More like 3.5*.
I've started reading this series because of the Netflix show. I've never read these books before but I did watch (and enjoy) the film. I know I would have enjoyed this book more when I was younger, but I did enjoy it now anyway, and I'm intending to read the rest of the series too (hoping that I'll enjoy them more as the series progresses, but we'll see).

Neil interpretation of Count Olaf made me fall in love with this story so I really had to read it. I think the thing I like the most is probably the narrator tho

I watched the show years ago and I’ve been intrigued with reading the books, but I’m so happy I got my hands on the audiobook! It was immersive and well done and I could picture every scene in the show perfectly (which is a talented skill, especially since it’s been like 5 years since I watched it). I really enjoyed this and I hope to continue it in the future
