The Series of Unfortunate Events

Title: A Series of Unfortunate Events
Author: Lemony Snicket
Genre: General Fiction
Release Date: August 25, 1999
Rating: 8.5

This series is not really a teen series, but I've read it so many times that it's become a series that is timeless for me.

Violet, Claus, and Sunny are three orphaned children that are moved from incapable guardian to incapable guardian throughout the series. In each book, a new set of twists and misfortunes befall them. If it weren't for the cleverly written story and interesting plot, the characters could seem very shallow and and the plot uninteresting.

The narrative of the book is one of the best parts of the book by far. I was immediately hooked to the commercial yet horribly depressing story of the narrator, who cleverly incorporates himself into the story.

As a warning, this series is entirely too short at thirteen books an is extraordinarily unsatisfying at the end.

Pros:
-Incredibly Designed Plot
-A Good Female Main Character
-A Smart Main Character and other Main Character
-A seemingly Simple but Complex Villain
-Page-Turning
-Action
-Well-written
-Appropriate for All Ages
-A load of great villains and obnoxious adults
-So frustrating that it's FUNNY

Cons:
-Simplistic Writing Style
-Somewhat Repetitive Events
-A Few Boring Passages
-Unsatisfying Ending of Series

So, this series is a must read for teens, elementary students, and adults! It has everything you can look for in books, and many references for all ages.

Rating: 8.5 - Check Plus!

The mystery, and the villains, and everything else make this a must read. Must read now! The best part is, if you read like me, all thirteen books will take you less than a week to read. 

Stay tuned for some new reviews on unreleased books!
