    I really enjoyed the first and third books, especially the first one, which took me a long time—over 20 hours. I actually finished them all; it's relatively short and quite enjoyable. I loved reading it. I once stayed up all night to finish it, probably more than two hours, but it was calculated to be 20 hours long. Oh well. I also really liked the last one, but I forgot the plot.
