I'm a big fan of Lemony Snicket's books (A Series of Unfortunate Events was a huge part of my childhood) so I'm always anxious to read any of his books when I find them. This for me was good and the artwork very cute but I didn't feel a connection with it. Maybe it's because I've never been particularly afraid of the dark but I didn't relate to the fear or feel reassured by the text that the dark isn't all that scary. There were some sections that were clumsily written that I had to reread twice to understand but the art was stunning and made up for any shortcomings the story had. Overall, I liked this but didn't love it.
