Review:The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket
9-15
Warning: Violence. To learn more, click the label dubbed
If you have not read anything about the Baudelaire orphans, then before you read even one more sentence, you should know this: Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are kindhearted and quick-witted, but their lives, I am sorry to say, are filled with bad luck and misery. All of the stories about these three children are unhappy and wretched, and this one may be the worst of them all.If you haven't got the stomach for a story that includes a hurricane, a signaling device, hungry leeches, cold cucumber soup, a horrible villain, and a doll named Pretty Penny, then this book will probably fill you with despair. I will continue to record these tragic tales, for that is what I do. You, however, should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable story.
After Uncle Monty, the Baudelaires think they're lives can't get any worse. When they arrive at Lake Lachrymoose they know they've been wrong. They're new home is so dull and gray, they live with a lady who is pretty much afraid of everything, they go to a restaurant called The Anxious Clown ( you can tell how bad it is just by the name ) and there's a rumor Hurricane Herman is going to strike that very town. Oh yeah and there's man-eating leaches too.
3 things you should know about Aunt Josephine:
1. She is the ultimate grammar lover.
2. She's scared of doorknobs, stoves, the lake,...
3. She is the worst gift-giver EVER.
By now you can see why the Baudelaires really dislike there stay at Lake Lachrymoose.
The best and funniest part of The Wide Window is when the Baudelaires eat the peppermints!
As I always say: Watch out and don't trust anyone!
