I only read the first book and I loved it. Though, I have to admit, that was years ago and I find it very hard to find interesting or engaging fiction any longer, let alone science fiction which tends toward kitsch a lot of the time.

William Gibson, Dan Simmons and Iain M Banks withstanding.

I heard the subsequent books were no where near as good as the first, so I never read them. Indeed, didn't his family (or estate) sell the rights? I have vague memories of "ghost written" titles in the series that Frank had nothing to do with.

Either way, the first book was great. I can't comment about the others.

What did you think of the movie? There was also a big-budget mini-series recently that got good reviews.
