A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Talk about it here!

"Books? You want books?! Ha! We've got books on hairy otters, on onions and on mars! All the fungus you could care for, plus, three triple zillion stars. We've got books on flossing teeth, plus three books on tossing sheep. If we spent our lives just counting books, we'd never get to sleep!" -Leopold the Librarian ("The Great Wishy Woz")

A Series of Unfortunate Events:

-I attempted to read them, but i sort of got lost in the middle..
-I read the 1st through about 11, but i really wanted to know what VFD was, that i got all messed up in the book, and had to start over, but after that i just lost interest, bcuz i got so deep and i didn't have a clue what was going on in it!!
-my cousins have read them all, but i want to, but I'm afraid that I'll have missed something by taking a big break in b*tween reading. so then I'll just be making my chances of understanding it even harder!! #-o
-i have seen the movie and didn't think much of it. i liked Jim Carrey and everything, but it just didn't seem like they actually read the book, and actually made the movie after. Am i making any sense?!?!?
-A series of Unfortunate Events is overall cool. I should read them again and then get back to you...in...maybe...a while... :anxious:

-my favorite book may be the one in that ice place. yeah.. no idea which one it is...

My dad starting reading me these books when I was only seven and we got through the first five and then he stopped because he felt that they were to depressing... :? and then I read them by myself. I was really disappointed by the movie, however, because it was drastically dissimilar to the books. I think my favorite one is probably the Grim Grotto, which is number 11 I think....
maybe its not the destination, maybe it's the journey

I love the books. I like the author's tongue-in-cheek writing style. Some things are almost cliche- like how all the villains are uneducated, but I think that's part of the charm of the series. However, I did NOT like the movie. The plot was fairly similar to that of the books, but it only covered like the first 3 books. It would have been cool if they would have made a sequel, but I think the actor/actresses who play the Baudelaires are too old now.
Um, I guess this is where I'm supposed to say something funny or interesting.

Love them! I never read the last one because I never wanted it to end. Also I heard it wasn't good so I aslo didn't read it out of fear of disappoint ment. Favorite Book? "The Slippery Slope".
Just smell those burning leaves, the warm baked bread, and the hot apple cider. Ahhh.
