I've read the first one but I doubt I'll read the second. To begin with you think "Hey, this it a bit like Lemony Snicket!" but then it gets into about elves and fairies and I don't really like that.

They looked interesting when I first saw them, and I agree, they do kinda remind me of asoue. I think they're meant for kinds too young for asoue. I read the 1st chapter online, and it was kinda weird. they are really short too. maybe I'll eventually read the whole of the 1st book just for fun.

I saw those. They are extremely short. And I think she copied off of ASOUE...

she definiately got some aspects of ASOUE, but the plots are nothing alike

I heard it was stupid. Steam was coming from my head as I looked at the bookshelf and saw the Spiderwick Chronicles on top of ASOUE.

I know, Copyrighting is mean! I hate the author of TSC, they should invent there own storylines! But the books are short and stupid, just like the evil author!
