What to talk about

Talk to your kids
Families can talk about whether there really is a Lemony Snicket -- and, if there is, why he's so reclusive.

Is it any good?

The best parts of the site are the printable trading cards that describe each character and the "Reading Group Guide." The latter is a funny take on how a book discussion group might tackle the series. Sample discussion question: "Does anything in your life compare with the anguish the Baudelaire children encounter in The Austere Academy? If so, how terrible for you. If not, how nice. Discuss."

But what's unfortunate is how boring the site is, considering the popularity of the books. Well, Lemony warns users on the front page, "If I were you, I would immediately turn your computer off rather than view any of the dreadful images, read any of the wretched information, play any of the unnerving games, or examine the unpleasant books presented within this Web site." It's not that bad, but it could be improved by the addition of more interactives and games.

It's a good site. It can be a little boring for people who love networking, but it's good for screen savers and stuff like that.
