Terrible things are constantly happening to the Baudelaire children. First their parents die and their house burns down, then they're sent to live with a terrible relative whom they'd never met. Then they are forced to do chores and serve their terrible relative, Count Olaf, while concocts an intricate plot to steal the fortune that their parents left for them.
This was a fantastic book that is a bit dark, but very well presented. Lemony Snicket has a great voice through the whole book that really makes the story come alive. The characters are very distinct and fun. It's a quick read and is great for a beginner reader who is picky and/or lacks the patience to read most books.
