Praise for A Series of Unfortunate Events: “Hilarious. But to the rarest of readers we say, "Proceed, but cautiously." Critical Praise A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books more appropriate for your fragile temperament. It is likely that your answers will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal use. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.Īre you made fainthearted by death? Does fire unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is cold porridge upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing? In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted.
