Violet, Claus and Sunny Baudelaire live a comfortable life with their parents in the Baudelaire mansion. Sunny has all the hard things she could chew (Sunny has very sharp teeth), Claus has all the books he could read in the Baudelaire library and Violet has all the inventing things she could wish for. All is going well until the Baudelaire mansion burns down! Unfortunately the Baudelaire parents die in the rubble. The Baudelaire children are now orphans! They spend a short time at the house of a friend of their parents called Mr. Poe.
A couple of days later, the Baudelaire orphans get taken to a very distant cousin called Count Olaf. He wants to steal the Baudelaires' enormous fortune! (The Baudelaire children inherit a enormous fortune from their parents.) The children have to sleep in a small cramped room with one bed all together. To get the fortune Count Olaf comes up with a cunning plan, him and his theatre troupe put on a play and asks Violet to be in it. This play is about a wedding and he asks Violet to be the bride! With an official judge reading out the bindings the wedding becomes real and the readings say that the bride must share the fortune with the husband! Luckly, Mr.Poe finds out in the last second and puts a stop to the wedding but unfortunately he doesn't put a stop to Count Olaf and he is free to track the Baudelaire orphans once again and put more misery into their miserable lives.
I liked how Lemony made everything seem more miserable.
Rating: I'm going to give this book 8 out of 10!!
