I 100% cried at the ending as the Baudelaire’s said goodbye to the incredibly deadly viper.

Really enjoying reading this series to my child. She and I both have a similar dark sense of humor and that fits well with these books.

The villain's scheme is more abstract and less gross than in the first one which is much appreciated.

Already started on the next one. I feel like we're going to blow through the whole series this year.

We’ve been reading these with our kids and we’ve all been enjoying them so far! The nature of this series is quite dark but so far they haven’t been too upsetting for our 8 and 11 year old kids.
