It's much, much worse. The last book is the only one where ANYTHING happens, and it's all stupid. The rest of the books are plot-free and 500 pages long. (And I have also only read Interview and thought it was goofy and overwrought.)

Stephen Root as the professor whose name I am forgetting.

Tuck Everlasting, anyone? That's the book about death that stuck with me as a kid.
