I read this book when I was in school and decided to come back to it when I was looking for a quick read. I really forgot how much I love this series.
1. I was SHOCKED to see that the writing in this book held up over the years. I recently read a couple of the Twilight books and, wow, I can't believe people ever compared the two in terms of writing.
2. The characters are likably flawed. They all have their flaws and characteristics that are unlikable. I think this adds to the realism of the story.
3. An easy read for most. Another thing I love about this book (and the series as a whole) is how short the books are. The story is just long enough to get invested in the characters/plot without having to slog through paragraphs of non-consequential inner dialogue.
Overall, if you're looking for a quick read - this is a great choice!
