I love a good series, and if I'm being honest, I don't mind a half decent series if I fall in love with the characters. A Series is like shopping. When I go to the store, I like to run in, get what I need, and get out with little or no thought. I don't like to look around. I don't like seeing what new products are out there. I want to get what I need and go. (Unless, of course, it's a book store, than all bets are off.) And that's why I love a Series. In the first book, I meet the characters and if I find them mildly entertaining, I am ready to follow them on their journey until the Series ends. I HATE it when a great series ends. After Deathly Hallows, I felt so sad and empty, I reread the entire series again, but it only made the emptiness worse. (Note: I re-read each book in the series, every time a new one came out, so yes, I am a Harry Potter geek. Actually, I tend to do this with every series if I have to wait more than a few months...
