Book
Review: A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning
The
first novel in a series of thirteen, The Bad Beginning is full of mystery,
problems and despair. When the parents
of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire perish in a terrible fire one horrible
day while the children are at Briny Beach, Violet and her siblings are left
with nothing but each other and a banker, who is worse than horrible at keeping
them out of danger. When the orphans are sent to live with the dreadful Count
Olaf, they find misfortune at every turn, and as the series continues the Baudelaires
uncover a mystery that seems unwilling to be solved. With Count Olaf stopping
at nothing to acquire their fortune and make them miserable, their lives truly
become a series of unfortunate events.
Lemony Snicket's writing is intriguing and readers will
find it incomparable to anything that they have ever read before. With the
occasional bits of strange humor and clever loopholes that are completely
unpredictable anyone reading this book will never want it to end.
Unfortunately, as the series continues, some of the earlier books tend to get
slightly repetitive and the later books very confusing. Even though Lemony Snicket
frequently tells you not to read this book, for lovers of tragic tales and
mystery adventures, this book and entire series is a must read.
