I've read the series myself and liked it. I've been reading sci-fi, fantasy, westerns and everything else forever it seems like. My grandfather was a big fan of westerns and had all of Zane Greys books. I actually learned to read from his reading them to me, before I started school. I still have them in my collection. Getting back on topic, If it's sci-fi or fantasy, odds are I've read it at some point in time.
