You’re kidding. Really???

I read the series…and have mixed feelings. I loved the start of the first book, it was very pleasant. The second and third book were way over my head technology-wise, and the fourth somewhat rocked. The poetry was awesome, as good as Longfeller. I didn’t like Billy, I loved Walter, Bonnie was ok, Professor Hamilton rocked and Hambone stole the show!

But the main thing that bothered me while reading these books was that the kids remained modern, unlike the Door Within where Aidan and the rest slipped into their surroundings considerably better. (The fourth book in the DIOM might be an exception to this disgruntled impression o’ mine.) Anyway, Billy would be like “Rockin’ sword, dude!”

“Step back, cur, or I shall have thine head!” said the dark man, flashing his sword over Billy’s hair.

“Ok, no prob, knight-feller. Peace out!!!”

You git the idear.

I’ve only read the first book, but I liked the fact that they talked modern-style. It was funny, and it makes more sense.

I loved the first two, the idea of flying over your school with a half dragon girl…SWEET! But the third one I had trouble getting into. Maybe I didn’t stick it out long enough, or maybe I was just getting sick of them, after reading the first two right after each other. The last one looks interesting!

I have read the first three. I really like this series. My favorite book is probably the third one. Can’t wait to read the fourth to see how everything works out.
