I was actually kind of surprised that so many people have an 'order' for them, as I still see them all as one story. And with all stories (to some extent) there are ups and downs all the way through depending on each individual reader's point of view. I think it's a fabulous story in it's entirety. I think every part had something to add, and the story would not have been the same if any of the books were left out. But of course, just sharing my humble opinion. I guess it's those ups and downs that people are using to put the parts in the order of their choice. Very cool to see how many different opinions there are.
