NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES
In their most daring misadventure, the Baudelaire orphans are adopted by very, very rich people, whose penthouse apartment is located mysteriously close to the place where all their misfortune began. Even though their new home in the city is fancy, and the children are clever and charming, I'm sorry to say that still, the unlucky orphans will encounter more disaster and woe. In fact, in this sixth book in A Series of Unfortunate Events, the children will experience a darkened staircase, a red herring, an auction, parsley soda, some friends in a dire situation, a secret passageway, and pinstripe suits.
Both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted, A Series of Unfortunate Events offers an exquisitely dark comedy in the tradition of Edward Gorey and Roald Dahl. Lemon Snicket's uproariously unhappy books continue to win readers, despite all his warnings.

This book was amazing. It had everything: black comedy, comedy, sad, exciting. It was just amazing and i couldn't put it down.
awesomeness to the end really good on Lemony Snicket
If i were you, i would not read this extension to the Series of Unfortunate Events. In this dreadful story, the Baudelaires are sent to live in a penthouse apartment with Jerome and Esme Squalor who have taken them in because orphans are in. Esme Squalor is to obsessed with what is in and what is out to take real care of the orphans and Jerome Squalor is to cowardly to argue with his wife or anyone. One would think living in a enormous penthouse would be grand, but with busy gurdians and trying to find their way through the maze of bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, sitting rooms, standing rooms, and all the rooms with no pupose, life began to be as horrendous as any of the Baudelaire's past experiences. Then, with the arrival of Count Oalf- now dressed as an auctioneer named Gunther-and the discovery of an ersatz-a word which here means "false, faux, of mock"- elevator, the orphans lives head down a downward spiral. Literally. During this huge mess Violet, Klaus, and Sunny learn more about their friends disappearance, the meaning of V.F.D., and the hidden secrets of the Baudelaire mansion. For your sake and mine DO NOT READ THIS BOOK!
A mysterious,sad, and funny story.
This book is good at times I stayed up really late because I couldn't put the book down it was that good.
Read the whole series, and I seriously didn't see the relation ship between Esmy and Count Olaf coming
This book is full of mystery which is why love it so much. I have read books 1-7 and loved them all!
Ive read all 14 books
This book is amazing! I remember that my brother did this for his book report in third grade. I stuck with the first book, because you can't do a series book without explaining the whole series!
