  Agreed, one of those books you wish you could forget completely and read all over again blind for the first time.

    I reread the whole series (plus the 5th book, that was written way later) after a 25+ years hiatus and trust me, it was great...

  Wow thanks, already grabbed the first book and came back to others strongly agreeing - looking forward to checking it out.
