As the three Baudelaire orphans warily approach their new home Prufrock Preparatory School, they can't help but notice the enormous stone arch bearing the school's motto Memento Mori or "Remember you will die." This is not a cheerful greeting and certainly marks an inauspicious beginning to a very bleak story just as we have come to expect from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, the deliciously morbid set of books that began with The Bad Beginning and only got worse.

Liked it, but very harsh for them. Weird vice principal, to.

I love it!

I read this book because it was a page turner and I was so curious I wanted to know what would happen. This is about three children named Violet, Klaus, and Sunny they have a very unlucky life and are passed over to the hands of a relative named Count Olaf that is very greedy. It is up to the children to save their fortune, and on their journy they have a series of unfortunate events, will succseed or fail?

I love this book! The attention to detail is amazing! You can literally see what's going on in your head! I award it five stars!

I just finished this book and absolutely loved it!!

I read the first three books in the series, but then it sort of got boring so I stopped 3years ago

I would start again if I were you because they get so much better!

This is my favourite book! I should read all the series , it's so interesting I have to recommend this ooh for all of you!
