Well...? Opinions?

Decent for a children's book. Would suggest it over Harry Potter.
I would put my kid on Narnia instead. (Followed by LOTR in middle school)
I can't think of other mentionable series that are
at that reading level.
why would i read a childrens book
>>9621290
Because it's good
>>9621304
how old are you? by 14-15 I had already moved onto proper novels.
>>9621079
>tfw Violet Baudelaire and Sabrina from a Pokémon are the earliest waifus I can remember
>>9621312
Please explain how that makes Lemony Snicket less good.
>>9621278
Indian in the Cupboard, the Rats of Nihm, Redwall
>>9621079
Awesome series for childrens books
>>9621345
I'm a 21 year old burger and I was never exposed to those books.
>>9621339
I'm sure its great but.... judge your market OP. This is a board with average age of mid-20s and upward. Maybe /dadchat/ is the better board to go

>I was in love with Violet when I was a child
>I have never never felt love that real since then
>>9621371
Me too anon. Me too.
this series is quite good. i honestly think it may be the perfect children's series to set up for future reading. it introduces so many references to other literature in a nonnamedroppy way
>>9621079
I found the last book to be very disappointing. The sugar bowl and other mysteries mentioned were never explained, and were just made up as a cheap way of getting you interested in the story. The first 7 books are all very entertaining, but after that there's a clear shift in the story arc and the books start to get more boring.

That's called a maguffin. Also, props for being one of the only people to love the first half MORE than the second
>>9621762
Maybe the REAL sugar bowl was the friends we made along the way
>>9621079
Is breddy gud.
Let your kid read it if you don't want them to turn out to be a Harry Potter Tumblrite retard.
>>9621782
shut up Oda
>>9621762
your dumb
>>9621776
Never spoken to anybody else who's read it but I figured this would be what most people thought. It gets very tedious later on.
>>9621345
I read all those. My outlook on the world was damaged at a young age, but the sleepless nights it gave me led me to secrets worth knowing.
>>9621278
series of unfortunate events > narnia imho then hobbit and LOTR ofc those are a must but definitely snickett over cs lewis as far as that is considered imho

At age 11? Because it's fun to get lost in your imagination before the touch of woman ravishes your innocence and attention.

will never have a lady who will discuss the finer details of life with you in a deep, emotional and intellectually stimulating manner who is grounded by her similarly depressing upbringing and whose siblings rule ones basically a litfag and the other a genius in the making. won't be able to cope with the tragedies of the past together on a horseback ride through the fields of a southern us state enjoying the sunlight or go on a hike through the appalachian trail together.

ASoUE fandom is as equally bad as Percy Jackson or Potter fandom. If she wishes to be a Tumblrite retard, she will be regardless of what she reads.

There's your first mistake, raising children to be addicted to social media. The whole point of books is given them a place to think on their own.
>>9623182
and writing reinforces that point especially. always hated how that wasn't emphasized in highschool
>>9623187
Because your daddy died in the war, western education is run by women who prioritize socialization over the needs of their poetry-interested students, mummy wasn't diligent enough, you were spurned by your one true love, then you grew up and became a parent
>>9623187
>>9623211
you didn't even get 1 thing right bitch boy.
>>9623221
I was alluding to The Wall by Pink Floyd because you're progressive trash of a weak era.
>>9623224
lmao and ur era is much stronger get eh bud
>>9621079
Go away underage.
Bump for childhood nostalgia

>>9623165

>it introduces so many references to other literature in a nonnamedroppy way
like what? i read them a long time ago but i can't remember any references
>>9626903
Then read them again. 'cuz there are almost too many to mention
I loved that part where he talked about mexican breakfast foods when they were brainstorming ideas to beat the villan
>>9621278
where are you going to introduce the hobbit. my dad read it to me when I was 5
>>9626614
He never intended to wrap them up when he started introducing them in the 8th book.
