For what it's worth I had much the same initial reaction - then I started the first book a few months ago in a fit of boredom - I went through all four in less than a week. I'm a fan now.... and I'm honestly not sure why the books were ever given the label "kids books" at all.
They're really not. They're ABOUT kids, sure - but the plots are not at all childlike. They're much more "Huck Finn" than "Hardy Boys".
