I made a video addressing my pronunciation of "Baudelaire" so please watch it if that's of concern to you. If not, and you don't let that bother you, thanks for watching the video. :) ruclips.net/video/QpcS-9V_Dqo/видео.html
Minute Book Reports It was slightly different from the repeated formula (Which I actually liked.) by making one of the guardians an antagonist, I liked the "In" and "Out" dynamic, Gunther(Though, this detail is exclusive to the Netflix series.), Café Salmonella, Esmé, Jerome(Though I hate how they Stupified him in the Netflix series.), and The In-Auction.
Ethereal Sky Daddy same, that and Vile Village I felt didnt have much content, yeah there was big reveals and events but the story was just overall flat in both
Jonathan Perez Yeah, I guess I liked Vile Village a bit more because at the end of it, the story shifts and the orphans have to be on the lam. But looking back the actual story of The VV was quite flat.
Same my order from worst to best is 4,7,3,11,1,9,8,2,10,13,6,chapter 14,(if u look in book thirteen chapter 14 is counted so yeah),12 , and the best one is number five austre academy
I think when Lemony Snicket was writing the first 3 he was just starting out with a series like that and once he realized how repetitive it was he started changing it up and advancing the story.
about "the reptile room" I liked it. the only thing that disappointed me was that the week that Monty spent with the children was very brief and I think if he had talked more about that week to develop more the relationship of Monty and the children, his death would have been more sad and about "the miserable mill" I did not like it because I do not feel it is very relevant to the rest of the books, the only thing that it contributes is that Quigley mentions that he visit Dr. Orwell's office to look for the Baudelaires track and the reappearance Phil on The Grim Grotto and of Sir and Charles in the Penultimate Peril and than Charles and Sir are possibly members Also Sir does not like me :v but respect your opinion n.n
After I read The Bad Beginning, my parents refused to buy me the second book because it was almost as short and I'd "get through it too fast". It really annoyed me, because I wanted to read the series from start to finish, so I had to settle for reading the third book instead of the second. Eventually my grandparents got me the second book. I also read the fourth, fifth and sixth out of order, but that was it. I bought the next two over the next year, and then I had a birthday and one of my aunts sent me the ninth and tenth. I got the others as they came out. I still remember going to the bookshop and seeing The End stacked around a Count Olaf standee. Madame Lulu, or Olivia, as that's her real name, has the motto "give people what they want". Count Olaf must have asked the crystal ball where the Baudelaires were that last day, and Olivia must have told him that they were in disguise in the House of Freaks, because she was telling him what he wanted to hear. She was devoted to her motto of giving people what they wanted, even to the detriment of her moral fibre. That was the reason she sold them out. I felt like each time a sibling got separated from the other two, that sibling ended up in a situation where their helplessness was inevitable. For Klaus in #4, this was because he was hypnotized. He had a word for orders, but apart from that, he was just confused and fuzzy, so couldn't really think for himself even when he wasn't being ordered around. For Violet in #8, there was no explanation for exactly how they were able to anesthetize her, but I guess they caught her off-guard. After all, there were several of them and just one of her. However, as I mentioned, Violet being unconscious also made her helpless at the climax, but, like Klaus, she wakes up and gets them out of the hospital, similar to #4 when Klaus saved Charles by inventing something. Violet mentions having trouble focusing her skills when she's first trying to think what to do, but at least she manages it.

Thanks for sharing your list. It goes to show that people gravitate toward different books. I put the Miserable Mill near the top of my list, but you placed it at the bottom. lol. I also didn't care too much for The Reptile Room, but you placed it pretty high. Glad you read all the books. It's a great series.
Anyone else remember how hard it was to get Miserable Mill from your local library; because, that long wait for book 4 is something that my siblings and I struggled with separately.
I feel like Lemony Snicket/ Daniel Handler wrote the books to show how different age groups would react with Violet being a Teen Klaus being in the pre teens and Sunny being an infant

