the series of unfortunate event's stories are kinda beyond reality, the abilities of the kids and stuff but overall I'm a great fan of them, there's something special on these books, dark but pretty funny as well, addictive ;)
The Series of Unfortunate Events saga is wonderful and comparable to Harry Potter in its greatness. It is so DEEP (I actually had to take breaks while reading because I got so distraught). Definitely not a series for young children. Or if you do read the series while young, I would advise reading it again when an adult. The audio books are awesome, too! Just like the Harry Potter audio books! You don't get everything from the story unless you read it AND listen to it! I think so, anyway!
@92NordicQueen You've just summarized my thoughts perfectly! I returned to the books yesterday and am in disbelief as to their categorization of children's novels. The circumstances are genuinely unpleasant to read, and the thematic elements are so mature. One implication I've noticed is that the line between "good and evil" is blurred, particularly when one's intentions are taken into accountability. A child can't understand that. But they're so wonderfully written; I adore them.
This is probably the best series I've ever read. The story's plot is so complicated and mysterious and the humor's just absolutely one of a kind. Lemony Snicket's a genius.
@Chameleonardodavinci WAIT. TIM CURRY. TIM FUCKING CURRY???? I never cared for the books (I only know about these songs) but now I must reconsider >_>
@georgemillman I believe Lemony Snicket read those, actually. I thought he was very good, he had a more eerie and sorrowful way of reading them. But Tim Curry did the narration voice in the video game for the movie.
@BubblegumMurder Yes, Tim Curry read books 1-2 and 6-13, and Lemony Snicket read 3-5 - that is why I was saying that I wish Tim read those three as well. Even the author admitted that Tim was better than him at reading them allowed. Lemony (Daniel) said in an interview that he found reading the audiobooks to be much more difficult that he expected, which was why he handed the job back to Curry after book five, commenting that he does a splendid job.
i've read them all but i have a very faint memory of them. All i remember was, these books held my attention the longest out of all of the books i've read
oh wow. i was soooooooooo obsesed with this series. i think i started them in 3rd or 4th grade. now i'm a freshman and the series has still impacted my life a lot.
@TheOfficialBackBrace I know, right? I must've finished it at about the same age. I still feel it has changed the way I think about the world and people. I love the series :)
@TheGoaway12345 I read them when I was eight. They aren't very challenging to read but they are hard to understand at a young age. It's good to see that there are other "reading freaks" like me somewhere in the world.
I looooove the song!And the books as well,although there were some stupid details..(for example in book five,sunny could tape while she couldn't even talk?weird!)
There should've been a shooter game based on the VFD schism. I tried picturing what sort of infighting the organisation got into as a video game, and that was what I thought of.
Is it weird I know all the words to this song?
