Summary: Tragedy and misfortune show up everywhere the orphans are.
Comment: This is the most tragic book I have read in Lemony Snicket's hilarious A Series Of Unfortunate Events books. The third book, The Wide Window, is probably the most miserable tale of all for the three Baudelaire orphans, and misfortunate just can't stay away from them. When Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are sent to stay with kind old Aunt Josephine in a most unusual house overlooking a hill towering over the watery depths of Lake Lachrymose, home of the venomous Lachrymose Leeches. They don't want to ever encounter their greedy uncle Count Olaf ever again, who has tried to steal their fortune and will never stop until he has it. Just when things look more then unpleasant, their Aunt Josephine mysteriously vanishes into the lake, and the Baudelaires know their poor aunt is a victime of suicide. But the conspiracy that lurks this time for them will be more then sneaky, and now the Baudelaires will have to dodge the greedy hands of a sinister villain once again. This is perhaps the most miserable story in the hilarious series that keeps getting more and more miserable. The author knows perfectly how to make a hysterical but dreadful tale, with a chain of events that will be sure to entertain.

Summary: Excellent book!
Comment: The Wide Window is one of my favorite books in the Series of Unfortuate Events. In this book, the Baudelaires - Violet, 14, Klaus, 12, and Sunny (still an infant) go to Lake Lachrymose (right next to Damocles Dock) and live with their Aunt Josephine. She's scared of just about everything in her house (including the telephone!!) Although Aunt Josephine is scared of just about every thing, (including the lake which her house is about to fall into due to the fact that it is on the edge of a cliff) she loves grammar! Klaus becomes excited because Aunt Josephine has a huge library but he finds out that the only books she has are about grammar. Aunt Josephine practically starves them to death because the only thing she feeds them is cold cucumber soup. But before things get settled, Count Olaf is back and this time he is Captain Sham who is in charge of Captain Sham's Sailboats. After a while, Hurricane Herman comes to Lake Lachrymose. When the Baudelaires hear a crash, they run to the library and see a broken window. They suspect that Aunt Josephine has commited suicide. She does leave them a note that says that they will be adopted by Captain Sham! They can't believe it!!! Then Klaus realizes that there is something wrong with the letter and that is when is gets good! I won't say anymore - I might spoil the rest for you. Happy Reading!

Summary: The Wide Window
Comment: "I don't care what he calls himself. He has the same shiny eyes, the same single eyebrow-."
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are now living with their Aunt Josephine in a house overlooking Lake Lachrymose. Aunt Josephine is afraid to touch almost everything for fear it will explode, shatter, or electricute her. She is also afraid of the lake where her beloved husband, Ike, was eaten by the Lachrymose Leeches.
While shopping, Violet runs into someone she hoped never to meet again. Count Olaf, disguised as a man named Captain Sham, appears. Violet trys to explain to Aunt Josephine Count Olaf is in town. However, the Baudelaire's Aunt won't hear of it. Now, the children are faced with yet another terrible scheme from Count Olaf.
Once I started reading the 3rd book in the Series of Unfortunate Events I was immediately drawn into the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire. This is an exciting, suspenseful, cliff hanger experienced by three orphans. The Wide Window shows the bravery the orphans have when facing the terrible man who has been after their fortune forever. I recommend this book to anyone who likes realistic fiction or enjoys a story of misery and suspense.