Jack Nolan I agree, and to answer your question Minute Bokok Reports just the running theme of misery in the air. Asoue air was always miserable but the Miserable Mill has more "misery" than the other books. Just my opinion ☺
My list from the most favourite to the least: 1. The Reptile Room 2. The Miserable Mill 3. The Carnivorous Carnival 4. The Penultimate Peril 5. The Slippery Slope 6. The Wide Window 7. The Ersatz Elevator 8. The Bad Beginning 9. The Vile Village 10. The Austere Academy 11. The Grim Grotto 12. The End 13. The Hostile Hospital I think my love for the miserable mill is an unpopular opinion xD
Here’s my least favorite asoue book to my favorite asoue events books then the reason why they got that spot 13.the vile village:I found it very forgettable 12.the carnivorous carnival: Madame lulu 11.the miserable mill:poes stupidity 10.the reptile room :Stephano 9.the wide window :aunt Josephine 8.the slippery slope :violet and klaus letting sunny stay there 7.the hostile Hospital:klaus 6.the grimm grotto :the fungus 5.the ersatz elevator :Jerome 4.the astuer(I can’t spell) academy :loved Carmelita hated Olaf’s disguise 3.the bad beginning :set the mood for the series 2.the end :loved everything except the last chapter and Olaf’s death annoyed me cause he was a great character (I know he was evil but I still loved his character) 1.the penultimate peril :basically everyone came back and I loved everyone being there and all the mystery in it
My input, As a child in elementary school I stumbled on the hostel hospital. The cover of the book caught my eye in the school library so you could say that started my unfortunate events. I feel in love with the style that Lemony Snicket wrote the series in. Being young I continued the series out of order starting with Hostel Hospital then Carnivore circus on the elevator I decided I needed to go from the beginning. To my surprise i had the first 3 books in my house that I never noticed was there. This series impacted me as a young adult. Lemony Snicket take me lessons about life in a way parents try to shield children from. I am fortunate or maybe unfortunate enough to understand by The end what the purpose from this series is questions that will never be answered.
I’m not sure what will just happen to end up in “last” place if I were to list my favorites. But at the moment (before reading the tragedy that awaits in the end) I definitely liked penultimate peril, and ersatz elevator. (Something about complex hotels/apartments gets my attention) I kind of liked grim grotto, slippery slope, reptile room, and vile village. Sort of liked carnivorous carnival, hostile Hospital, and austere Academy. that just leaves bad beginning, Wide window, and Miserable mill. I guess I’ll put pony party in last place
The Netflix show did The Reptile Room better... Monty does realise that Olaf is an imposter and the kids know that Monty has recognised this fact. But Monty believes that the imposter is from the herpetology society and therefore not too dangerous.
Oh!Good list,definitely made some points! This is my mine: 13:Grim Grotto:Boring in a lot of places,felt like padding until the final two books. 12:The Wide Window:Still quite boring,but it’s saved from last place because it does start to get more interesting after this(for the most part) and this book does lay the foundation for that. 11:The End(I am not counting chapter fourteen):I feel really bad about putting it here because the final scenes of this book is great,but my main problem with this book is that it feels completely disconnected from the rest of the series,why do we need to see an oppressed island in the middle of nowhere to end this series?It adds some small interesting details to the world,but that’s all really,not that many answers either. 10:The Vile Village:Carried by its ending,There’s not a lot and Detective Dupin is the only real Count Olaf disguise that gets on my nerves.A paper thin plot aside from the ending too. 9:The Reptile Room:feels like the orphans get too comfy in this book with Monty,Not totally though,but it still feels that way.Also paper-thin plot. 8:The Austere Academy:The concept is not that interesting at all,Pretty bland,but the quagmires some really likeable side characters and they are some moments that make me laugh. 7:The Bad beginning:Gets you into the series really well,the plot can be summed up as: ‘Count Olaf is abusing the kids for like 250 pages until reveals he’s marrying one of them’ 6:The Estarz Elevator:I do respect it because of the reveal Esme was working with Olaf,it’s a nice subversion of the trope we got used to for the 5 books before this.Some good comedy,but quite a few plot holes too which holds it back for being great. (Now we get onto my favourites): 5:The Miserable Mill:This is a pretty dark book,I also love the Klaus hypnotism scenes but some of the things are a pretty confusing and mind-boggling and I think Poe is at one of his most annoying in this book. 4:The Slippery Slope:Well paced,got a smooth transition between TCC and this book but it’s not as good as the other ones. 3:The Carnivorous Carnival:The Freaks are handled wonderfully in this book,as someone with a High-functioning disability it’s both wonderful and hilarious to see these completely normal people be called ‘Freaks’ because of one abnormality. 2:The Hostile Hospital:Dark and throughout the entire book,it feels like the children are constantly about to turn around and see Count Olaf,and his disguise in this book is probably is my favourite,Its a radio presenter,so we never see him in this disguise(Hell,The complete reck pictures of count Olaf’s disguises just show him as a Radio) so he feels almost always present in this book,constantly lurking around every Conner. 1:The Penultimate Peril:There’s so much to talk about in this book that I don’t even have time to list it all,Details like Lemony Smoking in this,ect,are amazing…You know what?Just go read the book for yourself!
Wow thank you for making this list! I definitely have completely different opinions than you, and I think we enjoyed the books for different reasons. In my opinion, the point of the series is showing how gray everything really is, how nothing can easily be explained in a black or white way. You talked several times about the weaknesses of the guardians as being faults of the books, I think their weaknesses are highlighted on purpose. Most of their guardians (not all!) are not bad people, but their motives have been convoluted to the point they are doing harm to the Baudelaires. Another thing I think we interpreted the series differently: much of Snicket's writing is purposely not meant to be enjoyable for the reader. The whole series is a cliffhanger that never pays off. It is constantly teasing you with information, relationships, and backstory that is never fully revealed. I think this is a genius move by Snicket as it allows room for the reader to imagine what they want to see, as well as leaving enough clues that much of the information that isn't explicitly revealed is hinted at throughout the series. Again, I'm really grateful for such a long video devoted to this series, but I can't help but feel you missed the point a little bit. I hope this makes at least a bit of sense.

