Honestly everyone I know has recommended these books to me. So I finally cracked and decided to read the series. I saw the movie a long time ago, so I could connect the dots about what would happen. Frankly, I liked the author's style and writing better than the book itself. It was an okay story, but I like Lemony Snicket's tone. He'd use big fun words (well not always big but still fun) and then give descriptions of them and constantly just talk directly to the reader.

But hey look I can finally tell people I'm reading the books.
