Within the pages of this novel, readers will discover one of the books upon which the movie Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events is based: The Reptile Room. Like the movie, this book tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children, who despite being pleasant lead unpleasant lives. From the very beginning of this volume, when the children are driving down a bad-smelling road toward a house full of mysterious beasts, continuing on to the last page of this distressing story, disaster lurks at their heels. Unlike the movie, however, this book does not contain moving pictures.

Count Olaf is not only smart, he is also intelligent. A renowned, talented, and handsome actor, he certainly could have his choice of any number of interesting careers, including a herpetologist's assistant, but as the saying goes, "nothing pays like crime." Watch out for the name "Count Olaf" everywhere.

P.S. He is also very good-looking.

  • Esilarante, scoppiettante, volutamente eccessivo, dagli avvenimenti ai personaggi (ma possibile che non ci sia un adulto dotato di cervello in tutto il mondo degli orfani Baudelaire?); si ritrovani i temi del primo, come l'importanza dei libri e dell'inventiva.

    Esilarante, scoppiettante, volutamente eccessivo, dagli avvenimenti ai personaggi (ma possibile che non ci sia un adulto dotato di cervello in tutto il mondo degli orfani Baudelaire?); si ritrovani i temi del primo, come l'importanza dei libri e dell'inventiva.
    Quello che tra tutto volevo sottolineare era il "panegirico" alle balle. Finalmente qualcuno che ha il coraggio di dire - e in un libro per l'infanzia per di più - che non solo dire le bugie "dà gusto", ma spesso serve e lo fanno tutti!

    My Thoughts

    This one I thought was going to be my favorite book in the series, but failed, the way the children believe they were going to be happy then have the uncle killed the next day... that's dumb... my opinion.

    Too much of everything is just enough.
    Barlow & Weir

    On the heels of completing A Bad Beginning earlier today, I finished The Reptile Room this afternoon. The Reptile Room is the second book in A Series of Unfortunate Events.

    The Bauderlaire children continue their misfortune in this exciting tale that has them combating Count Olaf once again.

    Despite never having a happy ending, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny begin this book with happy times. After escaping Count Olaf's plot to marry Violet and take control of the vast family fortune, the children are rushed off to Uncle Monty's (Montgomery Montgomery) home.

    Uncle Monty is a herpetologist and has a vast collection of reptiles including the Incredibly Deadly Viper, which he discovered and was set to present to the Herpetological Society. The Bauderlaire children were quite comfortable at Uncle Monty's for a time, until his new assistant showed up.

    Disguised as Stephano, Count Olaf enters the story once again with the help of the hook-handed man. The Bauderlaire fortune is still the target of Olaf's affection and he will seemingly stop at nothing to get it.

    Murder, snakes, and ingenious exploits make for a most interesting tale and one that keeps the reader engaged throughout.
