i was reminded yesterday during a conversation on here how much i enjoyed this series.

i liked the reptile room, the wide window, and the 1 in the freak show (which i can't think of now!)

such fun books

i created this post so we could talk about this series by lemony snicket. has anyone ever read all of them?

what do you think etc

I haven't read any of them. what's the first one? I need to make a list of books for me to read. :d

It was weird because I ended up getting random books from the series at work. THey were entertaining, and felt like one long continuous story instead of a series of short books. But I'm sure I missed a lot of the continuity and so on. I really only read them because I had to, but I enjoyed them anyway, they were fun and full of clever little references to weird literature, old films and so on.

the first one is called the bad beginning

think you'll enjoy the series once you start. even the first one has some good bits in it

The first is usually the best. heheh

For me though the series really seemed continuous. Like he could have written it as one long book instead of twelve short ones. Possibly he even did.

I actually think I read the first book, then felt so bad for the kids that I didn't read on too much farther. My niece loves the books though. Maybe some day on a rainy day I'll read the rest of them.
