A Series Of Unfortunate Events *The Bad beginning* By: Lemony Snicket Review by: Natasha Baran

From the author:

Dear Reader, I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing. > With all due respect, > Lemony Snicket

A Series of Unfortunate Events is a book about three children, Violet, is the oldest with a knack for inventing Klaus, the younger boy who loves to read and study and Sunny, the baby with 4 exceptionally strong and sharp teeth.Unfortunately, their parents got killed in a house fire. The bad thing is they didn't just lose one parent they lost both of them. Luckily, a long time friend the parents (bank official) Mr. Poe send them to be with their nearest living relative, Count Olaf. Count Olaf lives in a ramshakle house.The house has a rickety tower which is forever forbidden to the children to enter. Count Olaf is mean tempered and very interested in taking the family's money. What follows is a cunning plot to dupe Mr. Poe and the beneficent neighbor and magistrate. It's up to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny to figure out the Count's nefarious plan before he can implement it and abscond with the children. It always takes the three kids working together to foil the Count's plans.

This book is deferent from other books because people die, miserable things happen to the Baudelaires and their friends. In the book Lemony Snicket tells the reader "if your looking for a happy ending then you need to go somewhere else." Through ingenuity, courage, and coordinated effort, the Baudelaires always manage to escape from Count Olaf's darkest efforts to capture or hurt them. What else will happen?
