Very interesting books, the author has thought about absolutely everything… It’s amazing! I read some of it, but not all. I so the film too, but the history is too long to be told, so the film didn’t really make sense. Interesting thou.

I stopped at the 4th book. All the politics and religious bantering got to me...

I stopped at about half of the fourth book too.

I absolutely loved the first three though.

It's been quite a few years since I read those. Maybe I'll give the last ones a try. It might give me a break from the Acoustics book I'm getting for christmas.

Actually I rather enjoyed the possibilities that the 'scattering' brought, and the very end of book 6 ("He can see us now") was a horrible HORRIBLE tease since Frank's other books were incomplete (and caused my family infighting from what I heard). I enjoyed all 6, though I haven't read them since I was a young teenager.
