How do y’all feel about continuing a series after an author dies? To me, I think one last book can be written to end it, but the series should rest with the author, just my thoughts though. I’m in the middle of a series right now and some random lady is “finishing” it, but she has written like 7 books that show no end. I’m not mad, but I just want to feel the satisfaction of completing a series and having the whole collection.
Showing my age here, but I read the entire Hardy Boys series of books when I was like, 12 or 13 years old. At the time, there were like 125 of them. I enjoyed every single one of them.
Fast forward to my adulthood and I found out that most of them were in fact, not, written by Franklin W. Dixon. I really didn’t care.
As a counterpoint, I did watch every single episode of the Killing Eve T.V. series. Of the 4 seasons it aired, the first one blew it out of the park; second one, really good; third one, good; fourth, meh. Different script writers for all 4 seasons.
Please, if anyone has read the Hardy Boys, you have to read The Brixton Brothers by Mac Barnett. It is one of the best parodies I have ever read. Basically what would happen if a twelve year old fan of the Hardy Boys tried to investigate hardened criminals with the same techniques from the book.
I definitely need to find The Britton Brothers!
Oh noes. Now you’ll tell me the Happy Hollisters were a bunch of sad fakers.
Another childhood series animorphs was heavily ghost written near the end. There was a book a month plus the various chronicles.
