They were fun. It would be interesting to re-read them as an adult. There were a number of things that drive me crazy about them by the end. The women are all shrews, the men are all oblivious, Polgara was a nitwit, children are perfection, and a host of other minor annoyances.

I enjoyed them when they came out. Now, I'm holding onto them for my son (who could probably read them if the format didn't scare him).
