How well written are they? I've tried a lot of popular books lately and they've been full of plot holes, gratuitous fan fic and exposition plus loads of other shit an editor should have caught.
I found the prose to be serviceable, the plotting/pacing to be quite good, and the characters of varied complexity. It's a fun romp and a light read. The sibling comment about juvenile humor is accurate, you'll have to tolerate a certain level of ongoing sexdoll/fart/gore jokes. It's relatively benign.
The author does seem to think the interior of any living being is made of spaghetti though, based on his description of every injury sustained by any creature.
