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
Graphic: Child abuse, Emotional abuse, Grief, and Death of parent
Moderate: Adult/minor relationship and Alcohol
