Jessica reviewed The Bad Beginning by Daniel Handler (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #1)

5 stars
This is definitely a children's book, but it's pretty good. I am a bit shocked at how heavy the material is, though. I didn't notice as a child, but Count Olaf is more than just an evil scoundrel, he's [strongly implied to be] a pedophile. And not just because he attempts to marry a child, which is obviously just a scheme to get money, but because of how he talks about Violet. Gross.
