as for me Harry Potter.. since 4th part it became more mature i think.. and that's one of the best series i've ever read.. but 5th and 6th parts were the best so far..

never read Lemony Snicket's books, only what they write on the back of the book.. wasn't exciting at all..

I like the Harry Potter books, don't get me wrong, but I prefer the Series of Unfortunate Events. I just really got into them, and you don't have to read them in any order, but I would suggest reading the first to understand the story line. I understand your opinion Yoshi, but I would strongly recommend just reading the first book and then deciding, even though I like the back of the books that sum up the story... :flower:

Personally I think the Harry Potter books are way better, the imagination it must have taken to create a world like that is amazing.

Harry Potter is a lot better than the Lemony Snicket series. Not that I don't like the Snicket ones, Harry Potter just owns everything.

I feel so alone, I'm the only one that likes the Unfortunate Books over the Harry Potter ones, I guess I'm unfortunate in that matter :( :p
