Rating: 5/5
The Baudelaire orphans (Sunny, Violet and Klaus) have been moved to a new caretaker, Aunt Josephine. Their aunt is scared of many things, like turning the hob on, touching the radiator or twisting a doorknob – anything so simple like that. Since she lost her dear husband Ike in Lake Lachrymose, she will now never go even on its sandy shores.
When the children once again meet cruel, horrible Count Olaf, how will they survive this terrible adventure without getting into his care? Everybody knows that the only thing evil Olaf is after is the Baudelaire fortune, but his future hope might not come true…
This book is amazing, but I have to say, I rate it for eight to fifteen year olds. It is astonishing, especially the funny and intelligent way it is written.
