I don't agree. I don't think there's any really significant difference in the level of intelligence and I certainly don't agree that they're "objectively much better written". I think the Unfortunate Events books are ultimately limited and kind of one-note, and don't change and develop as much as the Harry Potter books do, and I don't see any reason to suppose that the stylistic level is much higher in either case.

I'm glad that you liked a series of books, though, I guess.

I only managed to finish one of the Unfortunate Events books, and I failed to see any evidence of actual "intelligence," just the book being in love with how clever it thought it was.

I'd agree with this - didn't make it through the first. Loved the movie though, the LOOK of it/beauty/actors/costumes made up for a LOT.

The first book isn't really representative of the rest of the series.

orly? Thanks! [thats... that's a really bad idea when you're writing a series, though...???]

I don't see why, I've seen it happen a lot. Writers tend to experiment a little before finding something that they're comfortable with. As long as there's something to hook the audience.
