h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I'll certainly look out for the books and read one.. who knows I might read them all.

They are pretty good. The individual plots get a bit samey, but all the underlying threads - the unstoppable invasion, the hopelessness of the resistance, the effect of war, of killing and all the responsibility that brings, of knowing that that anyone could be an enemy and that if they catch you you'll have no choice in helping to betray your own cause - they are spine-tinglingly chilling. Plus, the books are funny!
"My friends and I fight the Yeerks. But we're just five kids. Well, five kids and one Andalite. Yes, we have some amazing powers, but we're still desperately weak and outnumbered compared to the force of the Yeerk invasion.
We are the only humans resisting the Yeerks.
We may be the only hope that Earth has.
We have a lot on our shoulders.
Which is why I really, really did not see why I had to have more suffering piled on.
Wasn't I under enough stress? Life wasn't bad enough? We had to have...square dancing?" (Jake's voice, from 'The Forgotten').

I think they're good, and I remember liking them, and just reading this article reminds me of some of the more interesting parts, but the problem is they're written at about 3rd grade level, and are very short.

So?

I see to recall I could get through them pretty quickly. They were enjoyable enough for me to have a look for more of them though.
