"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.

**Note audio book listened to at 1.25x speed.

I adore Lemony Snicket, so honestly, I’ll devour anything he writes: good, weird, confusing, whatever. His whimsical writing style always feels like stepping back into my childhood school library, and that alone makes his books special to me.

As for the plot… it fell a little flat. I expected each book to have its own mystery, but this one ends in a way that makes everything feel like one ongoing puzzle. There are about three different mysteries tangled together, and none of them wrapped up the way I hoped. It felt strangely unresolved and even though I didn’t expect everything to be wrapped up in book one (because it is a series) I definitely thought one mystery would be solved.

But even with the storyline being a bit flat, I genuinely loved reading it. The whimsical, quirky writing carried the whole book for me and made the experience worth it. Snicket’s voice is just magical like that.

I’m excited to continue the series, not because the plot blew me away, but because I’ll follow Lemony Snicket anywhere.

Not the best book

the book wasn't the best it really didn't satisfy me but overall the lemony snicket wrote all my favorite books

[R.L. · Rating 2 out of 5]

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.
