Listen. I use the books to try to relate to teens. She captures every age she is writing with extreme clarity. Very impressive. My father in his pediatrics practice has used the 5th book as a reference for frustrated parents of mid teens. The Angst is perfectly displayed in that book. All while writing some great intrigue.
Like shingles on a house, she layers intriguing bits on each other so when you are over one, there is another one that started in the background that makes you want to read on. She is really good that way. It is not kiddy stuff, just has a wide audience. Kind of like the hobbit and LOTR, you can read it as a kid, but you get the most out of it as an adult. this one just sets its sights a bit lower, you just have to be a late teen to get it all...
