Summary: A Bad Beginning Is A good Beginning.
Review: The Bad Beginning. By Lemony Snicket.
The Bad Beginning is the first book of the series of unfortunate events.
It explains the plot of the whole series and the "misery and dispere they are about to go through." It's still got it's humor. But it's more adventure than anything. this book is fiction but you can admagen what there going through and count olaf and the fire and Mr.poe. It really keeps you wondering just when you think somethings gonna happen it does a total 360.
I think anybody who reads this book will like it. The interest level is anybody in my opinion. the reading level is ages 9-12. The 3 Baudelare orphans are very smart and funny. Count olaf is very mean,nasty,and most of all evil. If you think his henchmen are bad they don't come close to count olaf. Count olaf and his hentchmen try to steal the Baudelare fortune.
I like the plot of the story. I think it's a very good book.
I would rate this book five stars plus 2 thumbs up. Look out J.k Rowling and R.L Stine. cause you got some competition.

Summary: The saddest book in the world
Review: This review is from an 11 year old reader who read "A Bad Beginning". If you don't like sad books don't read this one. It tells an unhappy story about some unlucky children. These children have an encounter with a very greedy relative. Since the children are very rich, their relative tries to steal their fortune. If you like sad stories I reccomend this book to you.

Summary: not that great but i guess........
Review: Hello.
I am a vivid reader and when my dad and his girlfriend bought me the series of unfortunate events #1 thru #6, I was not exeption-ally pleased.I read them all, so when I had to do a book review for school I picked the bad beginning.I really liked the story line-three sibling's parents die when the house is caught on fire and burnt to the ground and then they go live with the horrendous Count Olaf-but at cirtain points the story really seemed to be getting nowhere.Also, when Lemony Snicket wries things like the first sentence of the book, (from my perception) it seems to discorage me.
("oops" if I have spelling mistakes)

Summary: Wonderful in its own way
Review: This book is purely wonderful in its own way. It is not like other stories where the children are having a terrible life, their parents die, they live with an evil uncle, but everything turns out okay because their parents weren't really dead and everything is happily ever after. The book keeps you thrilled and on the edge of your seat until the last page. Then you run after the second book. I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of the ninth book in the 13-book series, The Carnivorous Carnival. (By the way, if you think I am too young to be reading these kinds of books, I can handle it. I am advanced.)

Summary: im an old scaredperson, lol
Review: i bought this book the other day because i thought it looked interesting. i am generally a fan of the macabre.
and i did love this book. i will have to get the rest now!
the three baudelaire children are made orphans, when their parents are killed in a massive fire. they are sent to live with the cunning Count Olaf, who has this strange obsession with eyes... and getting his hands on the childrens' great fortune.
but after reading this book, i can only wonder why it is reccomended mostly for kids late in their elementary school years... i'm sixteen and i found the book haunting. it was extremely witty, and made me laugh on several occasions; snicket has a great -- and delightfully dark -- sense of humor. but i could not imagine myself being aged 12 or under, and reading this book...
i have the unnerving habit of getting my hopes up at all the wrong times. can you believe that, despite all the many warnings on and in the book, i still secretly hoped for a happy ending? lol, neither can i. but if you are consistantly optimistic and cheerful.... snicket is right. perhaps you are better off reading some other book ;)
ah, hear me ramble.
so! in short!: it is a very well-crafted book, which you should read if you can handle misfortune, and have the money to fork over for the rest of the series because you WILL get sucked in and want to read them all ;)

Summary: IT'S EVERYTHING THEY SAY IT IS AND MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. I recommend this for kids ages 10-15.It was really sad. I have read many of the books in this series and I have to tell you that if you don't read it in order, then you won't understand what's going on. By the way, I recommend the Harry Potter books, too.
