Well obviously I liked the stories enough to read the whole series. But having read the whole series over the course of just a week, I found there were lots of inconsistencies between the different books and it was pretty obnoxious. Little details like saying in the first book how horrible the food was and that they ate the same thing almost every day. And then gradually as Cook becomes a more important and caring character, the description of malls becomes more varied and delicious. Most things were not too obvious but the biggest bother was that the characters' voices and actions didn't feel the same between books.

By the end of book four, I really didn't care about the rest of the series and skimmed a lot through the other books just to find out how the plot would be resolved. ( )
