This book is a bit difficult—because it is very old. The story is alright if you want to dig for it. Jane is a good character, but the rest of them are not the most lovable.

This book is better than the Amazon series (which is probably a given). It’s a little hard to read sometimes, but it’s worth the time.

I think that this book is great. It is fun to read as a whole, but each of the four parts can be read by themselves. Very interesting and funny; lovely for a book in the “canon”
