A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning: Or, Orphans! (A Series of Unfortunate Events)
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

Welcome to gothic literature, kids
I've been reading gothic lit since I was 14; had this book existed when I was 9 years old, my love of the genre would have started even younger. A Series of Unfortunate Events introduces a slightly younger crowd to the sinister indulgences of...

The Bad Beginning
This series is more a triumph of marketing and presentation than an actual literary achievement. From Lemony Snicket's dire warnings on the back cover to the stylized illustrations and old fashioned fonts, the idea is to present a work of Gothic...

Sick & twisted. No youth (or adault) should read it.
Things like a guardian trying to force a 14 year old girl to marry and tying up an infant and hanging her in a cage 30 feet in the air are REVOLTING. Why would anyone think this is appropriate reading material for teens or children?
