I don't know anyone personally that has actually read the whole series, including myself.

I think I have? There might be a side book or two I missed, I think I only read one of the choose your own adventure ones. But I read the main series all the way to the end and the ‘main’ side stories (Hork-Bajir Chronicles, etc). I enjoyed the hell out of it as a kid, it definitely influenced a lot of my anti-war feelings.

    You can get the ebooks for free with the author's blessing. I started reading them as a kid when they were new but couldn't find the books readily enough. Found them again as an adult and read the whole series. It's far better written than anything Rowling has ever penned and has the added benefit of Applegate being an actual decent human being.
