I hope, for your sake, that you have
not chosen to look at this web site
because you are in the mood for a pleasant
experience. If this is the case, I advise
you to click your mouse someplace else
instantaneously, because of all the books
describing the unhappy lives of the
Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill
might be the unhappiest yet. Violet,
Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to
Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and
they find disaster and misfortune lurking
behind every log.
The pages of this book, I'm sorry to
inform you, contain such unpleasantries as
a giant pincher machine, a bad casserole,
a man with a cloud of smoke where his head
should be, a hypnotist, a terrible
accident resulting in injury, and
coupons.
I have promised to write down the
entire history of these three poor
children, but you haven't, so if you
prefer stories that are more heartwarming,
please feel free to make another
selection.
with all due respect,