My favourite by far that I read of this series is the Hostile Hospital. I love that it’s quite dark and also how it felt like there was a sense of suspense throughout the book. Also it’s darkly epic in the second half of the book as well.
Here’s my list 1 The end 2 wide window 3 austere academy 4 penultimate peril 5 hostile hospital 6 reptile room 7 ersatz elevator 8 slippery slope 9 grim grotto 10 bad beginning 11 carnivorous carnival 12 vile village 13 miserable mill
I’m kinda surprised how high up the miserable mill is. In my opinion it just felt kind of boring and rushed, and repetitive. For example Klaus broke his glasses multiple times and it was for the same reason of one of count Olaf’s workers tripping him and him going and being hypnotized by dr Orwell.
My ranking: 1st: The Penultimate Peril(Best) 2nd: The Austere Academy 3rd: The Vile Village 4th: The Reptile Room 5th: The Ersatz Elevator 6th: The Carnivorous Carnival 7th: The Bad Beginning 8th: The End 9th: The Hostile Hospital 10th: The Slippery Slope 11th: The Grim Grotto 12th: The Wide Window 13th: The Miserable Mill(Worst)
Asoue from least best to great (in my opinion. I love all of them. Just some more than others): 13. Miserable Mill 12: Vile Village 11. The Wide Window (mostly because of Josephine. Besides Poe, I thought she was the worst character. ESPECIALLY in the books.) 10. The Bad Beginning (I didn’t hate it but because of my love for the other books I couldn’t rank it higher) 9. The Slippery Slope 8. The Penultimate Peril 7. The Reptile Room 6. The Grim Grotto 5. The End 4. Austere Academy 3. The Hostile Hospital 2. The Carnivorous Carnival 1. The Ersatz Elevator (That’s just my opinion though. How’d you rank the books?)
Minute Book Reports I haven’t what he’s all the video yet so I don’t know if you said this or if you agree but I love the reptile room but I can’t see anybody else who likes it as much as I do
3 minutes into this video and the fact that you're criticising The Reptile Room because 'it would've been nice is they could go on a nice adventure together' shows that've completely missed that point of the whole series. Congrats?
My Rankings: 13- The Miserable Mill Not Much to say about it to be honest. 12- The Wide Window I guess the Lachrymose Leeches were cool.. 11- The Carnivorous Carnival Hmm... it was OK 10- The Grim Grotto This one just didn’t do it for me. I read about 80 pages of this book past midnight, so maybe I was so tired it didn’t seem as entertaining... I’m not sure. 9- The Austere Academy The introduction of the Quagmires was probably the best part. 8- The Vile Village VFD. 7- The Ersatz Elevator Pretty good! 6- The Reptile Room Most people seem to dislike this book, but I love it! 5- The Hostile Hospital Definitely the second darkest book of the series. 4- The Bad Beginning Gotta stick with the classics. 3- The Slippery Slope Cold, snowy, setting, love it! And let’s just acknowledge the fact that Bruce, the most underrated character, shows up again! And of course, there was a certain break on a certain ledge of a certain cliff that involved two certain children.. 2- The End Greatest plot twist/cliffhanger I have ever read! 1- The Penultimate Peril I think the reason this book was so good is because of the reappearance of so many characters.
My ranking of these would go: 13: The Carnivorous Carnival 12: The Reptile Room 11: The Bad Beginning 10: The Vile Village 9: The Austere Academy 8: The Ersatz Elevator 7: The Grim Grotto 6: The Hostile Hospital 5: The Wide Window 4: The Slippery Slope 3: The Penultimate Peril 2: The Miserable Mill 1: The End
Hopefully the show shows what happened with the question mark, and that taxi driver, and VFD, and even some of what happened to the Baudelaires themselves. Edit: I just saw the trailer, and the taxi driver is actually Lemony Snicket!

please don’t come at me like I least like this book or that book because I dearly love the whole series, it is my favorite series so I just wanted to rank them but I really do love them all it’s just some of them are really sad.

