I'm sorry to say that the book shown on
the screen in front of you is extremely
unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about
three unlucky children. Even though they
are charming and clever, the Baudelaire
siblings lead lives filled with misery and
woe. From the very first page of this book
when the children are at the beach and
receive terrible news, continuing on
through the entire story, disaster lurks
at their heels. One might say they are
magnets for misfortune.
In this short books alone, the three
youngsters encounter a greedy and
repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a
disastrous fire, a plot to steal their
fortune, and cold porridge for
breakfast.
It is my sad duty to write down these
unpleasant tales, but there is nothing
stopping you from putting this book down
at once and reading something happy, if
you prefer that sort of thing.
with all due respect,
