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.

This series was a real true story based book. It has brights sides to it but mostly dark sides. It's REALLY ADDICTING. the rest of the series is unknown where they lie.

This book is one of the ones that really jump starts the series and they find out a lot. I was hanging off my seat for many parts of this book. It also has a little humor in in but that dosen't mean it's not very unfortunate!

The first time I read the book I thought it was going to be boring but it turned out good

In one of my favorite books of this series, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to a boarding school called Prufrock Preparatory School. At first, the children are not fond of the school at all, but when they meet Duncan and Isadora Quagmire, twins who are misunderstood themselves, and their spirits lift a little bit. Then they meet the P.E. coach Coach Genhis, who is obviously at first sight Count Olaf. Follow the Baudelaire children as they attempt to survive their troubled lives.

This story is probably the most miserable book in the series!

great book! toats reccommended

I LOVED it!!!! Truly into adventures... Violet Claude and Sunny is really like the type-i-love!!! OMG! I just hate Uncle whatev!

this is a good book , kind of creepy but after u read acouple of them u get used to it

I don't like Olaf, and the story about Baudelaire struggling to have their own life was very poor. The book is very good!
