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.
Truth be told, within the chapters that
make up this dreadful story, the children
will face snapping crabs, strict
punishments, dripping fungus,
comprehensive exams, violin recitals,
S.O.R.E., and the metric system.
It is my solemn duty to stay up all
night researching and writing the history
of these three hapless youngsters, but you
may be more comfortable getting a good
night's sleep. In that case, you should
probably choose some other web site.
with all due respect,
