The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1):
Imagine tales so terrible that as many as fifty million innocents have been ruined by them – tales so indelibly horrid that the New York Times bestseller list has been unable to rid itself of them for seven years. Now imagine if this scourge suddenly became available in a shameful new edition so sensational, so irresistible, so riddled with lurid new pictures that even a common urchin would wish for it. Who among us would be safe?
Begin at the beginning – evenif it is a bad one – with the first in A Series of Unfortunate Events, now even more disposable in paperback!

Reviewed by anonymous on 2008-07-18: I almost reviewed A Series of Unfortunate Events several weeks ago, but I decided to get to book two in the series before I did. Book one had convinced me that "Lemony Snicket," as whoever writes these books insists on calling (read more ...)
