A series of Unfortunate Events : The Bad Beginning


The series of the Unfortunate Events is written by Lemony Snicket which then was filmed as a movie in 2004. The Bad Beginning is the first book of the series "A Series of Unfortunate Events". It is about the sad story of three children-- Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. Their parents perished in a fire, and they have to go and live with their far relative, Count Olaf, someone who claims to be their uncle. Count Olaf is a very evil man and is very mean to the children; he makes the children to do all the horrible chores. The Baudelaire children's parents were very rich, so, Count Olaf is trying to steal their money by killing them but making it look like an accident.

Luckily, the Baudelaires are all very smart and talented in some special way. Sunny, the baby who has sharp teeth and can bite through anything. Violet, who likes to invent things and is also the eldest; and Klaus, who remembers almost everything that he has read from the books. The Baudelaires used their wisdom and saved their own lives for a several of times, but Count Olaf is never that easy to get rid of. This is just the beginning of Count Olaf’s evil plan. How can the children survive this unfortunate event?
