About this ebook

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

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 are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched and will most likely fill you with deep despair.

From The Bad Beginning to The End, this comprehensive collection with unfortunate bonus material that may or may not include trivia questions, character profiles, and several very sad sentences is the only choice for people who simply cannot get enough of a bad thing!

Ratings and reviews

I've read the books and I've seen the movie in grade school. I watched the TV series once last year and again this year. It may seem a little repetitive, but these books are really worth it. The orphaned kids have hidden talents that help them outsmart their evil (and may I say very creepy) uncle in many ways than one who tried steal the Bouldelaire fortune, especially when all hope seemed lost. They still prevailed and were finally free from him at the end.

Though advertised the extras aren't extra. They are just random quotes found throughout the books themselves cobbled together without much thought and paned as character facts. For a long finished series that is famous for multiple allusions and huge pre planning by writer and artist, this was a really wasted opportunity ands am upset that they even advertised bonus material as it did factor into my buying decision.

OH MY GOD! I cannot believe that I lasted a part of my life reading this garbage. These books all SUCKED! Can someone please figure out how to give negative stars? Please, I really need to use them. I enjoyed this when I was five, I'm so glad I grew up. These books have to be the worst in history! First of all, None of the characters have any kind of personality. They only have like too trates each. Also His characters are all idiots. They keep making the same exact mistakes. You'd think they'd get the hint after about three books of noone listening to them, but no, it takes twice as long. And all the adults are about as smart as bricks, their either evil, or they keep getting fooled. You'd think after a while they'd realize that the children were right, but nope, just 13 books of idiots. And the ending, come on, he doesn't even tell us anything. Like first, of all, what happened to the triplets, (The only characters who are worth any[q~_]ing)? He doesn't tell us. I think it might have been the buzzing beast from his All the Wrong Questions series. He gives us no answer, and leaves us with questions. Also even I you could think of it as a good story, he keeps interupting it. He tells us stuff that we ton't geed to know. And he defines worlds in a truly horrifying way. Just because the kids in his are in surtain sichuations does not mean that's the words fefinntion. Do yourself a favor and listen to him when he tells you to find a different book to read. Serious[q~_]y. This series is truly offall. Your time would be better spend looking in to your toilet, or watching grass grow, (either of which would be more fun than this horrible monstrocity of a book series), if your really interested, go watsh the movie. The movie leaves out a lot, but it's better than this series, and the ending is much better. Besides, the way he ending it, you don't need all the stuff the movie leaves out anyway. This is truly horific and I'm doing my part for people everywhere by advizing you to do anyshing and I mean anything else with your time than read this series. I only ever really liked one character, and showed up in like one book. This is not somethx you want to read, so don't bother with it. Just go live your life with out wasting it on this hrific pile of garbage. seriously, this is not worth the money or the time.
