kristinahorner 's review for:

The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket
4.0

After watching the first 4 episodes of the new ASOUE series on Netflix, I decided to pause while I re-read books #3-4. I'm so glad I did, because I remembered very little in terms of details past book two, having read these book over a decade ago.

I'm happy to see they still hold up and are tons of fun to revisit. And I'm loving the new series, so well done NPH and crew! Such a brilliant and faithful adaptation.

My only gripe in this 2017 re-read is the insensitivity around the person in Count Olaf's theatre troupe "that looks neither like a man or a woman". Times change. That's a little cringey, and I'm embarrassed for the series each time it comes up.

However. I love these books. Can't wait to read the Miserable Mill next.
