Message: [QUOTE="RustySK, post: 307493, member: 1411"] I rarely read books that are part of a series, but when I do I usually either want to finish them or feel a compulsive need to because some part of me thinks that I gotta see all there is to it - you started it, you have to finish it, that kind of thing. Last series that happened with was Steven King's Dark Tower series. Generally I'm not a huge fan of the series format. In my experience the quality of the writing inevitably starts to drop at some point or characters start to morph into something different or plot points get muddled and so on. I'm sure there are exceptions to this and I just don't know them! Still, feels counterproductive to me. Give me a nice, finished and complete one-shot over that any day. Things like the Discworld do it best, I think - a series of (mostly) disconnected one-shots in the same setting works much better to me. That said, I've only read a handful of those. [/QUOTE]
