Book Review: Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events...sort of

Most of you probably know that there's a series of children's books out there by a fictious author (Lemony Snicket) called A Series of Unfortunate Events. What you might not know is that this series is THIRTEEEN books long. That's right! Thirteen! Now, I'm a fan of series just like the next guy. In fact, I prefer series books. Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight, Hunger Games, Percy Jackson...all great. Lemony Snicket, ehhh, not as great. It tells the story of three children who become orphans when their parents die in a house fire. Each book then gives an account of a new guardian with a weirdo obsession (grammar, things that are "in", crows). Count Olaf is the main bad guy. He's after the Baudelaire fortune and dresses up and finds the children wherever they go. The adults in this series are apparently idiots because they never recognize him. The guardians always come to horrible ends (poison, chainsaw) leaving an opportunity for the next book. The series is too long. I've given up on it. I read the first eight or nine, but they're so predictable and there's not really anything interesting to keep me going. Our library doesn't even have the 13th book. So I quit. Yep, I'm a quitter. Oh well! I'll just look up what happens on Wikipedia. I've moved on to another series by Nora Roberts. I've never read anything by her before, but she has about a million books so I decided to give her a try. So there's my review.
