Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unforunate Events and Internet Explorer Web Browser Review

Well I said I do a web browser review andI need to get 3 book reviews. I'll make this dual purpose.


I'll start with the Browser since other wise I couldn't blog without using one


Microsoft Internet Explorer


Presentation:9/20(The presentation is terible but I can work with it)


Features:12/20(It's gets better and better but still nothing special)


Reliablity:4/20(Microsoft isn't known for making anything reliable,but the current one works,it's fairly good but the average brings it down)


Searching:6/20(I don't like searching on this browser)


Final:8/20(While not the worst,it's pretty terrible,I don't grade browsers on technology)


Now for the better


A Series of Unfortunate Events(Lemony Snicket)

Year(s):(1999-2006)
Publisher:HarperCollins


Plot:20/20(Perfect plot in every way plus the author is a character and i's about 3 orphans who go through thousands of odd and unlucky circumstances such as burning a carnival,stuck in a house on a cliff and so on)


Characters: 18/20(There are alot of characters,but for characters that actually matter,they are great,Count Olaf is a fantastic villain,Esme is a master of deception, and the Baudelaires are quite original,but not perfect and they seem a bit like what Count Olaf said"You guys are just like you were when I set my eyes on you,you think books,inventing things,and biting will do everything" t some extent that is true which is why the score is not perfect")

Setting:20/20(Excellent setting for each book first it is in Count Olaf's house,then Uncle Monty's house,then Lake Lachrymose,then Paltryville,followed by Prufrock Preperatory School and so on)

Writing:20/20(This is one of the best written books ever,it is neither first person nor third,rather both as the author character records the Baudelaire lives in rd person and compares it to his own in 1st person)

Final:20/20 (Most people fins fault with the darkness and mystery I however wish there were more books like that in existence)

I would rank the reliability a bit higher, when i used it it didn't really fail.
However the features aren't that good, i would downgrade that.

Use Firefox, its better.

I prefer Opera over Firefox to be honest,Firefox just doesn't have what Opera has feature wise and there both speedy.

Naw every ime I've used Explorer it takes ages to laod even with good operating systems

The features are fine
