Yep, read the whole quadrology (or whatever the right term is). I picked up the first one late last year mostly out of curiosity over her sales (cf. ), then read the rest mostly to find out what happens. I have some critiques of the series, but I have to admit that she’s pretty good at writing a page turner. Also, Sandra assures me that 17-year-old girls really can be that intense.

Also, she’s cranked out roughly 2000 pages — and sold millions of copies — while I have yet to finish writing my first novel (in spite of plinking away at it for years). So I have to give her lots of credit for that, as well. ..bruce..