@@MinuteBookReports Heyy, the 'All The Wrong Questions' series is pretty good too! I understand your apprehension that reading other books from this universe may spoil the original charm that ASOUE holds for you.. But rest assured, that is not the case here!
My List: (haven’t read all the books yet but I got a decent idea from the series) 13. The Miserable Mill 12. The Vile Village 11. The Ersatz Elevator 10. The Bad Beginning 9. The Wide Window 8. The Carnivorous Carnival 7. The Slippery Slope 6. The Reptile Room 5. The Hostile Hospital 4. The Grim Grotto 3. The Penultimate Peril 2. The Austere Academy 1. The End
My favorite two are the books five and ten because the Quagmires are in it. They are my favorite characters especially Quigley. I can not pick which one is better.
Minute Book Reports There was this one time I was so addicted to the series in my first time reading it that I read The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, and half of The Hostile Hospital In one day. I went to bed that night, and had the oddest dream ever. So the dream started off with the Baudelaires in the Vile Village and they were walking around for whatever reason. So they end up going to bed, but Violet gets out of bed and goes to the Baudelaire parents. The parents want Violet to poison Sunny and Klaus for some reason... and then it ended. Very weird...
same, it was hard for me to decide between the miserable mill, the hostile hospital, and the penultimate peril but i finally decided that the miserable mill was the best in my opinion
here’s my list 13. bad beginning 12. vile village 11. wide window 10. miserable mill 9. hostile hospital 8. grim grotto 7. reptile room 6. carnivorous carnival 5. the end 4. slippery slope 3. ersatz elevator 2. austere academy 1. penultimate peril
I also Read the book series but I think The worst book is The Vile Village because the introduction was like 150 pages long and in Ersatz Elevator I hated the Staircase
I have to say that the 4th book is my least favourite. You never really learn anything new about any of the kids or characters and in my eyes is just kind of filler
Mine: 1. The end 2.Austere Academy 3.Ersatz Elevator 4.Carnivorous Carnival 5.Hostile hospital 6.The vile village 7.The Grim grotto 8.The reptile room 9.The bad beginning 10.The slippery slope 11.The wide window 12.The miserable mill I haven't got penultimate peril because I haven't read it yet but judging by other people's reactions I think it will be near the top. Btw this is just MY opinion I also love ALL the books so no hate whatsoever. (:
here is some crap no one cares about my teacher has the bad beginning (1) the reptile room (2) the austere academy (5) the grim grotto (11) I have read the bad beginning and the reptile room and I'm still reading the austere academy but I haven't read the grim grotto

Ersatz Elevator is love, Ersatz Elevator is life.
What did you like about it?
Minute Book Reports It was slightly different from the repeated formula (Which I actually liked.) by making one of the guardians an antagonist, I liked the "In" and "Out" dynamic, Gunther(Though, this detail is exclusive to the Netflix series.), Café Salmonella, Esmé, Jerome(Though I hate how they Stupified him in the Netflix series.), and The In-Auction.
Pearl's TubeTube Channel YES.
Its not "love" its IN
Same I loved the book and the episode of the TV show
It's funny because The Miserable Mill is by far my least favourite out of the thirteen books.
Ethereal Sky Daddy same, that and Vile Village I felt didnt have much content, yeah there was big reveals and events but the story was just overall flat in both
Jonathan Perez Yeah, I guess I liked Vile Village a bit more because at the end of it, the story shifts and the orphans have to be on the lam. But looking back the actual story of The VV was quite flat.
Same my order from worst to best is 4,7,3,11,1,9,8,2,10,13,6,chapter 14,(if u look in book thirteen chapter 14 is counted so yeah),12 , and the best one is number five austre academy
@@scarletthughes2738 austere academy is best
Same
What!? I loved the Incredibly Deadly Viper.... Uncle Monty and Jerome were my favorite guardians!
Doggo AJ I liked the Incredibly Deadly Viper as well. They are cool.
Same
@ Doggo this is all his opinion don’t take it personally
i agree with monty, but jerome was a guardian who legit stood up for nothing and in the end abandoned them.
I think when Lemony Snicket was writing the first 3 he was just starting out with a series like that and once he realized how repetitive it was he started changing it up and advancing the story.
That's a good point. The stories got more interesting.
TheOneandOnly I agree with the point, but just to make sure, you know that Lemony Snicket isn’t real.
@@theanimationlads7598 if he doesn't imma laugh
Iknowhowto draw I was just making sure.
Lemony Snicket is 100% not real I’m afraid
Really? The reptiles Room as Least Favorite? :v
my Least Favorite is The miserable mill
and my favorite is The End
Wow. I really like The Miserable Mill. I thought it was an interesting twist to the familiar plot the author used.
My least favorite is Vile Village, and my favorite is the Penultimate Peril
about "the reptile room" I liked it. the only thing that disappointed me was that the week that Monty spent with the children was very brief and I think if he had talked more about that week to develop more the relationship of Monty and the children, his death would have been more sad
and about "the miserable mill" I did not like it because I do not feel it is very relevant to the rest of the books, the only thing that it contributes is that Quigley mentions that he visit Dr. Orwell's office to look for the Baudelaires track and the reappearance Phil on The Grim Grotto and of Sir and Charles in the Penultimate Peril and than Charles and Sir are possibly members
Also Sir does not like me :v
but respect your opinion n.n
I like the role reversal in TMM of Violet researching and Klaus inventing.
my least favorite is The End
my Favorite is The Carnivorous Carnavil
life is a conundrum of esoterica
life is death

