Amazon.com Review Fans of Lemony Snicket and newcomers to his gleefully ghastly Series of Unfortunate Events will be elated to discover this boxed gift set of the first three books in hardcover: The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window. While it's true that the events that unfold in Snicket's novels are bleak, and things never turn out as you'd hope, these delightful, funny, linguistically playful books are reminiscent of Roald Dahl, Charles Dickens, and Edward Gorey. After they get their paws on this boxed set, there is no question that young readers will want to read the continuing unlucky adventures of the three Baudelaire orphans. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson Read more From the Back Cover The first Series of Unfortunate Events gift/box-set of this New York Times best-selling series. The set includes The Bad Beginning, The Reptile Room, and The Wide Window. Read more See all Editorial Reviews

The Trouble Begins: A Box of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-3 (The Bad Beginning; The Reptile Room; The Wide Window) by Lemony Snicket is Great series; terrible box set. One of the main reasons I purchased this box set is because I remember the beautiful pictures that adorn the cover of each book. Unfortunately, the box set comes with these big ugly Netflix stickers plastered not only on the box, but on each one of the books as well. When the Netflix stickers are removed, they take with them a layer of the books' outer sheen, leaving an ugly circular dull spot on the picture of all three front covers.
The Trouble Begins: A Box of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-3 (The Bad Beginning; The Reptile Room; The Wide Window) by Lemony Snicket is As with the rest of the series this has some dark aspects. My 8 year old loves the whole series. At the end of the previous book in this series the children stow away in the trunk of Count Olaf's car, which is a pretty bold move considering he is the villain. They end up at the Caligary Carnival, which sounds like another dismal location! They pose as "freaks" with disguises in order to learn more about VFD and the possible whereabouts of their surviving parent. The children continue to find that adults cannot be counted on to rescue them and they use their own resources to solve problems they encounter. In this story we have more of an inside view of Olaf and his henchmen who seem less and less scary and more and more idiotic as the children are able to fool them. The children also consider whether their counter measures are equally evil as Olaf's. The morality of what they do matters to them. I would say that overall this series gives kids an introspective look at making ethical choices, using their own resources to solve problems, and the need to be cautious with some adults who's motives may not be trust worthy.
The Trouble Begins: A Box of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-3 (The Bad Beginning; The Reptile Room; The Wide Window) by Lemony Snicket is I suppose I should mention that I'm an adult in her mid-30's, but I really enjoy these books! They're all very quick reads, but the writing is excellent and the stories are creative and interesting. Dark and gloomy for sure, but still fun to read. This particular story follows the unlucky Beaudelaire children to a carnival where the devious Count Olaf continues to plot against them and schemes to claim their immense fortune. Really fun books! I think I like them so well because I would have absolutely loved them as a kid, but I enjoy this series quite a bit.
The Trouble Begins: A Box of Unfortunate Events, Books 1-3 (The Bad Beginning; The Reptile Room; The Wide Window) by Lemony Snicket is I am a private tutor. Many students come to me as struggling and/or reluctant readers. These humorously unfortunate stories are great for motivating students to want to read. Lemony Snicket artfully introduces and explains new vocabulary words and then weaves them into the stories so that students see them used contextually several times. The series is particularly appealing to 4th and 5th grade girls.
