I was just wondering if you think the new version is good enough to warrant rereading it with the updates, how well it compares, and if you personally (because I guess it is really totally irrelevant, but I am asking anyway ) enjoyed it and didn't get thrown off by the changes.
I enjoyed most of the changes she made. I think maybe I don't use cell phones as much as the younger folks do because it was a bit jarring when Nita used hers as an alarm clock instead of having a separate clock/radio. Otherwise it was nice to see updated computers and ebook readers in use in the books. I think Diane Duane did what she intended, they are just modernized versions of the original books. The main positive change is that Dairine has a consistent age throughout the books instead of getting younger and older as the books change.