After I read The Bad Beginning, my parents refused to buy me the second book because it was almost as short and I'd "get through it too fast". It really annoyed me, because I wanted to read the series from start to finish, so I had to settle for reading the third book instead of the second. Eventually my grandparents got me the second book. I also read the fourth, fifth and sixth out of order, but that was it. I bought the next two over the next year, and then I had a birthday and one of my aunts sent me the ninth and tenth. I got the others as they came out. I still remember going to the bookshop and seeing The End stacked around a Count Olaf standee.
Madame Lulu, or Olivia, as that's her real name, has the motto "give people what they want". Count Olaf must have asked the crystal ball where the Baudelaires were that last day, and Olivia must have told him that they were in disguise in the House of Freaks, because she was telling him what he wanted to hear. She was devoted to her motto of giving people what they wanted, even to the detriment of her moral fibre. That was the reason she sold them out.
I felt like each time a sibling got separated from the other two, that sibling ended up in a situation where their helplessness was inevitable. For Klaus in #4, this was because he was hypnotized. He had a word for orders, but apart from that, he was just confused and fuzzy, so couldn't really think for himself even when he wasn't being ordered around. For Violet in #8, there was no explanation for exactly how they were able to anesthetize her, but I guess they caught her off-guard. After all, there were several of them and just one of her. However, as I mentioned, Violet being unconscious also made her helpless at the climax, but, like Klaus, she wakes up and gets them out of the hospital, similar to #4 when Klaus saved Charles by inventing something. Violet mentions having trouble focusing her skills when she's first trying to think what to do, but at least she manages it.
I found Madam Lulu to be a mercenary. She would help anyone as long as she got some advantage for herself.
mercenary means hired assassin
Yung Phobos
*We KNOW what mercenary means!*
If the end wasn't gonna be the end i would call it "The isolated island"

Anyone else remember how hard it was to get Miserable Mill from your local library; because, that long wait for book 4 is something that my siblings and I struggled with separately.

3:08 Everything is a disappointment... what do you expect from a series called "A Series of Unfortunate Events?" 😆
That's true. :)

4 austere academy
5 penultimate peril
6 slippery slope
7 bad begging
8 the end
9 carnivorous carnival
10 hostile hospital
11 vile village

