When a principal asked me about the books, I told her that I thought since 9-11 my readers were ready for a darker series where bad things happen to children but by using their own smarts and instincts they survive adults who are clueless, unhelpful and dangerous. Everything does not necessarily turn out sunshine and roses but neither does everything in real life.<BR/><BR/>I heard later that she had read my comments at a principals' meeting. For what ever they were worth, no further action was taken against the books.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-50505703876857274552007-02-17T13:15:00.000-06:002007-02-17T13:15:00.000-06:00I believe the first Snicket book appeared in 1999,...I believe the first Snicket book appeared in 1999, so the series became a hit before the terrorist attacks in the US. <BR/><BR/>It might be more remarkable that the series kept chugging along during those months when irony was supposed to be dead.J.
