I just cant wait around for years to finish a damn series so I have never read any. I am sure they are outstanding but I cannot live my life around a UPS delivery...which by the one, my friend preordered hers months ago and didnt receive it this morning---she is beside herself

I have not read any of them. I think I may read them all now that the last book has been released.

I pre-ordered mine. It should be at my door right now. Unfortunately I won't be anywhere near my door for another week. *sigh* so much for planning! But I will be diving into it ASAP.

Well, I am, but not #7. Just about to start #5. I had thought about just running out to pick up #7 today and read it, but I'm going to just finish re-reading the first 6 first so I have everything fresh in my brain and can "savor" this last one.

I finished book 7 in the wee hours of Sunday morning.
I'm thinking you were smart to put off reading them until they were all out--one problem I had with the last book was that I had so long to ponder the possibilities of what could happen that I ended up guessing/predicting everything almost exactly right so there were few surprises (although still a very, very good read--I may have had the main points right, but all the stuff in between was what kept it interesting)! Going straight from book 6 to book 7 without agonizing over every possibility would keep it all fresh and allow the story to unfold on its own without your own ideas getting in the way.
