OT: Time for another thread on books? (Retorical)

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 i´m 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 can´t 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 don´t 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 ...
