Summary: The Bad Beginning
Review: Have your parents or family member died if so you may know how the bauldileirs feel in this. Their parents died in a fire. The fire burned down their house and most everything inside. Now they have to live with their parent's friend temporally until they find a family member for the baudileirs.
A couple days later they find a family member and he calls himself count Olaf. While the kids are there they have a miserable time with him. He treats them horrid and makes them do so many chores. I would recommend this book to some one who enjoys mystery and realistic fiction.
Now he has planned marry poor violet the oldest of the baudileirs. If he succeeds he will own the entire baudileirs fortune. Will any thing go wrong with the wedding? Lemony, Snicket writes many other books the bad begging is just one of many of his books. It's also a series book. Some of his others are The Basic 8 and watch Your Mouth.

Summary: Now THAT was a bad book!
Review: When i heard my entire grade ranting about how fabulously amazing it was, i decided to read it. it sucked. i was expecting a phenomoneal book full of emotion and sacrifice. instead, you might as well have made a list of bad things that could happen, and publish it in a best selling book. Snicket did what anyone else could have, think of bad things. over all, i would NEVER suggest this book to anyone else.

Summary: The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
Review: Dear Reader, I am sorry to say this book that you are bound to hold in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe.
From the very first page in this bood when the children are at the beach and recieve terrible news, continuing on through the 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.

Summary: A series of unfortunate events: Book the first
Review: A particularly magnificent book by the great and imaginitive author Lemony Snicket! Well written and gripping from start to finish! I was greatly dissapointed when I finished this book as I had enjoyed it so much! I could not manage (to the great annoyance of my mother) to tear myself away from this soon to be classic! It took me six hours to complete this book!!! Although some do say I have the reading ability of my grandfather! We are both "bookaholics" say some of our relatives! Well, this is my review on the masterpiece "A series of unfortunate events: Book the First: The Bad Beginning"! Enjoy!!!

Summary: Strange and Humorous
Review: I was a bit reluctant to pick this book up at the store, but I did, and I'm glad I did.
Lemony Snicket has a most unique way of writing such a bleak story about three unfortunate orphans who are made to live with a horrible relative.
The story is not based on its character development. It's based on the interesting plot, which is kind of disturbing though.
This book is a bit fantastical and this horrible situation would probably not happen in real life, but it is still a pretty good read.
The story is so strange and different, you just have to try it. Also, the books get even more interesting as the series progresses.

Summary: The Bad Beginning
Review: This is a sad story about three Baudelaire children named Klaus, Sunny, and Violet. And their distant relative, named Count Olaf that is trying to steal their fortune. Good thing these three little kids are very smart. And there is this lady that always there to help them. That person is Justice Strauss. Count Olaf has to take care of these Baudelaire kids. Then he thinks of trying to steal the Baudelaire fortune with his associates. He thinks of trying to steal it by trying to marry the oldest child, Violet Baudelaire legally. Then Klaus goes to Justice Strauss's library to figure out everything he could about marriage. Then it is the day when they have to perform the play where everyone is invited. But Sunny couldn't make it because she was hanging at the rooftop of Count Olaf's house. But his plan all goes wrong when Violet doesn't sign the paper with her correct hand. The Count Olaf escapes with his associates and everything is fine. But where are the Baudelaire children going to live? I liked this book because it is exciting and kind of has some adventure. I also liked this book because the kids are brilliant and like to work as hard as they could. Violet is good at mechanics or inventing things. Klaus likes to read a lot and is good at looking for information and also understanding difficult words. He can also solve puzzles that are difficult. Sunny is creative by using her four sharp teeth. This was a really great book and I recommend every one of fifth to eighth graders to read this book.

Summary: Too creepy for young ones & too unrealistic for older ones
Review: I found the writing style interesting and enjoyable, but found the characters to be so stupid that I could not enjoy reading the story aloud to my 6 and 9-year-old children. I caught myself thinking again and again "no one would do that" Yet; the book was filled with seemingly real meanness and danger. I can't think of an appropriate age for this book because no one over 9 would find it believable and the creepiness is way too creepy for anyone under 12 in my opinion.

Summary: Bad Luck
Review: This is a gripping novel about three children who's parents die and thet have to go and stay with a distant relative.This is a bad move because the only thing this horrid man cares about is the fortune the baudelaires recieve.He goes to desparate measuress such as trying to marry one of them, just to recieve this money.This sort of story line carries on in different ways in the whole series!

Summary: The glummiest book iv'e read
Review: If you don't like unhappy endings, you shouldn't even need to read this review because this is the glummiest book iv'e ever read. it has bad events all the time and nearly no pleasureable events.Even though it is the gloomy book , i still think it is a good book. It is fun to read how the children do everything differently from what they used to do while they lived with teir parents. i also like the way they use to overcome the mean man they lived with and how try to make their friendshelp with out knowing that they helping or what is going on
