A review by maeverose
The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

2.25

I like the writing style but dislike that this book falls so heavily on the ‘certain physical traits make you bad or scary’ trope. It’s ableist, fatphobic and transphobic. Also pretty misogynistic at times. I wanted to read these books because the movie was a childhood favorite of mine and I liked the little bit of the netflix show that I watched, but I didn’t like this first book as much as I’d hoped I would. I own the next two so I’ll at least read those.
