wide widow
i liked this book,but like all the Snicket books, violence is really strong.a hurricane,a suicide note, and a old woman getting pushed into the water,might be a little scary for young kids.you might get a grammar lesson,cause the kids say stuff wrong.I just started number 4!

Hilarious!
I am a HUGE Lemony Snicket fan and I DEFINETELY recommend this book, it is hilarious, but a little bit predictable.

best for 6th graders
Better than The Reptile Room as a sequel. I rated this iffy for just age 10 because of the leeches causing death and Olaf pushing Aunt Josephine.

Aunt Jospheine's grammar may educate young people, but the usual mild violence. The Baudelaires stick together. (Spoilers!) Count Olaf has Josephine write a suicide note, but she hides a message in it. At the end he kills her by throwing her to leeches who eat her.

Bravo!
We last left the three orphans watching Uncle Monty's reptiles being taken away, not a very cliff-hanging ending. Fan's of the series will want to move onto the next book though: The Wide Window. The three orphans move in with very cautious Aunt Josephine, who's house is dangerously built above Lake Lachrymose. A catchy storyline. I strongly recommend it.

I lost 6 brain cells reading this!
I didn't really enjoy reading this becaisse the author kept on talking about himself and what the words mean so it didn't really seem like a story it was more like a grammar source with a story to go along with it.

a good book
Other people should read this book because it a good book. Ex when they give you a gramer lesson, but also there are some bad thing too ,like they steal a boat, and there is a little hitting and bitting witch the kids mostly do and that might get the kids scared.
