Lemony Snicket

Reader Response I first read Lemony Snicket’s ‘Series of Unfortunate Events’ when I was 10 years old. Having little patience, I planned to just skim through but found myself immediately immersed in the story and the writing style.

Literary pieces divide people in their opinions since the pieces allow readers to interpret the pieces differently and gives the readers a sense of mystery. The most passionate and

“But the sad truth is that the truth is sad, and that what you want does not matter. A series of unfortunate events can happen to anyone, no matter what they want.”(144) In Lemony Snicket’s series, the Baudelaire children come to realize that a series of unfortunate events can happen to anyone, and even children in happy families and loving homes. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire experience three incredibly unfortunate events illustrating the central theme that bad things can happen to good people:

November, 2015 Lemony Snicket portrays the greed and cruelty of humans with the help of various unfortunate events narrating the ill dead throughout the book. Many story books are written with a happy ending, where everything seems to be perfect. That’s not how life is; life is filled with hardship, sorrow, pain, cruel people and unfortunate events.

Lemony Snicket is an amazing writer, and one of my favorite books he has written is The End. AS the title implies, it is the end of a thirteen book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events.
