No time to read rn.
Got up to (but not through) chapter 5 before DNFing.
It's a great book series, I just have so much work to do.

I should’ve been able to read this much faster, but I was in a FAT slump. It is a fast paced read and I thoroughly enjoyed this installment of the Beaudelaire’s tale. It is as dark and traumatizing as the ones before, if not more so.

Minor: Death of parent, Child abuse, and Death

The basis of the series is that these orphans are chased around the world by an abusive "relative" who wants to steal their fortune. Death and misfortune follow them around. It is often brief and not graphic as this is a children's series, but may not be something you wish to read about or have your children read about.