I like that the last one has 14 chapters because 13 is an unlucky number and at the end it’s like their unlucky ness is over
But the 14th Chapter is 13 pages long!
Josephine refuses to move because she is scared of realtors
I think the miserable mill is the worst
How come you think it's the worst?
Jack Nolan I agree, and to answer your question Minute Bokok Reports just the running theme of misery in the air. Asoue air was always miserable but the Miserable Mill has more "misery" than the other books. Just my opinion ☺
Hence the name "The Miserable Mill", heck even the title includes the word miserable
Jack Nolan Agreed. The setting is so dull and not much happens. Plus Shirley in my opinion is Count Olaf’s laziest disguise.
It’s my favourite book
Are you kidding? I love the Grim Grotto...
Tbh I think that's in my top 5 worst.
My list from the most favourite to the least:
1. The Reptile Room
2. The Miserable Mill
3. The Carnivorous Carnival
4. The Penultimate Peril
5. The Slippery Slope
6. The Wide Window
7. The Ersatz Elevator
8. The Bad Beginning
9. The Vile Village
10. The Austere Academy
11. The Grim Grotto
12. The End
13. The Hostile Hospital
I think my love for the miserable mill is an unpopular opinion xD
I really liked how dark the Hostile Hospital was
true the miserable mill sucks a lot
@@slambotv1334 hostile hospital was actually a good book
The Hostile Hospital is my favorite because of the creative idea and the dark, intense finale
Yay, your number 1 is my number 1. It has a special place in my heart
That's awesome. It's kind of hard not to have that book as the best. lol
Here’s my least favorite asoue book to my favorite asoue events books then the reason why they got that spot
13.the vile village:I found it very forgettable
12.the carnivorous carnival: Madame lulu
11.the miserable mill:poes stupidity
10.the reptile room :Stephano
9.the wide window :aunt Josephine
8.the slippery slope :violet and klaus letting sunny stay there
7.the hostile Hospital:klaus
6.the grimm grotto :the fungus
5.the ersatz elevator :Jerome
4.the astuer(I can’t spell) academy :loved Carmelita hated Olaf’s disguise
3.the bad beginning :set the mood for the series
2.the end :loved everything except the last chapter and Olaf’s death annoyed me cause he was a great character (I know he was evil but I still loved his character)
1.the penultimate peril :basically everyone came back and I loved everyone being there and all the mystery in it
Jacques snicket is Vile village
My input,
As a child in elementary school I stumbled on the hostel hospital. The cover of the book caught my eye in the school library so you could say that started my unfortunate events. I feel in love with the style that Lemony Snicket wrote the series in. Being young I continued the series out of order starting with Hostel Hospital then Carnivore circus on the elevator I decided I needed to go from the beginning. To my surprise i had the first 3 books in my house that I never noticed was there. This series impacted me as a young adult. Lemony Snicket take me lessons about life in a way parents try to shield children from. I am fortunate or maybe unfortunate enough to understand by The end what the purpose from this series is questions that will never be answered.
I’m not sure what will just happen to end up in “last” place if I were to list my favorites.
But at the moment (before reading the tragedy that awaits in the end)
I definitely liked penultimate peril, and ersatz elevator. (Something about complex hotels/apartments gets my attention)
I kind of liked grim grotto, slippery slope, reptile room, and vile village.
Sort of liked carnivorous carnival, hostile Hospital, and austere Academy.
that just leaves bad beginning, Wide window, and Miserable mill.
I guess I’ll put pony party in last place
The Netflix show did The Reptile Room better... Monty does realise that Olaf is an imposter and the kids know that Monty has recognised this fact. But Monty believes that the imposter is from the herpetology society and therefore not too dangerous.
Oh!Good list,definitely made some points!
This is my mine:
13:Grim Grotto:Boring in a lot of places,felt like padding until the final two books.
12:The Wide Window:Still quite boring,but it’s saved from last place because it does start to get more interesting after this(for the most part) and this book does lay the foundation for that.
11:The End(I am not counting chapter fourteen):I feel really bad about putting it here because the final scenes of this book is great,but my main problem with this book is that it feels completely disconnected from the rest of the series,why do we need to see an oppressed island in the middle of nowhere to end this series?It adds some small interesting details to the world,but that’s all really,not that many answers either.
10:The Vile Village:Carried by its ending,There’s not a lot and Detective Dupin is the only real Count Olaf disguise that gets on my nerves.A paper thin plot aside from the ending too.
9:The Reptile Room:feels like the orphans get too comfy in this book with Monty,Not totally though,but it still feels that way.Also paper-thin plot.
8:The Austere Academy:The concept is not that interesting at all,Pretty bland,but the quagmires some really likeable side characters and they are some moments that make me laugh.
7:The Bad beginning:Gets you into the series really well,the plot can be summed up as: ‘Count Olaf is abusing the kids for like 250 pages until reveals he’s marrying one of them’
6:The Estarz Elevator:I do respect it because of the reveal Esme was working with Olaf,it’s a nice subversion of the trope we got used to for the 5 books before this.Some good comedy,but quite a few plot holes too which holds it back for being great.
(Now we get onto my favourites):
5:The Miserable Mill:This is a pretty dark book,I also love the Klaus hypnotism scenes but some of the things are a pretty confusing and mind-boggling and I think Poe is at one of his most annoying in this book.
4:The Slippery Slope:Well paced,got a smooth transition between TCC and this book but it’s not as good as the other ones.
3:The Carnivorous Carnival:The Freaks are handled wonderfully in this book,as someone with a High-functioning disability it’s both wonderful and hilarious to see these completely normal people be called ‘Freaks’ because of one abnormality.
2:The Hostile Hospital:Dark and throughout the entire book,it feels like the children are constantly about to turn around and see Count Olaf,and his disguise in this book is probably is my favourite,Its a radio presenter,so we never see him in this disguise(Hell,The complete reck pictures of count Olaf’s disguises just show him as a Radio) so he feels almost always present in this book,constantly lurking around every Conner.
1:The Penultimate Peril:There’s so much to talk about in this book that I don’t even have time to list it all,Details like Lemony Smoking in this,ect,are amazing…You know what?Just go read the book for yourself!
Wow thank you for making this list! I definitely have completely different opinions than you, and I think we enjoyed the books for different reasons. In my opinion, the point of the series is showing how gray everything really is, how nothing can easily be explained in a black or white way. You talked several times about the weaknesses of the guardians as being faults of the books, I think their weaknesses are highlighted on purpose. Most of their guardians (not all!) are not bad people, but their motives have been convoluted to the point they are doing harm to the Baudelaires. Another thing I think we interpreted the series differently: much of Snicket's writing is purposely not meant to be enjoyable for the reader. The whole series is a cliffhanger that never pays off. It is constantly teasing you with information, relationships, and backstory that is never fully revealed. I think this is a genius move by Snicket as it allows room for the reader to imagine what they want to see, as well as leaving enough clues that much of the information that isn't explicitly revealed is hinted at throughout the series. Again, I'm really grateful for such a long video devoted to this series, but I can't help but feel you missed the point a little bit. I hope this makes at least a bit of sense.

