Book Review: A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning


This is our first review from a library patron. Thankyou so much Charlotte for your review - we hope you have started a trend for all the book lovers in the Camden LGA!


A book that does not have a happy ending is not the book for some people. ‘The Bad Beginning’, the first of this (A Series of Unfortunate Events) series, is about how the Baudelaire children have to live with Count Olaf because their parents died in a fire. The children think Count Olaf is an evil person and he is. Count Olaf is making plans to steal the Baudelaire fortune, and his theatre troupe are helping Count Olaf succeed.


I liked a Series of Unfortunate Events because it showed how the Baudelaire children used their skills to help each other in their problems.


Violet, the eldest Baudelaire child, was my favourite character because I love inventing things and that was her favourite thing to do. Sunny, the youngest Baudelaire child, loved biting things but I don’t exactly like biting stuff and Klaus, the middle child, really liked reading big books.

Who else has read this book, and what did you think of it? Did you like Violet too?
