Book description
NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.
In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour.
In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.
Tie-in books for the feel-bad movie of the year!

I'm discovering books I wouldn't have considered before, and my reading horizons are expanding. The narrators' voices on this app are so soothing – it's my relaxation therapy. This app has made audiobook listening an integral part of my daily routine – it's a habit I cherish.

The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.
