I can't remember the last time I heard so many raves about a book/series!

I'm thinking about getting the first one... has anyone gotten into the series?

I saw these at the book store last weekend - saw the huge raves on the front....but I ended up going with something else
I had never heard of them, so was surprised to see the raves/awards!

@mrsjazz: Maybe it's just my old neighborhood, but my bookstore went nuts over the latest release!

The reviews have been amazing:

I've never heard of them either!

LOVED them!
Eta: it's hard to shell out $15 for each one because the graphic design is so unbelievably hideous. But they're so good I was staying in to read instead of going out for regularly scheduled activities

@mrbee: weird that I've never heard of these because I read a lot. I have to admit the books don't sound *that* interesting to me.

I'm reading my brilliant friend right now!! It's very engrossing so far!

I loved them and have read all four. Very good storytelling and an engaging story, and well written.

They've been on my Amazon wish list for ages, mainly because I keep hearing people IRL and online raving about them. Haven't read them yet though!

I've never heard of them, but I'm a little intrigued now.

I'm reading My Brilliant Friend right now and liking it a lot!
