Well, we've read all three (my wife, me, my 8-year old) I'm rather
embarrassed to admit that I stayed up until midnight to finish the third one
simply because it was the only time I could read it without fighting over
who's turn it was with the rest of the family.
They are quite well done. Its rather astounding how they work over such a
wide age spectrum. My kid can't wait for Halloween....he's already bought an
old broom and painted it to look like a FireBolt.
