Terrible, disjointed story that made fantastical beasts utterly dull

I loved the first two books of these series but I didn't like the third as much and figured I was getting too old for it. In the interests of finishing what I had started, I put the last three books on my Christmas wishlist. After having received them, I'd finished them by the day after Boxing Day. These books, as a series, are very readable - even if the toilet humour does become a bit overwhelming after a while. This was really the turning point of the set for me: the point in which all the books plots began to draw together and make sense as a bigger picture. All the loveable, familiar characters returned and, all-in-all, I was left wondering why I ever thought I was too old for these books.

I absolutely loved the Pure Dead books as a kid and when they got into the 2nd half of the series I was blown away by the escalation of the stakes while still at it's heart remaining a hilarious and fantastical tale about family love!
