I listened to these straight through on my way to work or any car ride that would take longer than 20 minutes. All 13. I originally started them because I had seen the movie and I heard that Tim Curry read the audiobooks and then I just wanted to know more about them. It's very seldom that you get a young children's novel (or set of novels) that have no happy endings in them at all. (I'm fond of Summer of My German Soldier and Jacob Have I Loved as well.)
I really enjoyed listening to them. I can honestly say that there were parts that made me laugh out loud and other parts that made me grip the steering wheel in anger.
This brings my total up to 44 for the year so far and I'm in the middle of another that I hope to finish before New Year's. Better than I was thinking. Still worse than last year.
