In a fading town, far from anyone he knew or trusted, a young Lemony Snicket began his apprenticeship in an organization nobody knows about. He started by asking questions that shouldn't have been on his mind. Now he has written an account that should not be published, in four volumes that shouldn't be read. This is the first volume.

"Valued at upward of a great deal of money" is destined to become a family catchphrase.

Being a huge fan of ASOUE I had a feeling I would like this series and I was right! It has the wit and charm of the original series and is much more mystery oriented. Very excited to finally sit down and read these books.

A children's mystery -- and it was wonderful. "Snicket" really has a way with words and descriptions! The mystery was intriguing, the story was interesting, and the characters were endearing. I love this for an 8-10 year old, and I plan to buy the series (4 books) for my goddaughter.

Although it plainly states this is just an excerpt, being the first four chapters, I was still disappointed. I don't think this is a good way to market a book.

Funny fellow

This short story is humorous and entertaining. I would say it would appeal to people who love detective stories.....but playful ones.
