A Series of Unfortunate Events - The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket


Summary: Three Baudelaire children; Violet, Klaus and Sunny loose their parents by an unfortunate fire accident.  
They got adopted to Count Olaf, who’s a far related family. Count Olaf was a greedy man who was only concerned about Violet’s money and had an awful plan to take away. The children tried to send Count Olaf to the police office but unfortunately... he escaped. This is what happened in the last book.

In this story, three Baudelaire children got adopted to Mr. Montgomery. He was such a nice man who took care of Baudelaire children well. But one day, his new assistant, Stephano came to his house. The children noticed at once that Stephano is Count Olaf. The children were in panic. They tried to tell Montgomery but he didn’t believe what they were saying. One day, in the morning, children got up and went to the reptile room(library) and saw something terrible. They saw the corpse of Montgomery! It was sure that Count Olaf had kill him. But how can they prove it?

My Opinion and reasons: I really enjoyed reading this book because it was really interesting how children solved the mystery. Their evidences are really surprising so that I couldn't stop reading it. I highly recommend it to you.


My Rating/Recommendation:★★★

A Series of Unfortunate Events

     Lastly, I finished this book called 'A Series of Unfortunate Events; The Miserable Mill,' by Lemony Snicket. I started to read these series of books by going over the reviews that others wrote on the book blog. The four main characters were Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Count Olaf. This story is about the three Baudelaire orphans who lost their parents in a terrible fire. But Count Olaf tries to steal the fortune that their parents left behind. The three orphans are being adopted to different kinds of houses. This time, they are being adopted to a member who owns the lumbermill. But they feel that they are being watched by someone who was always following them.
     I really enjoyed this book because there are some words that can be hard for some people that are being defined in a more easier way to understand the texts. Also I think that this story has lots of explanations in different ways using metaphor, simile and other methods. I rate this book with five stars because I learned a lot of words by reading this book. I really recommend to read this series if you are interested in realistic fiction.
