Category: Book review

Dear Reader,  If you are looking for a story about cheerful youngsters spending a jolly time at boarding school, look elsewhere. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent and resourceful children, and you might expect that they would do very well at school. Don’t. For the Baudelaires, school turns out to be another miserable episode in their unlucky lives. 

Another amazing book from the “series of unfortunate events” series. This book is the 5th book in the series.

The character are so amazing. They are even better than they were in the first book in this series. You can truly see the character development happen in each book which is the most satisfying thing to see in this series.

Violet, Klaus and Sunny are getting smarter, and they find new unique ways to catch Count Olaf and make the adults see that they were telling the truth about who Count Olaf is, in his new disguise.

However we get very little of Count Olaf in this book. In the previous books he had more or less a role near Violet, Klaus and Sunny but not its a little bit different. 

This book has the same amazing, eerie vibe which the first book had. To be honest it might have even bigger eerie vibe than the first book. Because we are on the 5th book so we know that Count Olaf will turn up with his troop and with his schemes very soon. 

The plot in this book is amazing. Because Violet, Klaus and Sunny are send to a boarding school. And Violet, Klaus And Sunny gets new friends. But at the same time the principle is an idiot and not the kindest person.

I have one question about this series so far. And that question is how is Count Olaf able to find Violet, Klaus and Sunny so fast as he does ? 

The writing style in this book, as in this series as a whole (so far) is incredible. Its so good, that I can’t even put words to it. You really have to read this series to really understand what I’m talking about.

There is a lot of adventure and mystery in this book just as in the previous 4 books in this series. Which might be the reason why I love this books so far.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, I hope, for your sake, that you have not chosen to read this book because you are in the mood for a pleasant experience. If this is the case, I advise you to put this book down instantaneously, because of all the books describing the unhappy lives of the Baudelaire orphans, The Miserable Mill might be the unhappiest yet. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are sent to Paltryville to work in a lumber mill, and they find disaster and misfortune lurking behind every log.

This book is the fourth book in the “series of unfortunate events” which is one of the greatest series ever written.

This book is very short just as the previous 3 books in this series. And I’ve done the same thing which I’ve did with the previous book which of course is reading the entire book in one sitting. 

This book is a page turner just as the previous 3 books in this series. And so far I come to love this series more and more with each read book in this series.

The more books you reading in this series, the sadder you feel for Violet, Klaus and Sunny. Because Count Olaf is making more and more schemes and Violet, Klaus and Sunny can’t even catch a break.

The plot here gets a really sad, because Violet, Klaus And Sunny are forced to work in a lumber mill and Klaus gets hypnotised. At the same time it’s very interesting to read it and very enjoyable.

The plot in this book is highly depressing and terribly entertaining. Which is a unique mix between these two.

I need to give Count Olaf some credit because his get-rich schemes are getting better and better which each book. 

The character are so amazing. They are even better than they were in the first book in this series. You can truly see the character development happen in each book which is the most satisfying thing to see in this series.

However Mr. Poe is still the blind idiot he was in the first book. At this point being in the fourth book, he really should get the hint of listening to Violet, Klaus and Sunny when they say that a person is Count Olaf is disguise. However it’s very satisfying to see him shown by Violet, Klaus and Sunny that they were right all along.

The writing style in this book, as in this series as a whole (so far) is incredible. Its so good, that I can’t even put words to it. You really have to read this series to really understand what I’m talking about.

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, 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 signalling 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.

This book is the third book in the “A Series of Unfortunate events”. And I gotta say that I continue to love this series.

The plot in this book is amazing. It’s interesting, enjoyable and sad at the same time. Violet, Klaus and Sunny are still followed by Count Olaf. And Count Olaf have more schemes to do.

The characters here are getting better than they were in the first book. Violet, Klaus and Sunny are so much better than they were in the first book. You can truly see the character development happening.

When it comes to Count Olaf, his schemes are getting better. Which at the same time is very good but also you make sad for the main characters. 

However I wish we could see more from the weirdos in Count Olaf’s trop. Because I would love to learn more about the set of weird characters from his trop.

This book is as gloomy, eerie and dark as the first and second book in this series. Which really makes me love to continue this series because it continues to have the same eerie and dark vibe which the first book in this series had.

The writing style is amazing just as in the previous books in this series. If I dare to say, the writing style is even better than in the first book.

However I wish that this book just as in this series, did make it obvious that Count Olaf will turn up at some point. It would have been so better if Count Olaf just showed up suddenly.  

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I’m afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but don’t be fooled. If you know anything at all about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that even pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.

This book is just as amazing as the first book in this series. 

This book is very short just as the first book, and I personally read it in one sitting and I loved every second of it as I did with the first book. And a part of me didn’t want this book to end because I’ve enjoyed it so much.

Before starting reading this book I had a fear that the series will go down in quality but the opposite happened. Because tis book is even better than the first book in this series which really made me love this series so much more.

The plot in this book is even better and more amazing than in the first book. There is more sadness and unfortunate events in this book. But there is also more schemes from Count Olaf which makes it more fun but at the same time more sad.

The character here are amazing. Violent, Klaus and Sunny are still the amazing characters as they were in the first book. Count Olaf is still up to his schemes. And we get a new character in this book which is Dr. Montgomery Montgomery which is a distant relative to Violent, Klaus and Sunny.

Dr. Montgomery Montgomery is the perfect guardian to the children but of course there is tragedy. Which is very sad, because after the kids receiving some happiness while living with Dr. Montgomery Montgomery, Count Olaf shows up and tragedy tricks the kids.

The writing style here is amazing. Because is easy and simple which means that it can be read by both children and adults. 

This series so far is very interesting, enjoyable and sad. And it doesn’t fail to capture your full attention and keep you reading until the last page. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5

Dear Reader, I’m sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. From the very first page of this book when the children are at the beach and receive terrible news, continuing on through the entire story, disaster lurks at their heels. One might say they are magnets for misfortune.

I finally found the best series to read if you are looking for a series with no happy ending and where there is a lot of things happening but all of these things which take place aren’t good.

The plot here is very interesting, enjoyable and it really is good at fully grading your attention and focus and not letting you until you finish the book.

This book is very short, and I personally read it in one sitting and I loved every second of it. And a part of me didn’t want this book to end because I’ve enjoyed it so much.

If you watched the series on Netflix with Neil Patrick Harris, then you must read this book since its even netter than the Netflix series. 

The plot in this book is where the parents to Violet, Klaus and Sunny die in a house fire and leave their 3 children as orphans with big fortune belonging to their dead parents. After the parents die, the children get involved in a spiral of sad, tragic and unfortunate events.

The plot here is simple which means that children can read it to as well as adults. However if you read it as an adult you will find it eerie at times and you will notice more details than the younger readers.

The characters here are very good, because they feel like they are real human beings. And they have something unique to them which makes them very easy to tell apart and to fully adore. 

Count Olaf is very evil and is fully of evil schemes to get his hands on the kids’s fortune. There is something very uneasy about him due to his actions and mistreating the main characters who are children and his focus being solely about their money. 

The writing style here is amazing. Because is easy and simple which means that it can be read by both children and adults. 

I really wish that I’ve read this book as a child because after reading this book I found what was missing in my childhood. And it is of course this book.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
