There are only 13 books because it is known as an "unlucky" number. I think it's pretty spiffy. But there are only 11 books out right now, with "The Grim Grotto" being the latest one. Sorry to break it to ya. cry.gif

xolilsmileeox
i think it would be ruined with a 14th...cuz its unlucky so 13 is perfect

LOL, it's not, it's totally different. The book's actually very good, because it's not only for children to read. It's full of dark, dry, wit that only older people understand...it's awesome. =) You should read it.

I have to admit, I've stopped reading them at The Hostile Hospital. =\

No, Lemony Snicket didn't purposely make it stop there, it just happened to be where the series ends. x]

i didnt know there was a book about this but i can't wait to see their movie! it seems so good!! and wow... 11 books?!?!?! wow i never knew about this was it because harry potter book was so popular that time and not "a series of unfortunate events"?

Emily Browning makes me happy in the pants.

well lets see...

"unfortunate" + thirteen

seems fitting.

there isnt?! aww man... but see the 13th one didnt seem so appealing to me..as the other books did.. i mean i read those in like a month.. all 10 then i read the other 2 as they came out. and the movie, this girl that i know was supposed to get that part.. but instead that ugly person got it.. mad.gif
somethinwicked
i just started reading them on monday and I"m already on the 4th one ^-^ they're really good tho. Nothing compared to Harry Potter though =/ someone told me that theyre better so thats really why i started reading them

I don't think length would matter.. The Harry Potter books just kept getting longer and longer, and if you followed up on that, you'd realize that length wouldn't matter.

Anyway, I've read The Bad Beginning, the Wide Window (i believe that's what it's called), and the one where they were at the hospital.. I believe it was called "The Hostile Hospital" or something. I also read some of the school one. Anyway, the hostiile hospital was really good :] Just when I think good things would happen, the baudelaires end up with bad luck :[[[[

I really want to see the movie! :D

i stopped at the 7th cause i kept getitng mad lol but i'm gonna start again. i hope they don't end up having a bad life.

Emily Browning is ugly? When did this happen.

I think she's prettay.

I love 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events.' Right now, I'm in the middle of The Grim Grotto.

No, no, no, everyone. That's all wrong. The twelfth book by Lemony Snicket, 'The Penultimate Peril', just came out only about a week ago. (Which I know own and have read twice. xD ) And there will only be a total of 13 books in A Series of Unfortunate Events. For more information, just go to like, Lemony Snicket.com

Book #1- The Bad Beginning
Book #2- The Reptile Room
Book #3- The Wide Window
Book #4- The Miserable Mill
Book #5- The Austere Academy
Book #6- The Ersatz Elevator
Book #7- The Vile Village
Book #8- The Hostile Hospital
Book #9- The Carnivorous Carnival
Book #10- The Slippery Slope
Book #11- The Grim Grotto
Book #12- The Penultimate Peril
Book #13- Not Yet Released

Too bad I stopped after The Slippery Slope because the library doesn't have book #11 and couldn't follow up. Also, I don't have time to stop by at the bookstore to read the books.

I wanted to watch the movie!!! Seriously, the books are really awesome but I don't have a chance to watch it!
