The Reptile Room is book #2 in the Series of Unfortunate Events and finally, something good has happened to Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, the orphaned Baudelaire children. They are getting a new guardian, their Uncle Monty. We know from the beginning that Monty won't last long. After all, Lemony Snicket has warned us that there won't be a happy ending in this book. The children take it upon themselves to investigate and determine what the true cause of Uncle Monty's death. They are more than capable. Violet invents things, Klaus is brilliant because he reads a lot, and Sunny bites things with her sharp little teeth.

Snicket’s writing is exceptional and not reminiscent of any other writer that I have come across. His sense of humor is unique and consistent throughout each novel. I've been reading the books but I understand the audio, narrated by Tim Curry, is very good so I might listen to the next book in the series.

I've been enjoying this series for the tag this month. I love the humor, it's been a nice break among a bunch of sad books.

I love Sunny and the way the author interprets her language.
