Summary: A Miserably Good Read
Review: This series is finally getting some much deserved recognition (a spot on CBS' Sunday Morning sure can't hurt sales). And while some may wonder if Lemony and his creations are doomed to the perils of hype, I for one probably wouldn't have bothered reading this first book if it were not for the hype. I must say I found "The Bad Beginning" to be enjoyable in a most delectibly wicked way. This is not the Great American Novel, nor is it even Harry Potter, but then it was not intended to be either. Shades of Roald Dahl come to mind, but not to the point where this seems like pure imitation. It is indeed pure inspiration and I delight in the fact that children can peruse these sophisticated tales of morbid melodrama.

Summary: How Unfortunate
Review: The Series of Unfortunate Events is about three orphans who lost their parents in a horrible fire, and has to move in with a relative. The relative is a wicked, mischief, fortune hungry man named Count Olaf. He treats the children badly by beating them sometimes. Like for example, he slaps Klaus sometimes but doesn't hit Violet because he's trying to marry her, (she's only 14 years old). And Sunny is just an infant so he really doesn't hurt her. The Baudelaire children will inherit their parents' fortune when they reach 18 years old. That's the only reason he wants to marry Violet. But, if you're interested in misfortunes, criminals, and unlucky children then you should read this book.

Summary: A Series Of The Unfortunate; The Bad Beginning
Review: I give this book five stars because: 1.It makes you want to keep reading
2.Its humorous
3.Its entertaining and interesting to read
4.The author has a great sense of humor
5.The author uses descriptive words Violet, Sunny and Klaus Baudelaire are three very unlucky children. When their parents perished in a fire, they thought life couldn't get any worse. They were wrong. When the three children are sent to live with a distant relative, they had hoped their luck was about to change for the better. Unfortunately, they had reckoned without Count Olaf and his diabolically fiendish scheme to steal the children's inheritance.
The Series of Unfortunate Events are books that are very different to the typical image of children's literature. As the narrator says, "There is no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and there are very few happy things in the middle." The author uses a great sense of humor and depending on how you focus upon the book, it can either be depressing or very funny. I personally found it very good and interesting to read. Even though some of the things that happen to the three orphans are just plain awful, it still makes me want to read more and more.
The characters are both entertaining. Count Olaf is dangerously evil. The Baudelaires are intelligent, clever, resourceful children who enjoying reading and inventing. No matter what happens, they will always find some solution to their problems, even though more bad things are just around the corner.
This book is really fun to read and very interesting. I recommend this book to all kids of all ages. Whoever reads this book will enjoy it and when they start reading it, I bet they wouldn't want to put it down.
