...I know that right now the kids who start reading the books at ages ten, eleven, and twelve, generally end up finishing them around ages ten, eleven, and twelve. While the first book may seem to be set for a radically different age group than the last, the series isn't so mature by the end that it has to be drip-fed to younger readers.<br /><br />Reader maturity isn't all that black-and-white. Some readers may end up picking it up later than they might have when the series first started out, but others will probably still pick it up at age seven or eight regardless of the contents of the following books.Penhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258514554021130617noreply@blogger.com
