One word for the book
: Juicy adventure
It's quit unfair
actually (for the book), because I've watch the movie first before
reading the book. In my humble opinion, if I watch a movie, the fun
off reading the movie's book would be zero and it'll be bias if I
have to comment the book. But nevertheless for this book, both are
equal fun and exciting! After watching the movie, I saw or the
perfect word would be; acknowledge (bet the book had been there
years) the book at the library and was shock to found it had lots and
lots of series. Lovely! I did some jigsaw puzzle (mind you, I did
this in the library; running here and there like a little mouse) and
found almost all ten books of them! Then and only then I read the
summary at the back of the book; it amuse me. Funny and threatening
at the same time! The writer himself warns his reader to put the book
away. Why? Well of course because the storybook isn't of fairy tale
with beautiful princess and tall pink glass castle.
Summary: Do not
read this if you hate spoilers.
Three children with the
name of Violet, Klaus and Sunny Bouldelair who lose their parents in a
fire had to live by themselves and despite being rich they had a
nasty uncle who wanted to steal their wealth. Not forgetting their
bad lucks and whatnot but thanks to their brilliant brain, they
managed to wiggle their way out alive from each and every unfortunate
events. Its funny, hilarious, Gothic and also classic. The way the
story reveal itself is also amazing. Well I've only read the 10th
book; The Slippery Slope, so I don't think I have the right to judge
the book but I look forward to read them all. What kind of name is
Lemony Snicket anyway? Extremely interesting isn't it?
