For me, this was always the book series that got away from me. I never read these as a kid, and I'm so disappointed about that now because this book was lovely. I know young-Reggie would have enjoyed this a lot. It was weird, and disturbing, but in the same right the story was also a lot deeper and fun than I expected. I listened to this as an audiobook and the production value on this audiobook is other worldly good. It's such a high quality audiobook, so if you decide to pick this up or reread this series, I highly recommend the audiobook route.

This book is probably one of the most well written children’s books to ever exist. It is easy to read and the story is incredibly fun. I have always loved Lemony Snicket, but reading this as an adult really enlightened me!

I read it because I loved the TV show and it’s almost as amazing. The TV show really honours its source material, but has the pros of the outfits, aesthetics ... Still the book was funny, cleverly written and never dull. I had an amazing time figuring out the differences with the show or recognising quotes from it. Even though it’s a children’s book, you can really dig deep and find themes that are very mature. (a bit like Harry Potter in that sense.)
