" If only there were a way to rate something with a negative star. Really, this series of books would be better if they were less a series and more just the first book, by itself. At the second book, the predictability and word-defining gets tiresome. By the third book, the willful stupidity of the children just gets infuriating. I mean, really: after two books, it seems like they might assume that whatever weird-looking skinny person enters their lives and starts messing with them for no reason is Count Olaf. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, I deserve to be kidnapped and killed by a creepy man with a tattoo on his ankle. "
