That was a concise review.  You made me want to go out and read the books, especially the last books.

It was only concise after a loooot of editing . . . but thank you. Glad I was able to instill curiosity in you. =)

[IAmTheBookie]

Is it a coinsidence that it sounded like you were doing a Daniel Handler (Lemony Snicket) impersonation? Something about the rythm of speech and pronounciation made me think of his voice.

Once I flew on a 16 hour flight from New York to Hong Kong. I chose to instead read all these books before I got to relax or sleep. So I read from 9 pm reading through the night and finish the 13 book the next day at 6am. So I still had a lot longer to do stuff. But I love first class entertainment ( Which had the god awful movie )

@bloodydragon mostly because of him though and for some reason they feel like real people even though i know thier just caracters in a book

[bloodydragon]

@epicmickeymouse123 i read it up on wiki a while ago..it seemed very depressing. but hes gone and those kids went through Hell. a lot of it.

[epicmickeymouse123]

I love this series i will defenitly read this series again when school starts up again so ill have something to read but the end of THE END is soo nice and sweet if you havn't finnished this series (i'm talking about my friend) then you really gotta cuz right when she stoped esme becomes cout olaf's girlfriend (EWWWW) and the carmelita becomes esme's "adopted daughter" this series is one of the most heat felt realistic dagerous just enough gory that it's hard to put down.Please read this series!

[epicmickeymouse123]

@bloodydragon the last one is sad at the end ( just to say count olaf dies)

Most amaxing books series ever!

Lemony Snicket is a genius, or whatever his name is, daniel handler. the series is perfect. It's a tad too absurd to be realistic but its realistic in the way of how the world is. The ugly reality. Its why i love it so much. I read the whole series when I was like 8, now I'm 14 and I'm reading it all over again.. all the little bits in it.. and how the orphans have to make evil decisions for the 'greater good'.. how they get more and more confused. its just perfectly real.

I read them again, after like 5 years? and I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHO BEATRICE WAS! it took some serious paying attention, but basically she was going out with lemony snicket, was engaged, and then left him (yes, this was the obvious part) and then married a very certain baudelaire! that's why lemony cares so much about theyre story... because he was in love with theyre mom... oh, it is such details that make this book series great
