A Series of Unfortunate Events

Enjoyment

A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket is a dreary but interesting series. It includes 3 main characters , Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, who were orphaned by a mysterious fire that occurred while they played at the beach. They are sent to their nearest relative, a man called Count Olaf, who is treacherous and plans to kill the Baudelaire's and receive the enormous fortune left behind. Throughout the 13 books, Olaf is thwarted by the siblings, who are accused of murder, theft, disruption of orderly conduct, and other acts of treason that are circled around Olaf. He gathers a group of freakish henchmen, and follows the Baudelaire's to the 13 different homes that Snicket has created for them. We may never know where they'll go to stay.

These books have little or no violence, romance, or inappropriate language in them. They are slightly violent, but nothing ever actually kills. The romance is spoken of thrice, and inappropriate language is limited to" stupid" and"shut up", so my parents and I approve. I may not have mentioned that I for one HATE
mushy gushy romance novels and totally inappropriate language novels, so this is important to me to be rating my total hobby: BOOKS! Read these Lemony Snicket books peeps, and be surprised and amazed!
