Publisher Description
NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
In their most daring misadventure, the Baudelaire orphans are adopted by very, very rich people, whose penthouse apartment is located mysteriously close to the place where all their misfortune began. Even though their new home in the city is fancy, and the children are clever and charming, I'm sorry to say that still, the unlucky orphans will encounter more disaster and woe.
In fact, in this sixth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the children will experience a darkened staircase, a red herring, an auction, parsley soda, some friends in a dire situation, a secret passageway, and pinstripe suits.
Both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted, A Series of Unfortunate Events offers an exquisitely dark comedy in the tradition of Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl. Lemon Snicket's uproariously unhappy books continue to win readers, despite all his warnings.

"Way better than the last book!! There was actually a lot of action in this one, rather than some of the other ones...... But there was also a lot of detail that Lemony Snicket put into this book."
— Lynnse (4 out of 5 stars)
Quotes
-
“Despite Snicket’s perpetual caveats to ‘put this book down and pick up another one,’ the Baudelaires are dynamic characters who inspire loyalty to the inevitable end of the series.”
— School Library Journal -
“Tim Curry knows just how to deliver Snicket’s brand of alternately dry and over-the-top humor. The voices Curry creates are perfect.”

“Series fans will enjoy the quick pace, entertaining authorial asides, and over-the-top characterizations.”

" The best book in the whole series! Count Olaf is too funny not to like. "
— Ann, 2/1/2014 -
" Though the book's end hints at some very interesting mysteries for the Baudelaire children, this book was the least interesting of all of them. It is still a very good read and I look forward to continuing the series. "
— Ann, 1/23/2014 -
" Very good and touching. One of the best books along with the wide window, the vile village and the end. Definaltey going to be read again by myself and my friends. "
— Kayla, 1/15/2014 -
" i liked this book a lot because there are so many secerts in this book "
— Tina, 1/2/2014 -
" This book is about the kids thrying to find out one of there parents best kept secrets that is why I like this book and the secrets this is really exicting. "
— Alejandro, 11/28/2013 -
" Like happy books and nothing else? This series is not going to be your cup of tea. A SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS is just as the title proclaimed, a string of catastrophic events centered around three orphaned siblings. Personally, I thought that Snicket did a fantastic job of the series (the fact that the 13th book was going to be released on Friday the 13th made me smile). Snicket's clever useage of dialect and plot, made the series enjoyable and hardly unfortunate. "
— Kirsten, 11/12/2013 -
" it wasn't as good as the last ones so i don't know maybe the author 's lossing steam. "

" this one was really really good. "
— Dani, 10/16/2012 -
" Molly has made a deal with me: if I read all 12 (13?) Lemony Snickets, she will try The Hobbit. I read books one through five already so now I'm going on with six. My favorite sentence in this one: "If you've ever been forced to take a chemistry class then you know..." "
— David, 11/21/2010 -

" Kisah petualangan 2 orang yang anak yang selalu dikejar-kejar oleh seseorang yang ingin memanfaatkan mereka sebagai budak. Akhir cerita yang menggantung dan penderitaan mereka yang belum berakhir. "
— Suci, 8/15/2007 -
" I still love Snicket's style, but I'm getting tired of the same basic plot over and over. This is starting to feel unnecessarily drawn out. Hopefully, the next one will have something a bit less predictable. "
— Anne, 7/22/2007 -
" Like how she was all into fashion and what isin style.Not as good as rest of the bunch. "
— Steph, 7/5/2006 -

— Devine, 7/2/2006 -
" It's a VERY good book! "
— Philadelphia1on1, 8/29/2005 -
" The Beaudelaire children seemed to finally be under the guardianship of at least one sensible person. Unfortunately, it's someone with no backbone. "
— Linda, 5/3/2005
