![]() ![]() ![]() And in the future things are poised to get much worse, thanks to the forthcoming Netflix series directed by Barry Sonnenfeld. 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.ĭespite their wretched contents, A Series of Unfortunate Events has sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey. In The Reptile Room the siblings endure a car accident, a terrible smell, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a brass reading lamp, and the re-appearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution. You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read. There is nothing to be found in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events but misery and despair. ![]()
