Some co-workers have told me that this super popular series doesn’t get good until about the 6th book, but I’ll never know because I hope I never have to read another one. The main character did grow on me a little bit (as promised), but not that much. The writing style was juvenile, cliched, tacky and unimaginative. I found the book sexually crass, and for me that might be a first. I can’t imagine recommending this to someone’s grandma. Or to anyone.
