Excellent learning series
This book set is definitely worth it. My son loves going to bed at night, just so we can continue reading and see what unfortunate event has happened next. I love that while the story keeps him entertained, that he is also learning the meaning and correct way of using words, from the authors ingenious way of weaving lessons into the stories.

Brilliant!
Absolutely in love with these books. Currently rereading them myself. Fantastic read. Highly suggest it. The writing and stories are unique and not like your typical average young reader books. They are filled with a wonderful variety of characters. The books are written in the most perfect somewhat dark sense of humour throughout. A very good read!

Wonderfully written!
I read the first book for a book report when I was ten years old. I was hooked from the first page! From then on I devoured each book in the series. Lemony Snicket's writing is captivating. His use of alliteration in his titles are creative and fun. Each book is full of twists and turns that will keep you hooked!

Really great series. Humourous and touching all at once, the author/narrator is wonderfully witty and I think parents and children alike will enjoy the series! I recommend the boxset because it has better value quantity/cost.

Simply Wonderful
I remember having all of the books (in a mixture of paperback and hardcover) when I was younger and having only read book 8. 9, 10 and 12 (weird right?) Anyway I haven't touched them in a while and the new netflix series reinvigorated my interest in them and when I saw this box set here and at that price I couldn't pass up the chance. I can't wait to finally read the series from start to finish!!

Favourite series!
I started reading these books in elementary school and continued reading into my teenage years. Daniel Handler aka Lemony Snicket can twist and play with words like no other and his style is a delight to read. Although the unfortunate events are numerous, this is more than a depressing read. The Baudelaires are truly resilient and it's inspiring and comforting all at once. #plumreview

The first book I've ever read
I first read this book when I was in Grade One and I loved it. The story of Violet, Klaus and Sunny is undeniably tragic and had me hooked. The language is sophisticated and challenging, but not impossible for younger kids to read. Would recommend again and again!

Nice reads but...
this books are really lovely to read but I found if you start them or try to reread them later in life they aren't the best. I would still recommend them but would warn that older readers be prepared for the occasional talking down to and predicability

Once again... another great buy!
I read the whole series as a kid, and after several re-reads throughout my teen years and young adult years, my copies were very worn. Passed my old set onto a friend and bought these boxed beauties! Such a great series, which really differs from anything I have ever read. Not to mention, I like how the storyline never really gives you a complete 'fairytale' happy ending for each book. Even in the final book, Mr.Snicket really shows us how life isn't always fair but nonetheless can and will still improve over time. The books themselves contain some humor, but always have a looming dark undertone. Also, since the books are based on the true events of a case that happened around the 1930's-40s, as you read and remember this, you really are awe struck at what these children endured. Perfect for any age from 10-100! You can't go wrong with these books!!! PS--- Do not watch the movies or new netflix series before reading these, while as the movie did a good job capturing the mood, the books were completely out of order, and they only included the first three, with an ending that they pulled out of a hat. While as the netflix series really highlighted the humorous tones, but they completely messed up the symbols. To get the best and fullest experience, read the book FIRST!

A Dreadfully Delightful Series
I bought this simply to have the hardcover editions in my collection. I read this series when they were first published and as an adult I still find the dark humour and outlandish settings to be just as wonderful to read.

Perfect Boxset
I loved these books as a kid, however my paperbacks died somewhere around 6th re-read, so the decision to buy the hardcover boxset was a no brainer and the price was way to good to pass up.

My Very First Series Growing Up
I read this series when I was younger and thoroughly enjoyed it. Many people do not enjoy this series because it is dismal and sad, but it has a unique story line unlike any I have read or am currently reading. It is a perfect start for a series, and a long one as well. I recommend this series completely because it is one of my absolute favourites!

One of the Best Book Series Growing Up
I've read all 13 multiple times, and have even invested in the other books that lemony snicket has written. I love the mystery and how the storyline keeps you guessing until the next book. There's always something new to find out when you read the books again, and sometimes the more you think you know, you get more confused. LOVE the series!

While this set includes several novels, purchasers won't see much of a cost savings. Picking the books up individually may cost more in the end, but the savings aren't as great as expected.

Everything is just perfect
Best series I've ever read, a very original plot and the way the author writes the story is great, you will never get bored and will probably fall badly in love with Klaus, maybe Violet and probably Sunny. Everyone is loveable (probably not Count Olaf) but this is worth the money and time, because I promise that you will never want to skip a page or a word when you read this. You'll probably end up finishing the series by a week.

I love these books for one reason, they are not the typical happily ever after story. I enjoy the writing style, and the characters aswell. All around these books are just great, and I would recommend them to anyone who likes misfortune.

This was the most grabing set of books I've ever read. From the more than average children to the excrusiating pain count olaf gave me this is a good read from ages ten to one hundred and ten. It may be exspensive but it's worth it. It's a great gift!
