5.0 out of 5 stars A great read!, 3 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Reptile Room (Series of Unfortunate Events) (Hardcover)
I think this book is a great read, but as it says in the book, it isn't good for those people who like happy endings. It is quite creepy. I would call it a thriller for children. I enjoyed it loads, and I would recomend it to people looking for a new series to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book worth reading, 1 Jan 2004
By Charlotte (Watford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Reptile Room (A Series of Unfortunate Events No. 2) (Hardcover)
I went to the library in search of a good book that would keep me occupied during the long summer holiday. I picked up a book that intrigued me by reading the back cover. So with no idea what I was in for, I rented it and began to read. This book kept me on the edge of my seat. Before I knew it I had finished the book, but my holiday was not over. I looked at the front cover to find I had read the second book of the series. So I went back to the library to rent the first. As so with the second I enjoyed the first. For christmas I asked for the Series Of Unfortunate Events. I read seven of the books i had had in the series in two months. This was unusual for me, for at my age I didn't like to read. After having these books I passed them down to my younger sister, who was seven years of age, to read. But why should you read it? It's interesting, griping, realistic and is something most people can relate to. Losing parents, having a brother or sister, to fell happy and sad, and sticking together whatever happens. I could tell exactly what happens in this book, but why don't you rent it or buy it and find out for yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars A misnomer leads to mystery in the miserable death of Monty, 16 Oct 2003
By bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: The Reptile Room (Series of Unfortunate Events) (Hardcover)
The Baudelaire midgets...oops orphans, Violet, Klaus and Sunny, Get to move in with their Uncle Monty. Here they get to use their skills with reading, inventing, and biting. We learn more about books and words. We also learn a little about haystack statistics.
Mean while, back at the ranch, shortly after the appearance of Stephano (and we all know who he really is), Uncle Monty apparently gets nipped by the Mumba du Mal. It is obvious to all but the midgets that the Mumba du Mal opens his cage with the help of other snakes and after doing the deadly deed locked his self back up.
Naturally the orphans must prove who count Olaf is, and get surprised by his assistant. This sets up the pattern for the next book in the series. Where once again access to a library may save their lives.
