Rather harsh, and I think the Time Paradox's timeline is... consistent?
...Wait, no, okay, it's really not. Hell, he just plain ran out of ideas for antagonists at that point, didn't he?
If I'm gonna be honest, I think you're overselling the first three a little; the third's ending wasn't bad, but I wouldn't call it "perfect," and the way it was undone in the fourth at least made some kind of sense.
i care but i'm restless, i'm here but i'm really gone, i'm wrong and i'm sorry, baby

I prefer stopping after Book 5 myself. Book 3 is a terrible ending point for the series. Book 5\'s ending leaves far more open.
If you're going to put up a review of something, MAKE SURE IT HAS A PAGE FIRST!

Just stop reading after the third book
The first book was refreshingly unusual, featuring a clever main character and a clever plot The second book was a little bit weaker, but worked still fine. The third book was brilliant, with great twists and an ending which was the perfect tie in to the prologue of the first book.
The fourth book ruined the series. Not only did it undo the perfect ending of book three, from this point onwards it became more and more unreadable with each instalment, partly because the author wasn't able to keep the main figure a true criminal, but also because useless characters, time travel (of the "this doesn't make ANY sense" kind) and "let's just change the rules to bend the story however I like it" moments where thrown in.
So, read book 1-3 and enjoy. But don't make the mistake to read more, it will just ruin a perfect memory.
