Summary: Warped fun
Review: The poor Baudelaire kids. First, they are orphaned, then sent to live with the awful Count Olaf and his evil group of henchmen (and henchwomen, and one who seems, well, genderless). Soon they find he's after one thing: the fortune left to them by their poor departed parents, and he'll do anything to get it. But the kids are not without resources of their own. Violet is a clever inventor, Klaus has extensive book knowledge, and baby Sunny can chew through just about anything. Will they escape the horrible fate planned for them? Of course, but as the series title suggests, there's always another unfortunate event awaiting them...Kids and adults will likely enjoy this oddball, off-the-wall mix of grim humor, bad puns, plays on words, and literary playfulness, a blend of Dahl, Dickens, and Charles Addams. There are unpleasant aspects to the story, and death seems to loom on every other page, but the resourceful and clever Baudelaire children always escape just in time--and kids will like the fact that they usually do so relying on their own talents. Although this has been touted as a companion to Harry Potter, there are remarkable differences between the two, most notably in style and humor. Kids who like the "darker" aspects of the Potter books may relate to this, but those who have read the aforementioned Dahl will find it easier to enjoy.

Summary: Very Good, But A Little Annoying
Review: Although this is an excelent book, with a good plot and belivable charachters, I almost put the book down when I saw the description on the back. I mean come on! Lenomy Sniket made me feel that people that like happy endings wouldn't like this book. I am one of those poeple, but I LOVED it! A must read for Harry Potter fans, and everyone else.

Summary: A rare children's book
Review: This is the rare children's book that will probably... er, definitely be enjoyed more by adults than by children. It's true, the story of the Baudelaire children is depressing, but once you get passed that, Snicket has a Douglas Adams-like wit which results in a lot of dark humor. There's also a good supply of plot twists to keep anyone over 12 occupied. The kids emerge alright in this one and survive to move onto another story. What will happen in the next book? I don't know, but no doubt it will be filled with doom and gloom and impossible situations that the Baudelair orphans will escape by their wits for a short time before their next terrfying ordeal begins. Lemony Snicket is actually Daniel Handler, by the way. I saw him play his accordion with the Magnetic Fields in concert once, and you'd never expect something this good from some guy in the background. Good job, Daniel.

Summary: THE BEST BOOK EVER!!!!!!!
Review: This book is depressing- at most, but "Lemony" has put in snippets of good luck and fortune-very short lived, I might add. Even though the Baudelaires are extremely intelligent and polite, misfortuante seems to follow them everywhere. It's really fun trying to figure out all of Olaf's despicable plans, and figuring out what role Lemony is playing in these books. Even though the ages say 9-12, this is a book for all ages.

Summary: The Bad Beginning
Review: When I first picked up this book, I was a little unsure about how much I would enjoy it. However, I was hooked by the time I finished the first chapter! Now I have read every book in the series! If you are looking for a funny and great read this is one book you need to pick up! The Bad Beginning is the first in a series about the unfortunate events that happen to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, the heirs to a huge fortune. Their misfortunes begin when their parents are killed in a fire and they are sent to live with a cousin. To find out more, you'll just have to read the book! Enjoy!

Summary: A Good Book called the Bad Beginning
Review: This story is about 3 children in present day London who lost thier parents are adopted by the mean and spiteful Count Olaf who wants to steal thier money. The eldest child is Violt who has an inventive mind. Klaus is the second eldest and he loves to read books. Sunny is the youngest and she loves to bite anything and everything that comes near her. I think think this is funny since so much bad stuff happens to these three little children and educational because it teaches you advanced vocabulary. To me it was one of those books that you can't put down because it is so exciting and action packed. I recamend this book for kids 9-14 because of its advanced vocabulary. If you like this book then I suggest book two of the series, The Reptile Room.

Summary: The Bad Begginning
Review: I have read the entire set of Series Of Unfortunate Events, and I have devoured every page. These are great books. Everyone will love them. I think the Series of Unfortunate Events are even better than the Harry Potter books. In the first book, you will meet Klaus, Sunny, Violet,Mr. Poe, and the terrible Count Olaf. The Baudelaires recieve terrible news that there was a huge fire at their home. They must live with the evil Count Olaf, who is a terrible villan, just trying to steal the Baudelaire fourtune. I can't tell you the ending though, because I don't want to spoil it for you! Happy unfortunate reading!
