I've already read this on the page, and just now listened to the recorded edition, which is read by the author. If Snicket himself had read the entire series, I would have simply enjoyed it; but it's horribly unfair to ask *any* reader to follow Tim Curry, who read the first two books. Snicket's rea...
The Baudelaire orphans are extremely rich and Count Olaf (a complete stranger) wants that money! He will do anything to make this happen as the orphans have found out in the last three books. In this episode, he tricks the child welfare guy, Mr. Poe into leaving the kids at the Lucky Smells Lumber...
Once again Snicket keeps the same basic formula, but changes it just enough to keep it interesting. I have to respect him for this. Too often in children's literature, the storyline is repeated again and again and when a change does occur, it often lacks originality. Snicket does a great job breathi...
Last one for 2012! (A quick one sneaking in under the radar... much like Count Olaf keeps sneaking after the Baudelaire children).This one sees the children forced to work in an absurdly horrific sawmill.

The Baudelaire orphans end up at the Lucky Lumber Mill, where not only are they fed no breakfast, and only a stick of gum for lunch, and not only are they forced to work at the mill all day, but Klaus keeps breaking his glasses and getting hypnotized! This book follows the same formula as all the r...
The fourth installment in A Series of Unfortunate Events finds the Baudelaires being shipped off to Paltryville to work in a lumbermill under the instruction of their new guardian, known simply as "Sir".The Miserable Mill is full of simply wretched happenings in the Baudelaires lives, as is the norm...
Miserable indeed. Unfortunately this book in A Series of Unfortunate Events takes its title too literally. I enjoyed the first book and love the concept of put-upon children succeeding with no foreseeable hope on the horizon. However, the execution is too formulaic, mill-like if you will. I can put ...
Aunque adoro las alusiones a Orwell, es el libro que menos me atrajo en la serie. Por supuesto, considerando que adoro todos estos libros, eso solo significa que este lo releo menos veces que el resto.De entre todos creo que le falta intensidad y el conflicto me pareció menos sólido, pero también ti...
