Dear Reader,

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 the one you are holding may be the worst of them all.

If you haven't got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signaling 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

    The book is not a fun read, in a traditional sense. It makes you feel frustrated and worried as you find the three siblings fighting against the persistent Captain Olaf. However, as the narrator aptly put at the end of the story, the moral is to appreciate the fact that we have the support from our loved ones, and in the case of the siblings, the lesson is that they should appreciate each other.

    This lesson may seem trivial, however, it is so true. As we confront the harsh reality every moment, we may not be able to solve our problems and everything won't just turn out okay easily, all we can do is to appreciate our loved ones.
