Description : “If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book. In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle.”
In this Book the First, by Lemony Snicket, you are taken through the terribly unfortunate world of the Baudelaire orphans, whose parents were tragically killed in a horrible fire that robbed the Baudelaire’s of any happiness they might have known. From there they are accompanied by the incompetent Mr. Poe, who always has his handkerchief close at hand, to live with their first, but not last, guardian. Their guardian, as fate would have it, is none other than the wretched Count Olaf, whose manners and personal hygiene leave much to be desired, and the company he keeps is only more tragic. His gothic mansion is disturbing and dark, and everywhere you go mysterious eyes follows you always watching, even from Olaf’s ankle. The book is a delightfully dark and ghoulish read.
