This is an amazing series about three children whose parents die in a mysterious fire. The will states that the children should go to the nearest relative, which turns out to be an evil 'Count Olaf' who the children have never even heard of, and who seems to be trying to get at the orphans fortune (the children's parents were very wealthy). The orphans keep trying to escape Count Olaf's evil plots and end up in increasingly unfortunate scenarios. This book is about three unlucky orphans, Violet, Klaus and the youngest Sunny in which their parents died in a terrible fire caused by a mystery which they have to solve themselves. Their closest relative isn't much help so they encounter the most cold-hearted, greedy villian. Count Olaf disguises himself into all sorts of people so he can get his hands on the Baudelaire fortune, which is the only thing that satisfies him. Violet is the inventor,whenever they get caught in a sticky situation, she is the one who tries and use all the things around her to create something that can help them in some way. Klaus is the bookworm. His interest is to read all different types of books and use all the knowledge he's got to express the ideas he has read. Sunny is the tough bug. She has monster teeth which can bite onto almost anything, her strengh and power can pull through anything. i think people who like reading really depressing and sorrowful books should read the series but if you're the type that likes more cheerful books, then i don't recommend this book.YEEEEEEEEAAAHhhhh!!!!=) Kind of long and redundant, but has some really funny parts in it. I loved every book...(did not enjoy the movie). My favorite part in the whole thing was the page (and then the exact same page) on Deja Vu. I shared with my mother my love of these and she went out and bought the set as well. I found my self snickering through the whole read and enjoyed that I could pick up and finish a whole book in just under two hours, so it was easily something done on a weeknight after work (I am the kind of person that doesnt want to put down a book after starting and tend to stay up way to late to finish, even on weeknights). no reviews | add a review
