Book

The End (2006)

A review of the whole seriesSooooo....wtf mate...what do I do with my time now? This is a series I never read as a child (for reasons I really can't fathom) and decided to visit now as a 27 year old adult. I guess reading is reading and I can fully, fully admit that I would have no problem readin...

The Grim Grotto (2004)

I’m listening to this as read by Tim Curry, which is all things awesome. However: if you’re doing the same, you might want to grab a physical copy long enough to look at the last several pages. Snicket includes six “To My Kind Editor” letters, and Curry doesn’t read them. Which is not his fault, ...

The Ersatz Elevator (2001)

I despise this book. I despise them all. Reading them made me so mad and depressed, and reading reviews of them just amplifies those feelings. People adore these books. They list them among their favorite books of all time. Kids and adults alike love them and say they're great. So I don't q...

The Reptile Room (1999)

These books are amazing. This book is a little darker than the first. It tells you right from the beginning that Uncle Monty will be killed. Other examples of darkness: p. 51 ...he would slit the throats of the Baudelaire orphans as easily as you or I might eat a small butter cookie. p.76 If ...

The Carnivorous Carnival (2002)

I don't know why I thought it would be a good reason to reread this series, I mean the things that happen to the Baudelaire children are more than unfortunate, rather they are downright dreadful and nauseating. I had forgotten some of the horrible things that happened to the Baudelaires and it’s ...

The Austere Academy (2000)

I read the book, "The Austere Academy" by Lemony Snicket. I liked this book, as I have been reading The Series of Unfortunate Events. This book was just another great writes Lemony Snicket has done, making this book exciting and suspenseful. Overall, this is a great book with a fantastic plot, li...

The Wide Window (2000)

At this point in the series, "Lemony Snicket" decided he could do a better job reading the books than Tim Curry. Really? He may be able to play the accordion, but he's no Dr. Frank-N-Furter. (According to Wikipedia, he eventually handed the audio book responsibilities back over to Curry.) So ...

When we last left the Baudelaire Orphans, they were fleeing from Count Olaf and entering a car with a woman in the back seat who they had never seen before. That woman was Kit Snicket.

The Bad Beginning (1999)

I am not a violent man. In my lifetime, I have never been in a fight. I've never seriously threatened anyone with violence, never made anyone feel afraid by my physical presence, never even really seriously considered doing violence to another person.Having said that, the feelings this book evo...
