Things are not looking good for the Baudelaire children; their parents have died, their house has burned down, and the evil Count Olaf is after their fortune. And you thought things would be better in the sequel?
These books are endlessly amusing and inventive (like Violet!) and easy to sink your teeth into (says Sunny). In this part of thier story, the Baudelaire children move in with their Uncle Morty, an herpetologist, and his collection of snakes. Morty is kind to them, and gives them each their own bed, and takes them to the movies but. . . well. . . if you've read the first one, you know what (and who) is coming.
This book is just as delightful, or distressing, depending on your point of view, and those who liked the first will not what to miss the second.
