The writing just kept getting worse and worse with each book so I think I stopped at number 5 then got bored with it. There are 16 books in the series.

At first it was like a cool fantasy, science fiction kind of read. But then it kept increasing in religious sermonizing.

I kinda liked the depiction of the Antichrist. He was a nasty SOB with magical powers of persuasion. The protagonists got to be too stupid and sanctimonious and I actually started cheering against them.

Never saw the movie and now I'm glad I didn't.
