Dear Reader,
I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.
In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast.
It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales, but there is nothing stopping you from putting this book down at once and reading something happy, if you prefer that sort of thing.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

The novel, 'A Series Of Unfortunate Events', is quite a marvellous novel written by Lemony Snicket. It is an adventurous novel, and has a lot of action in it. Lemony snicket uses normal but rich language in this book and there are many vocabulary words that could be learned such as the author also defines it indirectly to the reader.
This novel's plot revolves around the unfortunate Baudelaire children, whose parents died in a fire. The Baudelairs are sent to live with their distant relative, Count Olaf, who is going to try and steel the fortune that Violet, the oldest sister, cannot touch until she is older enough. This novel mainly focuses on the miseries of the children,how they protect themselves from getting torchered by Olaf and finally how the children will prove to the world that Count Olaf is indeed a criminal and should not be their gaurdian.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: A Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket.
Three children recieve terrible news that will change their lifes forever! They discover a terrible villain with an equally terrible plot to steal the children's fortune and they need to outsmart him before it's too late!
This book is full of miserable adventure.I recommend this to those dark readers of misery and woe and those who need a break from happy endings.
