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

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.

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.

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.

30 Jul 2023

I liked how their Aunt jumped out of the window!

27 Jul 2023

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.

22 Jul 2023

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

15 Jul 2023

Still no funnies but most exciting book of the series so far.

14 Jul 2023

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

29 Jun 2023

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!

30 Dec 2022

Amazing book! For all ages.

I really loved reading this book. It's about the three Baudelaire orphans, Voilet, Klaus and Sunny, who've had many adventures in the previous books, so I would recommend reading those first. In this book, they are put under the care of Josephine, their very scared aunt. But the evil Count Olaf manages to find the orphans once again, in one of his terrible disguises, and he has an evil plan to steal the Baudelaire's fortune. I would really recommend this book, it's very adventurous and exciting.

27 Sep 2022

I really enjoyed this book because a lot happens in every book in series something sad happens. My favouring character was all three balduarilaire children.

23 Aug 2022

i loved it because they found aunt Josephine's note

20 Aug 2022

I really liked it and I would recommend it to good readers . My favourite person is Aunt Josiphine because she is afraid of nearly everything!

12 Aug 2022

This is a very good book. It is about the three Baudilaire orphans (the heirs to an enormous fortune left to them by their dead parents) who spend their time trying to repeatedly escape the evil clutches of their uncle, Count Olaf. They find themselves the adopted children of their 'aunt' Josephine, a grammar-loving woman, who is afraid of everything. One day, they come back home, finding that Josephine is gone...

12 Aug 2022

l really loved this book because it was sad but the three children realised that even though they were very unfortunate they still had each other and that was very helpful in the book. They worked together to beat Count Olaf in his evil scheme. In this book my favourite person was Violet as she always thought of others before herself and never let her hopes dampen.

I can't say how much I love these books!
