Présentation de l'éditeur
Dear Reader,
If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.If you haven't got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signalling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book will probably fill you with despair.I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable story.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Format:Relié
A clever book, clever story, clever writing style for a clever writer. A series of unfortunate events are unspeakably great. I think it's pretty undermined and we don't hear enough about, but that's a book of well-read people and a must have for anyone who likes reading as much as I do!!!!!
Format:Broché
Those poor Baudelaire orphans. After the death of their beloved Uncle Monty, the third installment of Lemony Snicket's tale has Violet, Klaus, and Sunny heading toward the home of yet another new guardian. Left by Mr. Poe at Damocles Dock at the edge of Lake Lachrymose for the taxi that will take them to the home of Josephine Anwhistle, the orphans must once again wonder about what fate holds in store for them. Will the grammatically correct dowager be kind like Uncle Morty, or wretched like Count Olaf?
It turns out that Aunt Josephine is a mixture of the two. Although she welcomes them into her home, the woman is so terrified by everything--the stove, glass doorknobs, radiators, and even realtors--that the children are hard pressed to enjoy their dinners of cold cucumber soup and their presents of a baby doll, train set, and rattle. Living high above the Lake that is full of the leeches that devoured Josephine's husband, Ike, the three Baudelaire children have a hard time convincing their Aunt to even leave the house.
On a trip to the market, however, who should appear once again with yet another despicable plan to steal the Baudelaire fortune but Count Olaf--this time in the disguise of Captain Sham, a man with an eye patch and peg leg who has opened a boating company of his own. Josephine, of course, is at once enamored of the dashing Captain, and Mr. Poe, as always, is not convinced by the children's claim that Captain Sham and Count Olaf are one and the same. What follows is another dose of typical Baudelaire fare--diabolical plans, a terrible hurricane named Herman, a bizarre restaurant named the Anxious Clown, a boat ride across a leech-filled lake, a rescue at Curdled Cave, and another meet-up with Count Olaf's nasty associates.
THE WIDE WINDOW is another winning story in the tales of the Baudelaire orphans. The story took me about an hour and a half to read, and is suitable for children around ages 9 and up. Again, however, you'll need to base your decision of its suitability on the maturity of your children, as this book is just as dark as the first two.

Once again the three Baudelaire orphans are shipped off to a distant relative, Aunt Josephine. Aunt Josephine is afraid of just about everything and everyone. This makes for a most unique lifestyle. The one exception to her fear of people is Captain Sham (and we all know who he is.) Prepare to join them on their unhappy journey and be ware of the "Lachrymose leaches."
In case you missed reading the previous two books in the series you are brought up to date in the first few pages of this story.
Lemony does it again using the formula that gives these chapter books a life of their own. We look forward to his writing style and his double entendre (which in this case means is a figure of speech similar to the pun, in which a spoken phrase can be understood in either of two ways) has shades of Bullwinkle.
If you also pick up the recording narrated by Lemony himself you will find him adequate, which in this case is sufficient, But no Tim Curry, to the task.
