Well personaly I think the third book is somewhat of a letdown, but the first two are more the worth it. Thing is, and I looked it up, the first two books are written in 1946 and 1950 and are more of a continueing story. The last one is written in 1959 (the point where the writer lost foces as you said), and is in fact more a story on it's one with a connection the first two, only because a character playes along but in a complet different setting. Haveing in mind the original setting, the castle, is one of the strongest aspects of first two.

well to end this liturary speech: read the first two, begin with the third and after 20 pages decide if you wan't to go on. The idea you get from that first 20 pages, gives you a good idea what the rest will be like. The last book isn't totally bad however, just in comparison with the former it sticks out somewhat odd. I can imagine people would like that one especially.
