It was even made into a movie starring Jim Carry, and if that’s not the Seal of Public Approval then I don’t know what is. On various book review websites, this book routinely gets at least four stars and high praise. By all accounts, this series is extremely popular, loved by many. You may be wondering what has roused this level of bibliorage in me. His pens should be broken, his notes burned, his hard drive wiped and, if possible, his writings should banned by an Act of Congress. I want to do violence towards Lemony Snicket because he’s a terrible writer who should never have been allowed to have his words put to paper. Not because Lemony Snicket has written a book where terribly unfortunate things happen to small children – I have no problems with that and in fact encourage it it builds character. Having said that, the feelings this book evoked in me were… violent. I’ve never seriously threatened anyone with violence, never made anyone feel afraid by my physical presence, never even really seriously considered doing violence to another person. In my lifetime, I have never been in a fight. A Series of Unfortunate Events 1: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket
