![]() The Lump of Coal $12.99 I saw the cover and thought "The Lump of Coal" looked offbeat and funny. The book was offbeat, but not in a funny way. Is this book supposed to be funny for kids or adults? Sadly, I think it misses the mark on both counts. It's too sophisticated for kids, but not sophisticated enough for adults. It had a very slow plot for a childrens' book, and Snicket's explaining every other word was annoying. He does the same thing in his Unfortunate Events Series. I was expecting a delightful tale and got a lesson in vocabulary instead. Mr. Helquist's illustrations were the few bright spots in the book. ![]() Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (Widescreen Edition) $12.98 My son loved Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Event dvd. Seller delivered dvds on time and in excellent condition.Great sound and picture quality, too. Happy customer results in happy buyers. ![]() The Grim Grotto (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 11) $12.99 This book was purchased, along with Books 12 and 13 in this series, for my nine-year-old granddaughter. She hasn't read it yet, but has read other books in this series and enjoys them very much. the books was orderd two weeks prior to Christmas as a Christmas present and arrived in time to give her at Christmas and in very good condition. ![]() The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13) $12.99 this book only made me frustrated and disturbed. i guess it was the pt. of the baudelaire story but it left so many mysteries unsolved.like the secret of the sugar bowl and what really happened to the quagmires and what the underwater question mark was. |
