I had heard a lot of great things about these books, so I was looking forward to reading them. I did think the author' definitions of words was cute but it became a bit cumbersome by the end. I also felt the book lacked real depth. I understand that we need books that are light and "fun to read" but I also think books can be an awesome tool to teach our children. The Bad Beginning had a lot of "bad things" happen but there was no clear "good and evil". I would rather put a book in my chid's hands that is going to make him desire to better himself or the world and also to make him think!
