my third grade teacher read my class the whole series but had to stop at book 12 before the theoretical book 13 or "THE END." neil Patrick Harrison (forgive me if I spelled it wrong) did a near perfect adaptation of this story. A depiction Lemony snicket, in my opinion, should be proud of and that anybody who read the book which is often a disconnect with Hollywood film adaptations and books. I've finished the series on my own and had vague memories of the story but it was still a great ride all the way through. and I hope anybody who watched it appreciates and loves it as much as I do. and I do suggest watching for those who didn't and plan to.