My favourite by far that I read of this series is the Hostile Hospital. I love that it’s quite dark and also how it felt like there was a sense of suspense throughout the book. Also it’s darkly epic in the second half of the book as well.

I’m kinda surprised how high up the miserable mill is. In my opinion it just felt kind of boring and rushed, and repetitive. For example Klaus broke his glasses multiple times and it was for the same reason of one of count Olaf’s workers tripping him and him going and being hypnotized by dr Orwell.

Asoue from least best to great (in my opinion. I love all of them. Just some more than others):
13. Miserable Mill
12: Vile Village
11. The Wide Window (mostly because of Josephine. Besides Poe, I thought she was the worst character. ESPECIALLY in the books.)

(That’s just my opinion though. How’d you rank the books?)
This guy hates all the good books
Which books do you think are good?
This is his opinion
Ik how did he hate the grim grotto
Minute Book Reports I haven’t what he’s all the video yet so I don’t know if you said this or if you agree but I love the reptile room but I can’t see anybody else who likes it as much as I do
3 minutes into this video and the fact that you're criticising The Reptile Room because 'it would've been nice is they could go on a nice adventure together' shows that've completely missed that point of the whole series. Congrats?
Ahh... i remember reading this series in primary 5!
My Rankings:
13- The Miserable Mill
Not Much to say about it to be honest.
12- The Wide Window
I guess the Lachrymose Leeches were cool..
11- The Carnivorous Carnival
Hmm... it was OK
10- The Grim Grotto
This one just didn’t do it for me. I read about 80 pages of this book past midnight, so maybe I was so tired it didn’t seem as entertaining... I’m not sure.
9- The Austere Academy
The introduction of the Quagmires was probably the best part.
8- The Vile Village
VFD.
7- The Ersatz Elevator
Pretty good!
6- The Reptile Room
Most people seem to dislike this book, but I love it!
5- The Hostile Hospital
Definitely the second darkest book of the series.
4- The Bad Beginning
Gotta stick with the classics.
3- The Slippery Slope
Cold, snowy, setting, love it! And let’s just acknowledge the fact that Bruce, the most underrated character, shows up again! And of course, there was a certain break on a certain ledge of a certain cliff that involved two certain children..
2- The End
Greatest plot twist/cliffhanger I have ever read!
1- The Penultimate Peril
I think the reason this book was so good is because of the reappearance of so many characters.
I liked it, just not as much as the other books.
My ranking of these would go:
13: The Carnivorous Carnival
12: The Reptile Room
11: The Bad Beginning
10: The Vile Village
9: The Austere Academy
8: The Ersatz Elevator
7: The Grim Grotto
6: The Hostile Hospital
5: The Wide Window
4: The Slippery Slope
3: The Penultimate Peril
2: The Miserable Mill
1: The End
sis cmon the slippery slope is the best 🤷♀️
Hopefully the show shows what happened with the question mark, and that taxi driver, and VFD, and even some of what happened to the Baudelaires themselves.
Edit: I just saw the trailer, and the taxi driver is actually Lemony Snicket!

