A series of Unfortunate Events

i've read them.some of the things he comes up with are so ridiculous they're hilarious 😂

i REALLY dont think the should make a movie

nah.same here.some of it is a bit too draggy and can get rather repetitive.

Of course, Jim Carrey's in it, so it very well could be good. Not sure how well Carrey could pull off evil, though.

I still have to read The Slippery Slope and the 11th one that just came out

I've read the first one and nearly didn't start reading the second one because of how stupid it was. I gave it a try but stopped reading The Reptile Room halfway through after

Spoiler:
Olaf came to the house as "Stefano" and the orphans let him into the house, knowing who it was

i liked them....

These books are either something you get immediately and will adore, or you'll wonder what the fuss is about. The "hook" for the books is that the "author" lemony snicket advises you to read anything but this tale of woe as he recounts the adventures in a dry sorrowful tone.

The books are not happy, the lives of the protagonists are not cheerful - the villains do not get there just deserts. Bad stuff happens to the Baudelaire children, and when the hour is at it's darkest, things become worse and continue downwards until... the book is over and you have to read the next one in the vain hope that things begin to look up.

It's Edward Gorey for the Potter generation, Black comedy for kids, & I think it's safe to say without a spoiler warning that, things do not begin to look in an upward direction for the Baudelaires. At all.

if you can compare it to edward gorey then I certainly must read 'em!

their good (good in this place meaning i couldn't put it down and had to read the first book all in one go) 😄

I didnt Like the books...although I have read like 7 of them...I think that they are way too depressing

I think they are very good because they have a good sense of adventure. I know it's hard to get into the offbeatness of it all and into a story about orphans but eventually i got into it and I read all 11 books. But there will be more to come 👿... Two more(I think) to be more specific.

The books are kinda sad but Lemony Snickets adds too many weird things 4 them to be depressing.
It's funny because everyone they meet are too stupid to see anything that is so obvious to them
Their are so many weird twists and lemony even made up his this name to try and put himself in the plot.

I saw the movie and it was excellent. Never read the books though...

He's an amazing author that writes a series of books called "A Series of Unfortunite Events". They're pretty popular, kinda like Harry Potter books,but a different plot. Anyone know of them?

Yes i have read them but one that, to any one, u don't want to read the first one then go see the movie because well it combines the first 3 books and it is all mixed up and out of order. I'm really impressed with the plot but the movie gives this series no good Justice. However this is a great book for anyone who likes Harry Potter and Narnia series.

Its got a good plot but is very sad
