  <description><![CDATA[The letter on the back of the book from Lemony Snicket is as follows:<br/>Dear Reader,<br/>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 pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.<br/>In fact, within the pages you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a long brass reading lamp, and a reappearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again.<br/>I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter.<br/>With all due respect,<br/>]]></description>

If you know anything at all about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.<br/>In fact, within the pages you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a long brass reading lamp, and a reappearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again.<br/>I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter.<br/>With all due respect,<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[The letter on the back of the book from Lemony Snicket is as follows:<br/>Dear Reader,<br/>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 pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.<br/>In fact, within the pages you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a long brass reading lamp, and a reappearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again.<br/>I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter.<br/>With all due respect,<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[The letter on the back of the book from Lemony Snicket is as follows:<br/>Dear Reader,<br/>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 pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.<br/>In fact, within the pages you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a long brass reading lamp, and a reappearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again.<br/>I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter.<br/>With all due respect,<br/>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Doing this one on Audio too. Doing the whole series unabridged on cd.  Tim Curry once again is the reader and still amazing!  This story had a lot more happy times and some lol times.  So the sad parts can be more of a bummer because you really want these poor kids to have a good life.
