I love these books!! There about two sisters and a brother whos parents died in a fire. What I liked about these books is that it kind of reminded me of the Harry Potter books in a way. I also liked how when things got tough they kept trying to make them better, they just never gave up no matter how hard things got for them. What's sad is they keep haveing to live with these crazy people, since there parents died they have to live with there relatives. These are good books, that I would recommend to both boys and girls. If you haven't read these books go and check them out at your local library because all of the books in the series are good.

The Baudelaire children are taken to live with their once adventurous, but now timid aunt Josephine. She lives on the hill in the town of Lake Lachrymose. This lake is full of flesh eating leeches. Uncle Ike was killed by these leeches, therefore, making Aunt Josephine less adventurous. Aunt Josephine is forced into forging her dealth note. Klaus, who knows that their Aunt Josephine loves grammar, notices that she misspelled some words in signifying to them that she is not dead, but that she is in hiding. They find her in Cuddly Cove and take her back but end up getting caught by none other that Count Olaf. He kills Aunt Josephine, by feeding her to the leeches. The Baudelaires, once again, are on the run, trying to outwit the evil Count Olaf.

This book still affects me now. I will not go into water just after I have eaten. And when I see people who do I get scared for them, I think their going to die!
This was just another great book in this great series. The Aunt who wasn't really their aunt, she was part of a sercet the kids had yet to figure out.
The Count Olaf I wonder...will he ever realize that chasing them isn't worth it? He probablu spent more money chasing after then, then they actually have,
The house scared me though, they way it was set up and all. This was one of the few guardians that i actually liked.

This book is so depressing! Although it has excellent characters such as the inventive Violet, the story should be more exciting and also add some pictures to describe the setting a bit more. Although it lacks many good things that a happily ever after story has, it still makes you want to read on to find out what un fortunate thing happens next to the unlucky Bauldelaire orphans. Their guardian, Aunt Josephine, has so many irrational fears that she is barely capable of taking care of herself! Soon, she'll actually have something to fear about and so will the three unfortunate yet quick-minded and alert orphans on Lake Lachrymose...very, very soon!
