Three books by Lemony Snicket—all in one foul package. This second Box of Unfortunate Events, contains The Miserable Mill, The Austere Academy, and The Ersatz Elevator. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Love the SeriesI started reading this series to my Grandchildren and just when I thought it was too depressing for them, they begged for more. I really enjoy them myself. Rating:  - Sinister, sinister, sinister, but fun...Whilst working on my dissertation I prefer reading something highly distracting. Last year I chose Philip Pullmann's Dark Materials. This year my eye fell on Lemony Snicket's peculiar narration of the unfortunate Baudelaire children. I hesitate to recommend it to my 13-year old goldchild who might doubt his godmothers mental state or taste for literature. I am, however, highly entertained. Innovative, good English, funny, ... and I certainly want to know how it all ends; hopefully less unfortunate...! ...

I didn't expect the story to be developing. From part 4 to 6 new personalities arive and the story develops further making you aware of and curious about the overall plot. Rating: - Better than PotterI bought the first set of books for my 8-year-old niece. She read all three in two months (it's the only books she has read without being prompted). Now I get hints to buy more so be prepared to buy then all. What more can I say. These book are well written, explain new words without talking down, so increasing vocabulary. Dark and funny. I only wish J.K.Rowling could write as good as this. Though that hasn't effected her book sales. Rating: - The fun is just getting startedThe family loves these books from Lemony Snicket. We can't wait for the next ones. |
