There was a big crate of 'em in the supermarket yesterday, so purchased a copy. They were disappearing at a modest rate, but there was no feeding frenzy at the trough.
I finished it this morning. This book was aimed more at teenagers. The characters are no longer black & white. The good guys are fallible. There are some love interests, although nothing steamy.
Reading the first books brought on a feeling of nostalgia for those early school days, when 'O' levels were years away, homework was modest & life was simpler. This book reminded me more of my uncertain teenage years and didn't provide the escapism offered by the earlier books, nor the mature viewpoint provided by books intended for adults. It was like being a teenager again; no longer a child, yet not yet an adult.
