genuinely think the cover was the best part of this book, i read all of this in pretty much one sitting and hated almost every second of it. includes descriptions of some horribly upsetting things that serve little purpose and feel like they're just there for shock value, the two characters are both horrible and i hated reading about them, and the ending happens almost out of nowhere and includes zero explanation for the suicide that the book LITERALLY OPENS WITH??

i read this book as required summer reading before my freshman year of high school and to this day it fills me with rage every time i think about it! maybe i'll give it another go someday but honestly my taste in media has only gotten more particular since then so i strongly doubt i'd hate it any less

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
