These audiobooks, most of which were narrated by Tim Curry, are the best I've ever listened to. I didn't think I could enjoy an audiobook until I read these. This is also the first time I've ever read this series and it was very enjoyable. The End, like every other book in the series, left me feeling wistful as many loose ends sort of remained loose. But because this was a common "ending" through the series I'm fine with the "the unknown remains unknown." I don't regret my time spent with these books whatsoever.
