    Now you have to spend a weekend watching the entire Netflix series! It's one of the best adaptations I've seen. Of course they added filler content, and actually answered a few questions the books left out, it's just a really well done series. Congrats on finishing! I can't fathom doing a 24hr readathon where I DO sleep let alone with no sleep! That's impressive

    • @themadpiper6819

      ALSO Daniel Handler helped with the script writing and made a few cameos in the series so filler content can totally be counted as canon.

      @@UserName-fb2co Personally I did not like the Jim Carry movie, but what makes Netflix SO much better than that movie is the sheer fact that netflix adapted ALL 13 books, and held fairly close the source material. Where the movie adapted 3 books in one go, and peppered in easter eggs to other novels and editing how the story was told. If you enjoyed the books and the movie I recommend trying the show its really well done

      User Name each book in the Netflix series is 2 Netflix episodes, so each book almost has its own movie, goes way more in depth than the Jim carry version that was so many books squished into one film.

Also he answers more questions including what was in the sugar bowl. Like the books it doesn’t start ramping up until probably the Austere Academy. It’s a visual delight - you must watch it!

      Yeah I am a naturally fast reader which makes these readathons a bit easier - plus these books have big writing and are easy to read!

      I was absolutely obsessed with them when they came out- I think because it had a happy/sad ending that was melancholic but satisfying in a way, but left so many questions it keeps you thinking about it. I remember reading the 13th book in the playground and the whistle went to signal the end of lunch and I was ready to cut throats as I was at a critical part of the book 😄

    I remember I read all of the books in 4th grade, withing the span of 3 weeks (I could have done it faster but our school library had a limit of books you could check out at a time). All of my friends started it, but none read past book 3. I remember I loved them and my librarian was just slightly worried about my wellbeing after that. But I really want to reread them now that I'm older and have more life experience, etc. Also I don't really remember all of the books that well and it would just be interesting. Good job btw, you aced it!

    I grew up with the books as well, and read all of them at least twice by the end of junior high, but for some odd reason I could never (and still dont really) remember from The Grim Grotto onwards. Like I had a good memory up until The Carnivorous Carnival, where I started to remember only bits and pieces of it and the following book. It's so weird how I can't remember. I know what happens now because I've watched the netflix series, even though I'm aware that they changed a lot lol.
