I'll probably finish book four, since I already have it and I believe it ends the series. Besides, I'm morbidly curious about whether it will actually get worse... and it's not like they're big time sinks. A couple of days per book ain't bad. Besides, I keep reminding myself that John Scalzi is contributing to the upcoming anthology; surely there's some redeeming quality somewhere...

At about 75% finished with book three, it's looking like a two-star rating. Much of it's on par with book two, but the ick factor of chapter two costs it a star. That's not a final decision, though; there's the slim chance that the last chunk of the book could be completely amazing and earn that third star back. I'm not holding my breath, but it's possible.
