The Bad Beginning

If you enjoy stories that fill us with unsurpassed beauty and happy endings, I am sorry to say that that if you picked this book you are picking out the wrong book entirely. For this book has no happy ending. Even though the Baudelaire children are quick-witted and clever their lives are filled with misery and woe. In this book they encounter a horrible villain, itchy clothes, and cold porridge. If you do not have the guts to read such a book, it would be best if you find another book to read unless you dare to read this tragic tale.
