lets start at the beginning.

These books were so so fantastically, whimsically dismal, and I loved reading them so much when I was younger (and now!) and waited for each one to be released. Also, I adore Brett Helquist’s brilliant illustrations. I know the kids are into ‘The Twilight Saga’ right now, which by the way, comprises of four books and spans about a year and a half. Hardly a ‘saga’.Mr Snicket published 13 of these beauties. That’s right, 13. 41 languages, 60 million copies. And Count Olaf was way, way creepier than sparkly evil vamps. Jus’ sayin’.  I am totally re reading these over the summer. Sorry school reading list. And sorry Twilighters.

    The books bored me. I finished, but it took me forever. I kinda liked the ending. The movie sucked.
