My Childhood

I would like to say that nothing about this series is less than perfect. Honestly, this is one of the most well-crafted books that I have ever come across. Easy to get sucked into, it's good for the casual reader and has lots of depth and no end of content to debate about for the more invested fan. It's also intensely relatable in some situations and just great in general.

The movies don't do the books justice. In order to do a good series of movies, one can't leave out a single detail of the books (well, a couple details might be acceptable). However, the fact that Klaus doesn't have glasses takes away a certain aspect of him. Jim Carrey, I think, was an excellent Olaf and Handler's commentary makes the movie pure gold, but other than that the movies were...terrible.

Anyway, I could sing praises of this book until the ends of the earth. Funnily enough, I found that a lot of people who enjoyed this series also liked the podcast Welcome to Night Vale (so check that out!).
