NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odor.

I think this book is interesting but morbid as there are some worrying scenes but altogether it is a very good book and I would definitely recommend this books to readers over the age of 11! This book is not for people who get scared or upset easily.
This book is about 3 kids called Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire. They were part of a nice family until one day. When they found out a huge fire that burnt their house and killed their parents, they went to go live with a man called Count Olaf. Little did they know that he wanted to inherit their large fortune that was left by their parents. With countless attempts to get their fortune, will the Baudelaire siblings ever be free?
My favourite character is Violet Baudelaire because she’s very smart and always does her best to keep her siblings safe.
