If you only like happy books, you had better not read this book. But if you don't care whether a book is happy or sad, you will probably like it.

This book is the first in a series called A Series of Unfortunate Events. It is about three Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. After their parent's die in a fire, they are sent to live with Count Olaf, an evil sinister man who is either their 3rd cousin 4 times removed or their 4th cousin 3 times removed.

Little do they know, but Count Olaf is plotting to somehow get the huge amount of money they will inherit when they are older. This is a great book because it is funny, exciting, and a mystery all at once. After I read it I wanted to read the rest of the series.
