My favorite book is a series of unfortunate events book 7.
Why that one of all the other ones in the series?
Because it's really interesting and has a really good plot.
And the other ones don't?
All of them, the whole series does, but I specifically like this book because I think it's about the Austere Academy which is a school for misfits.
How does the book compare to the TV series?
The TV series is also good but I feel like the book has more details and explains it better.

Why that one? Have you read the whole series?
I have read all of the series, every book by the author.
I love it because it explains so much about mythology, it gives different perspectives on all the gods.
