The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, #1)

Author: Lemony Snicket

I remember picking up this book as a child, drawn in by its ominous title and peculiar cover. Snicket’s darkly humorous tale of the Baudelaire orphans’ misfortunes captivated me from the start. His unique narrative voice, filled with witty asides and grim warnings, creates an atmosphere both whimsical and foreboding. As the siblings face Count Olaf’s nefarious schemes, I found myself rooting for their resilience and cleverness. It’s a story that lingers, reminding us that even in the bleakest circumstances, hope can be found.

If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book.
