A Series of Unfortunate Events Box: The Complete Wreck by Lemony Snicket
5.0
Bit of a spoiler about the ending in second paragraph!
The series of unfortunate events is an interesting set of books and light reading though they do get you hooked I was struggling to put them down once I started. There’s a few twists and turns and a quite a few predictable bits as the series continues all the way to the conclusion of the story.
*The ending was something I could not have predicted it leaves it so open and bittersweet. The very final chapter just leaves you wondering what happened after; but I like to think positive and that they got a kind of happy ending. *
I enjoyed Lemony Snickets writing style of putting himself in the story but not totally in the story just a watcher in the background recording everything. His style is interesting with the way he tells you it’s not a happy story and to stop reading. There is also some new words then I learnt because he would use them and then explain saves having to carry a dictionary when reading the books.
Overall they are a great set of books though not totally in my top ten I rate them all together 5 stars.
