Summary: The Bad Beginning
Review: The book I am reviewing is called The I think it was ok because I didn't hear all of it, but it was ok so far. I wouldn't recommend it because I didn't hear all of it. My favorite part was the end. It was sad. That was my book review.

Summary: THIS IS THE BEST BOOK EVER!
Review: This is a great book! My favorite part is when the Bauldiare children tell Mr. Poe how mean Count Olaf is and he won't listen. One part of the book that got my heart racing was when Count Oalf told the children that their youngest sister was hanging by a thirty foot high tower in a bird cage. The only way he would bring her down was if Violet would marry him. This book is extremely hard to put down! If you like books about adventure and risking everything, this is the right book for you!

Summary: A Great Book
Review: If you like rainbows and happy endings, then you must be kidding if you want to read this book. This book is strictly for people who can stand sad books.
It all starts when the Baudelaire children's parents die in a horrific fire. All of their assets are gone. The only thing the three children have is the Baudelaire fortune that they can not possess because they are to young. The three children names are Violet, Sunny, and Klaus. Their banker Mr. Poe takes them to their closest living family member Count Olaf. This was in their parents' will. Count Olaf turns out to be the most mean of all relatives. He captures Sunny and tries to force Violet to marry her.
If this plot was to succeed then he would have control of the fortune. Violet as smart as she is signed the contract with her left hand. This throws the deal off completely. Sunny is rescued and the Baudelaire children are sent off to the next family member.

Summary: The Bashing Bad Beggining
Review: I finished reading The Bad Beggining on January 2 and I'm already in the middle of The Reptile Room.What made me go on to the next book immediately?I wanted to know what happend to Count Olaf.The characters are really brave,espicially Sunny because she was locked in a bird cage hanging from a tower. And she didn't even cry,and she's so young.It's a good thing Klaus read's so many books because he figured out what Count Olaf was going to do to get their fortune. I like how Lemony Snicket wrote that Violet has her hair in a ribbon when she's thinking of inventions.I can't wait till I finish the series! I.R.B.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: "The Bad Beginning" is the first book in "A Series of Unfortunate Events" following the tales of the three Baudelaire orphans--Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. The author, Lemony Snicket, records their tale so that the public will know what happened in the children's lives. He warns readers from the very beginning that the book does not have a happy ending and if that is what you are looking for, you should close the book right now. His warnings only serve to further tempt the reader's curiosity about what happened to these children.The book starts off sadly with the death of the children's parents. Suddenly, the wealthy and happy children find themselves orphans and at the mercy of others around them. They are sent to live with a distant relative, Count Olaf, who has paintings and carvings of eyes everywhere throughout his home. It quickly becomes evident that Count Olaf has no concern at all for the three children and is interested only in finding a way to get to their fortune, which is protected in the bank until Violet becomes of age to inherit it. Even with the kind Justice Strauss living next door, the children soon find themselves headed into miserable and frightening situations at the hands of their new guardian.

Summary: Excellent children's literature!!!
Review: I bought the box set of the first 3 books for my kids (ages 7 & 4 1/2) for Christmas. As I read this first volume to them, they were sucked into the story right away. Any book that keeps my kids interest and makes them use their imagination is good with me. There are so many things I like about these books. Yes...they are dark...yes...they are depressing...but they show how these 3 orphans overcome the bad things that happen to them and use their smarts! We've already started book 2 and we can't wait to find out more from this incredible writer!

Summary: Cute Series
Review: The Baudelaire kids are suddenly orphaned when their parents are killed in a fire. The kids must be sent to live with a relative and the vile Count Olaf seems to be the most handy one. But the Count hardly has the kids' best interests in mind and he cooks up a terrible scheme to get his hands on the kids' inheritance. This is a pretty enjoyable book. With every horrible event that happened to the kids I found myself wondering how far the author would go. The kids themselves had cute little personalities and it was great to see them find ingenious ways to overcome their problems. I plan on reading the rest of the series if I can get them from the library. Ten bucks is a bit expensive for a book I can read in about an hour. Parents may want to consider buying them because kids will most likely want to read them many times.

Summary: This book is awesome!!!
Review: This book is great. From the humor to story, it is an excellent choice for a reader 8 and up. Lemony Snicket has a twisted imagination that really works. This is just the start to a great series. When the Baudilares recieve the news that their parents and home have burned down, the story begins. The ending is extremely clever and humorous. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who is looking for something read.
