The Bad Beginning

This series was very popular when they came out. I read the first 3-5 books before I decided to stop. The story is obviously depressing but what's even worse is that it's essentially the same plot in EVERY SINGLE BOOK. The kids get put with some crappy “caregiver”, they try to get help, they try to escape, only to be put with an even worse person. Overall it's a depressing and boring series.
