Audiobook - 24 hours - Another difficult book to rate and review given both the nostalgia of this book, and also the way the views and actions of its author have tainted it. Admittedly, the main reason I have reread this series is my need to have some kind of media playing in the background as I try to sleep, and at my parents' house, this has to be some kind of 'appropriate' audiobook. I cannot say that this book (or this series as a whole) is not objectively good. It is for the most part well written, and the plot is incredibly engaging. I do now see some of the issues that I missed as a child though, and the way the author refuses any criticism of these elements, almost cyberbullying anyone who brings them up in front of her, is more unacceptable than the issues themselves, as most of them are most likely accidental rather than intentional. However, this does affect my enjoyment of the book, but rating objectively, this is a good conclusion to the series.
