Daniel Sanz, an remarkable reviewer talk about the first book of "a Series of Unfortunate Events"

This book in general is pretty good. At the start of the story, they introduce the main characters greatly, they tell us about what they like to do and how they are in general. The characters are also good. The main villain is very good and pintoresc at the point that he is a person that you would hate him.

A good thing about this book is that it is espontaious, they tell you something right when you don’t think of it. The story in general is good, with some up-downs and moments you don’t have any clue of what’s gonna happen.

The biggest problem I found in this book is that it has complicated words for non-English speaking people.

Definitely you should buy and read the book.
