I really enjoy Lemony Snicket's books. I used to read them all the time when I was younger. They are really simple and quick to get through. This one took me only a day and a half to finish.
I used to find his style of writing somewhat annoying and patronising, but now I really find it interesting and amusing. A good start to the series and I'm now looking forward to going through the rest of the books and finally finding out (many years later in my life) what became of the Baudelaire orphans.

I have read the series to children and enjoyed it as much as they did!
