Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket January 12, 2009

Posted by jcarlson in : Family Fiction, Humorous Fiction , trackback

The Bad Beginning is about the Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny.  One day when they were at the beach, they got a message that their parents died in a house fire, and they will stay with Count Olaf.  They stayed there for a few days, and they didn’t like him.  He made them do chores all day, and he was so mean.  Count Olaf’s goal was to get a hold of the Baudelaire fortune.  He tried to marry Violet, but it didn’t work.  I liked this book because you don’t know what the kids will do next.

I couldn’t wait to start this series! Once I started I couldn’t put the book down! There are many sad things in this book, but also many humerous things. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
