Summary: A Fantastic Beginning...
Review: Lemony Snicket's first book of a series telling the tale of the Baudelaire children is a fine tale that is indeed unfortunate to be read... :)And be forewarned that it is filled with perilous events!...

Summary: A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 1: The Bad Beginning
Review: This is, indefinatley, one of the best book I've read, and fits in with Artemis Fowl, The Harry Potter Series, His Dark Materials Series, and The Cirque Du Freake series which are, pretty much, my favorite books. If you enjoyed any of those you will probably like this a lot. It has almost no flaws at all, but one thing I did notice, was that it was not a miserable as it set out to be. In my oppinion it did have a happy ending, even though Mr. Snicket said it wouldn't. Other than that, all I can say is read this book! You won't regret it.

Summary: This book is as sad as getting clothes for Christmas
Review: It is considered rude to laugh at other people's misfortunes, but I am afraid that is exactly what you're going to do when you meet the Baudelaire orphans Violet (who loves mechanics and inventing), Klaus (who loves to read), and Sunny (who loves biting things.) Right from the start, they have all kinds of bad luck, from losing their house in a fire, which would seem terrible to an adult, to getting ugly, itchy clothing, which would seem terrible to a kid. However, there is is also darkly funny humor stirred in, so it's like honey mixed with arsenic, which is a poisonous substance used to kill people. If you don't at least break out into a smile while reading this book, I swear you have no sense of humor whatsoever.

Summary: Roald Dahl is not alive anymore, thank you very much
Review: Mr. Snicket has read way too many Roald Dahl Books. Unfortunately he has not zeroed in the humorous aspects to said books. The Lemony books feature children who are destined to have terrible things happen to them, with no chance of rising above their fate. It is obvious that HarperCollins has sunk a ton of money in promotion for Mr. Snicket, who apparently has no respect for his fans. Too bad. My three children hated his didactic drivel. Come one, Harpers, wise up!! Get an author who has respect for his fans. When an author shows up saying he is not the author at all but a friend, and signs his books, "To a future orphan," we know the author is trying desperately to be a *star*, but not necessarily a lover of his children-fans!! If only Mr. Snicket would understand that parents are shelling out money based on their kids's suggestions...

Summary: What a good life I live!
Review: This book is hilarious and keeps you reading. The fact that the Baudelaire children have nothing good in their lives makes you glad you're not them! Count Olaf is such an evil, cruel guy who only wants money and power. He tries to trick the Baudelaire orphans into giving him their fortune....I would recommend this book to kids who like funny and intereting books.

Summary: I Love Them all
Review: This book is a black comedy for children. Along the lines of Creepy Susan. Amusing and funny I can hardley wait for the new books to come out. I have read them all in order and I adore them. They are a great time filler while waiting for the next Potter book. This book series is a bit dim,but with light edge. I recommend it to middle readers only though unless being read by a parent. Some small children may feel scared when the book's childrens parents die. Dont worry I gave nothing away. good luck and good reading

Summary: DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!
Review: I have to hand it to Lemony, he got off to a good start. But afterwards, he just starts to drone on and on, and simply put, it gets boring after a while. I myself fell victim to buying the first five books and reading them, but jeez! does Lemony Fresh or whatever his name is start to drone on. "Gahgo" said Sunny, (the baby) which probably ment something like, PLEASE STOP WRITING THESE BOOKS, PEACHY SHMICKETT OR WHATEVER YOUR DUMB PEN NAME IS!!!!

Summary: A Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket- Series book
Review: As an adult, I read series books I think would be appropriate for an After-school program. The series is a little dark, not gory, but, a child should be made aware of this premise. The children overcome great "adventures" with their personal talents. If you can help the child with #1- A Bad Beginning, I feel their interest will stay. The stories are up-to-date, not in a past time, so readers can relate. I recommend starting with the first book, as the following books, I feel, somehow relate back to the beginning. Give this series a try.
