You haven't read the books? You lucky, lucky woman ... *gulps* See, before all the hype, I read the first two. They were ok. Nothing special, just ok. Some good bits hidden in a lot of pointless slog, and a REALLY annoying main character (whom I later identified as a Mary Sue.) Then the hype came, I read Book 3, got madder because of my escalating love/DESPISE relationship with the series ... and then Book 4 came out. Book 4 is one of the signs of the apocalypse, I kid you not. DON'T READ THE BOOKS!
(Though 'The Host,' another book by the same hellish author, is actually surprisingly good. Give that a try, I highly recommend that.)
