Lemony Snicket - II

I have finally finished the series “A Series of Unfortunate Events”

Like I have said in my earlier blog, only the first book would be the more enjoyable one because of the writing style, gentle humour, and a totally different perspective of the narrator, etc. But it is the same in all the thirteen books so it gets a little boring for a grown up to read the entire thing in one go. So from the second book onwards you tend to focus on the plot. These books are meant for kids, so the plots would be comparatively bland. Also, we are so used to reading books with happy endings so despite the author’s continuous reminders that this is a “series” of unfortunate events and happy ending is not nearly possible, we, I, still expect something good to happen to the Baudelaires. Ok I won’t give away the ending. The Beatrice’s part in the story was cute.

Not in the mood to write anymore.

The setting of the story, the twists, plots sometimes are ridiculous. But if you ignore the rubbish the story actually is very close to reality.
