By Lemony Snicket
Series of Unfortunate Events are about 3 kids who lose their parents in a fire. They then go to a far away relative named Count Olaf. But, all he is interested about is the money and diamonds in their fortune. A they go from home to home trying to escape from him but he always finds him. He killed, kidnapped, did anything he could to get his hands on the money. The good news is in the end they always got away.
I like this book because it has a lot of drama. You can kind of sense what is going to happen, but not all the time.
If I were to rate this book on a scale from 5 stars to 1 star, 5 being the best, 1 being the worst, I would rate it a 4. It was a good book but, some of it doesn't make any sense. But, I would really recommend it.
I really enjoyed this book as well. It's really unique how in this series, good doesn't always triumph over evil, just like in life. However, sometimes I need a reprieve from the vileness of the world, and the series can get a little depressing. I know it was very saddening to me when Olaf killed characters I was emotionally attached to.
ReplyDeleteYa, he liked to kill. That was one thing I didn't like about him.
DeleteI read one of the books in this series and watched the movie. I thought they were very different from each other and I liked the movie a little more because it was easier to not get attached to all of the characters. Have you thought about doing the book to movie reading challenges for this book?
ReplyDeleteI've never actually seen any of the movies. I have found that when I watch the movies to the books I like they are so different. It mad me so mad I just stopped watching the movies unless I had to.
