I hate it too, but I'm not even telling my son...he will drive me nuts til it comes out. Although I really can't complain, anything that has a 9 yr old boy taking hours out of his life to read is good...he just finished reading the fourth book and is about to start the fifth one. Actually, at the rate he reads, he should be just about done with the fifth book when the sixth one comes out. In a way I'm jealous, I never have a book last until the next one comes out.
