I extected the paper quality to be better ... :(
I thought that the paper quality used for the books production will be better - anyway the price is quite competitive.

Sick books not for good parents
If you're a good parent you won't want your kids to read these books. I heard good things about them, so I read the first two books myself. These are sick books. There is little character development and the plot is ridiculously repetitive and redundant.
Worse, the books contain graphic, gory details about murder, dead bodies, the color of dead bodies, using a syringe to poke a hole in someone and kill them, breaking glass to slit someone, kidnapping, polygamy (yes the actual word is even defined in this series.)

If you are an adult or teenager you need to get a life and read something more worthwhile. If you are a parent looking at these books for your pre-teen or younger children, please do not buy these. Our children need good examples of moral behavior in their reading. They don't need gruesome specifics about murder, dead murdered bodies, how to kill people, and all other sorts of evil and darkness.

brilliant
My children are 7 + 8, a boy and girl, and they absolutely love it (almost as much as I enjoy reading it to them!) I can see it would be thoroughly enjoyable for boys and girls up until the ages of 12 or 13 and perhaps beyond. The stories weave through the terrible circumstances of three siblings giving snippets of Snickets own experiences with the fiendishly clever Olaf, who manages to conceal his identity (along with his cronies) from all the inept adults whose care the children are placed in. Using humor and a touching emotional depth, Snicket is consistent and colourful, unyielding, uncompromising and understanding. A must.
