I would like to recommend Mike Brown's book "How I killed Pluto and Why it Had it Coming" as an excellent summary of history of solar system bodies discovery as well as his personal involvement in it. I have been much more accepting of the changes since reading that, and I would actually like to see more changes made in the way we classify planets as a result, as the current descriptions still don't fit all that well in my opinion.
As for the discovery of the 4th and 5th moons of Pluto, there's an interesting story behind that I'd love to be the one to tell one day soon (2nd hand, but still close to the source!)...I've just got a couple of other things to do first...
