I quite liked them when I was younger, but now that I look back, I find them repetitive.
It's like this:
-One of the kids gets stolen
-They get that person back
-Life continues being miserable

Every book seemed to follow that pattern.

Edit:
I forgot to add:
-Klaus does something brilliant that pertains to a book he once read
-Violet invents something
-Sunny bites things

Refer to the title of the books XD

...But I suppose that's not an excuse.

Edit:

Yeah, I don't think I would like them as much as I did when I was young, if I were to reread them.

To put the books in a better light, because really––I've never met a book (besides Lord of the Flies) that I didn't like. They are written well, and have plenty of humor in them and were probably my favorite series before I met Harry Potter.

I remember when I was a wee lad, I would buy the new SOUE book at the school book fair every year. :p

Along with a bunch of other worthless shit XD

I would always buy the Deltora books =D and gel pens and erasers that smell like strawberries. . .oh, and those weird books about how to catch fairies and stuff (not sure if your book fair had those) XD

Yeah, knick,knacks are best found at the book fair. Lol

Not sure, kinda rings a bell though.

I can remember reading them all in the 8th grade.... They were very good though somewhat predictable. And as I notice a lot of people saying that they wouldn't like it as much now as they are older, I would just like to remind you all that it is a series for CHILDREN and YOUNG ADULTS. Lemony Snicket wrote more books for adults.
