I love it!
This is the sequel to "The Bad Beginning." I found it more interesting and harder to put down! There is violence as usual though. And Count Olaf chooses to swear a few times and he keeps wine in his room. Ages 9 and up.

Excellent!
One of my favorite books in the series- it's a hilarious and clever fantasy adventure! Kids (or anyone else) with a slightly twisted or sarcastic sense of humor will love it!

Skppable book in the Series.
This is the only "iffy" book in the series. I really object to the two swearwords Count Olaf uses, but also the blatant use of God's name in vain. It happens three or four times throughout the book, which I can't explain because nowhere else in the series does it occur. I guess David Handler learned from it. Definitely could be skipped; not crucial to plot of series. Otherwise, classic Snicket.

another great book
a really good book and one of the best ones written in the series! this is a cool addition but parents should know that count olaf drinks wine (but as usual the author gives this a negative veiw) there is a murder commited, and count olaf swears sometimes. but thats about it. its a wonderful book!
