I loved these books so much when I was a kid. I started the series when I was in 3rd grade and ended up reading all the books. I own them now too.

I haven't read them as an adult for the very reason of finding unrealistic elements and major plot holes that would have gone unnoticed as a child. I love the memories the series holds for me and I'm a little hesitant that rereading them might ruin it.

Maybe I'll give it a go at some point.
