Re: A Series of Unfortunate Events
I quite liked them when I was younger, but now that I look back, I find them repetitive.
It's like this:
-One of the kids gets stolen
-They get that person back
-Life continues being miserable
Every book seemed to follow that pattern.
Edit:
I forgot to add:
-Klaus does something brilliant that pertains to a book he once read
-Violet invents something
-Sunny bites thingsLast edited by Hyorinmaru; 03-14-2013 at 11:30 PM.

Death Note RPG.
Re: A Series of Unfortunate Events
I thought they were good when I was younger but I doubt I'd appreciate them now.

Yeah, I don't think I would like them as much as I did when I was young, if I were to reread them.Last edited by -Holy Cross-; 03-14-2013 at 11:35 PM.

Re: A Series of Unfortunate Events
To put the books in a better light, because really––I've never met a book (besides Lord of the Flies) that I didn't like. They are written well, and have plenty of humor in them and were probably my favorite series before I met Harry Potter. Originally Posted by -Holy Cross-

Into the dark I go. Searching
as always, for that sliver of
light.
Re: A Series of Unfortunate Events
I wanted to read the books... But only ever saw the movie. I assumed they were going to make more, guess not.

Re: A Series of Unfortunate Events
I remember when I was a wee lad, I would buy the new SOUE book at the school book fair every year.
Along with a bunch of other worthless shit

Not sure, kinda rings a bell though.

Patience, Forgiveness,
Honesty, and Loyalty are
virtues of life, one must
master this to be in a state
of true happiness.
Re: A Series of Unfortunate Events
I can remember reading them all in the 8th grade.... They were very good though somewhat predictable. And as I notice a lot of people saying that they wouldn't like it as much now as they are older, I would just like to remind you all that it is a series for CHILDREN and YOUNG ADULTS. Lemony Snicket wrote more books for adults.
