Yes lately I have been reading simple/kids book with the exception of last week.Actually I felt tired on how generic the young adult section had become.Almost every book is a mirror between Twilight,Hunger Games or The Mortal Instruments series.Yes most of them are at least decent but you can seriously get tired of it so you may find me either reading Adult or Semi Children book for a while unless I find great Young Adult book that is.Oh have you all read The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling I actually bought the book on the first day but since some critics didn't like it too much i decided to read other book first If you have read the book I would appreciate your comment on the book.Enough about me and let us continueA Series Of Unfortunate Events:The Bad Beginning is a book written by Lemony Snicket.It is the first book of the 13 part series.
The High and Low
.The book has great interesting details
.The characters are likable
.The story seems to be somewhat undistinguished(You will undestand on why I used undistinguished if you read the book)
Quick summary
The story tells a sad tale about the misfortune of three kids named Violet,Klaus and Sunny.They are three kind,smart and especially resourceful kids who lived in a mansion with their loving parents.One day their hoouse were burnt and their parets died because of the tragic incident.According to their parents will they were supposed to live with their closest relatives until Violet turns 18 and can use their parents.After a while Mr Poe(a friend of their parents0found out that a man named Count Olaf lived not to far from their home and he was supposed to be a far away cousins of their parents so ofcourse the children had to stay with him.The children tried to do their best living in Count Olaf's house but he was simply too cruel to them.Letting them stay in a dirty room with a spoiled mattress.he also gave them unreasonable chores.the only bright thing they could find was Count Olaf kind neighbour Justice Strauss....................................That's all for now
The conclusion
Truthfully this isn't my book.This book actually belongs to my little brother's friend who accidentally left it there while playing with my brother and since you know that recently I have been saving money I decided to read it and yes I did get his permission.Anyway I found the book to be simply charming with it's narrative story and quirky character.Yes I even liked Count Olaf.The author's narrative story proved to be fresh and delightful.Unfortunately the story was simply unmemorable compared to the greatness of its narration and character.Truthfully I would have to say that this book is pretty depressing but then again maybe that is the reason that made the book so relatable.
