Before the movie came out I had never heard of "A Series of Unfortunate Events". I wasn't consistently exposed to children's or young adult books seeing as how I was in college at the time.
Of all the books I've read Snicket (from a lack of knowledge of the author's real name :D) has a very unique style. I enjoy his frequent inserts of grammar rules or definitions of words. I guess that's the teacher coming out in me. The kids are learning the vocabulary whether they like it or not.
Of course, the fact that people die in every book I've read so far (three out of the thirteen) I really wonder. I would definitely recommend these books for a person of any age to read. :D
