5.0 out of 5 stars Disaster, danger and death, 13 Jan 2008
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 of dismay will probably fill you with despair. Though it is very miserable this book is also very puzzling because there is a code that needs to be cracked. Missing people and a very wide window crash may frighten you in this terrifying book. Beware! This book is for only children under 16 and not a peek from an adult is allowed. Plus kids under seven must not read even a sentence in this horrible book. Rating: 8/ 10.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love this book, 3 Jan 2005
By A Customer
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

4.0 out of 5 stars A book full of laughter and suffering...., 28 May 2004
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.
