Hello gentle readers. I apologize, I'm late on the update...by about 5 days...I'll catch up as quickly as I can.
This review is on The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket, the first book in the 13 part Series of Unfortunate Events.
It starts, rather gloomily, with an author's note on why this book should, under no circumstances, be read. From there our 3 protagonists Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire are introduced and our tale of woe begins. They are on a dreary beach and are given devastating news after which they go to live with their awful uncle who plots to steal the family fortune. Will they get away from the tyrannical Count Olaf? Will he succeed in stealing their fortune? What happens next?
This book, is actually quite cleverly written and pretty great. there are codes (no I won't give them away), villains, a hook handed man, pasta puttanesca and much more. Despite Lemony's desperate pleas to find something else to read (see the forward if you don't believe me) if you should persevere and read this book (which you totally should) I think you'll love it.
Yes I know, it's a short review today, I didn't get much sleep last night and have to be up in about 8 hours so this is where I leave you. I'll try to catch up tomorrow, or maybe tomorrow night, it's my mom's birthday though so I make no promises as to my updating schedule.
As for books I've recently finished reading, I FINALLY FINISHED THE BANE CHRONICLES, so I think I'll review that next...maybe...as always, keep reading, writing, and reviewing and the comment box is always open for comments and suggestions.
