Best series ever submitted by abergren on June 22, 2017, 9:22am I can't wait to read the next book.

good - a glimmer of hope submitted by VanCancue on July 23, 2018, 12:38pm When the children find support in the form of friends the story picks up in hope in this book only to end badly but still left with more hope than the previous stories as now they have more to look forward to....

Great addition to the series! submitted by Xris on August 28, 2018, 8:32pm Great series for elementary and middle school kids, especially if they're okay with bad things happening to the main characters. In this fifth book, the kids are sent to a horrible boarding school, but Count Olaf is still after them.

good submitted by Satvika on July 24, 2019, 8:06pm You should watch the TV series, along with this, TV show makes you want to read books, otherwise horribly drab

Great book submitted by cathyhuang on August 5, 2019, 4:35pm I love the series but the tv show is good too

AA submitted by amtorrey on July 20, 2022, 12:24am The TV show is just as good as the books
