Even more terrible happenings concerning the Baudelaire orphans.
Dear Customer,If you have not heard anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you listen to even one sentence you should know this: Violet, Klaus and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their lives, I’m sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.
If you haven’t got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this tape will probably fill you with despair.
I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly bear the responsibility of exposing others to this miserable story.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Really enjoyable series of books about the Baudelare orphans and the awful count Olaf. I recommend this book.
Enjoyed the book, thought the characters were interesting
Violet, Klaus and Sunny go to live with Aunt Josepgine whose house is built over a cliff. She has been scared of everything since her husband Ike died from the leeches. Captain Sham who is Count Ofal in disguise and he kills her. Mr Poe comes to figure it out but the children escape in the back of a truck.
Its a fiction book, I like it because its imaginative, whenever there is a difficult word, the author always explains what it means. I would recommend this book to others because the storyline has a made up creature in it which I like the idea of. Also, the author uses alliteration in all of the names of places which is a good feature.
I liked aunt josephine
Loved this book so much
Klaus is really smart he figured out how to decipher the code Aunt Josephine put in the letter.
I wonder why Aunt Josephine framed her death?
Violet, Sunny and Klaus have yet, another tragic tale. If you don't want a story with a hurricane, deadly leeches, a doll called Pretty Penny and yet another murder, I think you should put it back on the shelf and seek something lighter.
I love this book so much. It is the best book I have ever read.
this is kind of a sad series because nothing ever end in a good way its always a bad ending and becaus the perants died they have to live with uncle po who works for a bank and coughs alot but in this story they get sent to there aunty that they ave never met before and is afraid of the lake.sorry i forgot the aunty and the lakes name.
I love how thrilling the book gets the more you read!
It was so good that I couldn’t put this book down!
DEFINETLY a Five star book!
Mysterious of how Count Olaf tries to steal the Baudelaire fortune
Because it has tense parts and as soon as I start reading it I will read so much because I am always curios of what will happen next.However ,also the fact that I learn some new words or phrases that I have never heard of! I would lover to read all 13 of them!
great!!
This. Is. An. Amazing. Book!
Super moving.
My favourite character was Aunt Josephine because she was so scared of everything due to her husband Ike being eaten by the Lachrymose Leeches.
I would recommend this book to my friend because she is interested in leeches.
Loved it
I found it very interesting and adventurous and loved the mysterious parts.My favourite character was Violet the oldest baudelaire orphans because of her knowledge of inventing.
I liked how their Aunt jumped out of the window!
Very funny. I liked the way aunt Josephine didn’t know that Sunny couldn’t speak properly yet. I also like the way sunny talks (shrieks)
In this story Aunt Josephine cares for the Baudelaire orphans. She is scared of everything from her Welcome mat to her phone which she has never touched. For every single thing she has ever seen she always has some reason why you might die by interacting with it. Count Olaf, this time, disguises himself as Captain Sam, a sailor, who pursues the children. Josephine writes a fake suicide note with hints about where she was hiding.
All I will say is that this book left me speechless! I thought that their aunt survived but them she also died.
Inspired me
Very scary - only recommend it if you like having nightmares
Still no funnies but most exciting book of the series so far.
I loved how the woman was scared of everything even the telephone. I also love how Klaus had to convince her that realtors were coming to curdled cave to get the woman out
I think that count Olaf disguised himself very well in this book especially with the peg leg. I also thought that it was a shame that he escaped again but it was still very exciting!
Amazing book! For all ages.
