I don't like first half much, that is, before Sam went to Boston, which isn't really half but that's how I think of it.it's me like three fourths anyway, I don't know how to explain my dislike, really.our just isn't interesting compared to all the other books out there.for example, the unfortunate series of events, about the Baudelaire children whose parents died.and misfortune followed them wherever they went.there's thirteen books in the series!