A fine commentary on the series, although if I had made the list, the Vile Village would have been far higher
The only thing that is consistent with almost everybody’s list is Penultimate Peril being top 4. Absolute classic, my personal favorite. RIP Dewey Denoumont
My top three are austere academy, ersatz elevator and carnivorous carnival. But my 4th favourite is grim grotto

The Miserable Mill sucks. It was so bland. I read the first 2 chapters, then put it back and got the Austere Academy. I finally read it when I read The End.
anythingnew That I agree with. The end of the book is the best part.

They get better as they go in my opinion, except grim grotto. That is such a filler book imo or at least the closet thing other than the first 4.
My favorite two are the books five and ten because the Quagmires are in it. They are my favorite characters especially Quigley. I can not pick which one is better.
I liked the Quagmires too.
You say their name wrong, not trying to be rude.
The thing on "The Wide Window" about Aunt Josephine is that she was fierce before but the following days after ike's death she became a scaredy cat

I read all of them too. I had dreams of Count Olaf and stuff, it was great lol.
Interesting. I don't think I've ever dreamed about Count Olaf. :)
Minute Book Reports There was this one time I was so addicted to the series in my first time reading it that I read The Ersatz Elevator, The Vile Village, and half of The Hostile Hospital In one day. I went to bed that night, and had the oddest dream ever. So the dream started off with the Baudelaires in the Vile Village and they were walking around for whatever reason. So they end up going to bed, but Violet gets out of bed and goes to the Baudelaire parents. The parents want Violet to poison Sunny and Klaus for some reason... and then it ended. Very weird...
f1r3m4nN1nj4 22 on my god...
so in my country are only 6 books and im very suprised 😳 hope are going to make the next ones
Count Olaf was Shirley the Receptionist for Dr. Orwell in the "Miserable Mill."
charlietuba he knows
The last book is also my favorite, no doubt about that! :D thanks for the vid, a reminder for me (I read them years ago!)
Glad this video was a good reminder.
My favourite book is the Hostile Hospital.
I can’t choose there are three books that I love so much
Which books are your favorite?
The Ersatz elevator the vile village and the hostile hospital
same, it was hard for me to decide between the miserable mill, the hostile hospital, and the penultimate peril but i finally decided that the miserable mill was the best in my opinion
That's a good choice. I really liked The Miserable Mill.
here’s my list
13. bad beginning
12. vile village
11. wide window
10. miserable mill
9. hostile hospital
8. grim grotto
7. reptile room
6. carnivorous carnival
5. the end
4. slippery slope
3. ersatz elevator
2. austere academy
1. penultimate peril
I actually really like the vile village it’s just the ending is super sad
I also Read the book series but I think The worst book is The Vile Village because the introduction was like 150 pages long and in Ersatz Elevator I hated the Staircase
I didn't like the staircase either. I thought it slowed down the story.
I have to say that the 4th book is my least favourite. You never really learn anything new about any of the kids or characters and in my eyes is just kind of filler
The mill is one of my favorites
Mine:
1. The end
2.Austere Academy
3.Ersatz Elevator
4.Carnivorous Carnival
5.Hostile hospital
6.The vile village
7.The Grim grotto
8.The reptile room
9.The bad beginning
10.The slippery slope
11.The wide window
12.The miserable mill
I haven't got penultimate peril because I haven't read it yet but judging by other people's reactions I think it will be near the top.
Btw this is just MY opinion I also love ALL the books so no hate whatsoever. (:
CG-13 M8 why did you read the end before penultimate peril
here is some crap no one cares about
my teacher has
the bad beginning (1)
the reptile room (2)
the austere academy (5)
the grim grotto (11)
I have read the bad beginning and the reptile room
and I'm still reading the austere academy
but I haven't read the grim grotto
I've read the books and watched the show, I like in the show you get a second point of veiw.
My favorite is 11th book ☺

Thanks for leaving your list. Interesting that you liked The Grim Grotto the best.
Minute Book Reports I liked the characters and I loved the twist about Fiona and her brother. I likes the books as they went on but the last two seemed to leave things out
I dont know if this was in the book but ive seen it on netflix but it said that madam lulu was the librarian but i dont know if its in the book aka the carnivores carnival
