Review

'A return to the dark pages sad orphan tales result in happy book sales' New York Post

Product Description

Dear Reader,

If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick–witted, but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.If you haven't got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book will probably fill you with despair.I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable story.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

Ages 10+

I love this book 2 Jan 2005
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
The Wide Window is one of Lemony Snicket's best yet. In this book the Baudelaire orphans encounter Count Olaf for the thirs time, this time disguised as Captain Sham. Their new guardian, Aunt Josephine, is frightened of everything, and believes every word Captain Sham says. Violet is an inventor, Klaus is an eager reader, and Sunny loves to bite things. This book is excellent and is full of surprises around each corner. i never wanted it to end. Sarah aged 9

Format:Audio CD
These audio CDs are great when you have a journey to make in the car with orphans, er, children. Lemony Snicket is a great author, however, it is Tim Curry who brings the characters to life, and I was really looking forward to his rendition of Aunt Josphine. Imagine our collective disappointment when it became clear that LS was going to read the whole book himself.

Still the children were riveted to their seats! (figuratively)

By Michael Cawdrey VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
This is the 3rd book of unfortuante events written by Lemony Snicket. This book throws the Bauldilaire orphans into more suffering at the hands of the evil count Olaf. There are new characters including Aunt Josophine, a women obsessed with grammer corrections. Prepare for more humor and tradgic events brought to you by Lemony Snicket. I recomend that you read the 1st 2 books before you read this one, so you have a full understanding of the story. It is not as good as the 1st books, but it is still good.

Lovely!
This is another funny tale from Lemony Snicket, which some may find repetitive, but I think that children love stories where they can predict what will happen. Read more

A Worthy Addition to the Series
You'd think that by now the Bauderlaire orphans might finally get rid of evil Count Olaf. But as this is a 'series of unfortunate events' so you'd be totally wrong. Read more

Stealing, of course, is a crime, and a very impolite thing to do. But like most impolite things, it is excusable under certain circumstances. Stealing is not excusable if, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and you simply grab the painting and take it there. But if you were very, very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it might be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your house, and eat it. &quote;
