OK Here's a question? David Webber, paticularly the Honor Harrington books. Are the first two representative of the entire series?
Because I like the writing style, but the actual plot grates slightly. I think it just comes down to a main character who is never ever wrong and is doing an audition of universe's most perfect person. I did enjoy the two on the Baen free library but.. I don't know I just got the feeling that the rest of the series would be a bit formulaic. Any comments?

Take my opinion with a grain of salt as iīm a big fan of Honor Harrington, but i alway tought the best books in the sereis were the first one (On Basilisk Station) and the one entitled "The Flag in Exile" (I canīt remember if it is the fourth or fifth of the series), another very good one is the "Echoes of Honor", and while the first 3 novels are a little "formulaic" in nature, from the fourth onwards you have very different plots from a novel to the next.... but donīt expect for Honor Harrington attitude to change, as in all the books she is like the perfect hero...
I myself love the Honor Harrington books, i read all the 10 books of the series, and started to read the subseries based in the same universe, i heartly recommend the series to anyone ...
