A series of Unfortunate Events, indeed! You are pre-warned right from the start NOT to expect any other things but UN-fortunate Events. Of course, I was still being positive thinking that can't be right throughout the whole book but each time I think something was going well... I was proven wrong again and again. Nonetheless, this is an entertaining and enjoyable book. It explains some big words like 'insipid', 'duration', etc... And though the end is UN-realistic to the Adult Me, I would recommend this book to your children who like adventure books with a scary baddie :)
