Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Losing patience as a reader
Review: I hate to say it, but I'm seriously losing patience with this series. The basic concept is still good -- three kids tossed through one hardship after another rather than winding up with a storybook happy ending. However, three books into the series, absolutely nothing is changing. The stories of each book are nearly identical -- things start out bad for the Baudelaire orphans. Count Olaf shows up, anxious to get their money. Mr. Poe and the other adults prove themselves to be idiots by not believing them. Count Olaf is thwarted. Repeat.

The characters are wooden. I've read three books in this series and I haven't learned anything new about any of the main characters since page 5 of the FIRST book.

The only thing that has saved the series for me thus far is the writing. It's good. Very good. Funny, clever (although not as clever as it thinks it is) and capable of pulling the reader along through a story that offers nothing new.

I'll try the next volume, at least, more on the recommendation of a friend than of any remaining intrigue on my part. I hope Mr. "Snicket" gets it together soon, though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the best book ever
Review: this is the best book i have ever read so far. i read other books by lemony snicket before but this book is her best. lemony snicket made me enjoy reading. before i read her books i would think, what is the point of reading? she puts you in a hole that sucks you in to a diffrent world when you are reading.
if you havent read this book and are used to books that are happy this book goes the opposite way. the book is about three charactors named violet, klaus, and sunny.these three children lost there parents in a house fire. durring when the house was burning they were playing at the beach if you think that is sad you should turn back and read a diffrent book. there is much more sad events in the book.
you should read this book unless you are verry emotional.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What happened to Tim Curry
Review: What was Lemony Snicket thinking of when he decided to narorate his own book. He has no emotion in his voice and all of the characters sound the same. We miss the voices of Tim Curry. The book is good, however, the audio version is not as enjoyable as books 1 and 2 were.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wide WIndow
Review: I read a book called The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket. This is such a good book! My favorite part is when Violet Klaus and sunny met Aunt Josephine. The part I didn't like was when they all met captain Sham. I didn't like this part because captain Sham is really Count Olaf! Well to find out what happens to the Baudelaire and Aunt Josephine read The Wide Window and remember its written by Lemony Snicket.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wide Window
Review: In this book The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket there are three
kids Klause,Sunny,and Violet Baudelair. Everything bad happens to
them besides being allergic to peppermints they are the three bravest kids I know. After being with Uncle Monty the Baudelairs
went to their next reletive Josephine Anwistle. Aunt Josiphine
is about the weirdest person I know. She's afraid of almost everything especially realtors. The Baudelairs get served cold
food for breakfast,lunch,and dinner. Josephine is afraid to touch the stove in fear she might burst into flames. Aunt Josephine lives on top of a giant hill on the edge there are beams that are stuck into the cliff to hold the house up. There is an evil guy named Count Olaf who's out to get the Baudelair fortune.
He disguiused himself as Captain Sham and he has buisness card which reads, every boat has its own sail. The Baudelairs have to try and convince Aunt Josephine that Captain Sham is really Count Olaf.I think this book is great I hope you think it is to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I'm A Male College Student Who Cherishes This Book
Review: In The Wide Window, the Baudelaire children once again are forced to go through horrid, desperate situations when they are sent to a new guardian, Aunt Josephine, who is too afraid of life to live it. Into the picture, of course, comes Count Olaf, and Aunt Josephine being too weak to save the Baudelaires, the three children have to depend on one another to try to get past his new scheme to end their lives and get their fortune.

There are just so many wonderful things about The Wide Window and this whole series. The book is so simple, but it also has so much to say about the nature of the world. Life isn't easy, and this series is brave enough to say that. But the novels also fight back against that pain-with Snicket's wry humor and with the familial love between the Baudelaire children. The Wide Window says so much that needs to be said, and I know that anytime I need to I can pick it up and know that I will be alright. There is always something to lean on.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Here we go again!
Review: What a great book! The orphans are sent to live with their second-cousin's sister-in-law, "Aunt" Josephine, who lives fear of everything from Lake Lachromose, where she lives in a rickety old house on a cliff, to realtors. Unfortunatly, the Baudelaires unlucky streak is back again. Count Olaf is once again in hot pursuit of the orphans. Find out what treachery befalls the children in this enstallment of the greatest series ever. LEMONY SNICKET IS AT IT AGAIN!...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Love Lemony Snicket
Review: My daughter is 8. She is a bit squeamish, so I wasn't sure when she chose the Series of Unfortunate Events Book I. She assured me she really wanted it. Well, now she is on book 3. She wizzed through the 1st one in less than 3 days. She brought Book 2 to restaurants and on errands. She simply loves them. She loves to recite to me what she has just read...just loves to talk about the kids in the book and what's happening to them. She just got book 3 for Christmas and she sits next to me and we read our books together. She cannot wait to move on to book 4. I will definately buy it for her. Very highly recommended!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best- but still good!
Review: This is yet another great book in the Series of Unfortunate Events. I don't think this is te best one, but it is definently worth reading!
