Summary: 

For those who haven't heard of these books from any source but the last posting,
I should mention that there are definitely two schools of thought on this
series of books.  The previous posting summarized one.  The other, in brief,
regards them as overlong, repetitive, and derivative, and considers their
protagonist to be a major pain in the ass.  I belong to this school.  With
no intention to start yet another debate on the merits of these books, I
would like to make it clear that they are not universally admired.  If in
doubt, of course, read them yourself.  The first two should make it clear
whether you wish to continue.
