The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

adventurous dark hopeful mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

the first time i read this series i was in 4th grade and i have probably never been the same since! i had forgotten just how detailed the descriptions of olaf's abuse are and MAN some of it had my skin crawling, i don't know how snicket managed to write such messed up stuff and somehow still have it be palatable to children but somehow the man found a way and i gotta applaud him for it
