    I think it's because the kids are resilient and figure out how to deal with their problems, outsmarting Count Olaf in the process. I did try them again at the urging of last year's class. I got to book 8 and skipped to book 13, just to see how it ended.

    You read 8 more of them? Nothing made me smile or laugh or even cry. It was just plodded along with how horrible this and how horrible that . . . but at least no one died after the first few pages. I think I'll pass.

    I heard an radio interview with the author - had me in stitches. I don't like the books myself though.
