A Series of Unfortunate Events #2: The Reptile Room Kindle Edition

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.

Product description

From AudioFile

[Editor's Note: The follwing is a combined review with THE BAD BEGINNING.]--The three Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, have recently joined the world of children's literature made hospitable by a wizard named Harry. Their miserable lives, an unrelenting series of catastrophes, have become the source of grins and giggles among elementary and middle-grade readers. And who better to read the serialized melodrama than the multitalented Tim Curry, master of multiple voices and deadpan delivery? Fabulously funny, the first two volumes afford Curry, as the deeply sorrowful, omniscient narrator, an opportunity to display his enormous talents--in Mr. Poe's chronic, wheezing cough; Sunny's squawking, incomprehensible gibberish; Count Olaf's sinister and malevolent arch villainy; and Uncle Monty's lisp. An added bonus on The Bad Beginning is a wildly funny interview between Leonard Marcus and Daniel Handler (who is actually suspected to be the author, Lemony Snicket!) that will have kids longing for more. To extend the fun, each audiobook is decked out with an appropriate theme song by the Gothic Archies. Listeners should be prepared to settle in for some serious frivolity! T.B.

Amazon.com Review

The Reptile Room begins where Lemony Snicket's The Bad Beginning ends... on the road with the three orphaned Baudelaire children as they are whisked away from the evil Count Olaf to face "an unknown fate with some unknown relative." But who is this Dr. Montgomery, their late father's cousin's wife's brother? "Would Dr. Montgomery be a kind person? they wondered. Would he at least be better than Count Olaf? Could he possibly be worse?" He certainly is not worse, and in fact when the Baudelaire children discover that he makes coconut cream cakes, circles the globe looking for snakes to study, and even plans to take them with him on his scientific expedition to Peru, the kids can't believe their luck. And, if you have read the first book in this Series of Unfortunate Events, you won't believe their luck either. Despite the misadventures that befall these interesting, intelligent, resourceful orphans, you can trust that the engaging narrator will make their story--suspenseful and alarming as it is--a true delight. The Wide Window is next, and more are on their way. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

I think this book is excellent.It is really easy to read and enjoyable. You learn new words on every page and the meanings of the words are part of the writing. But it was all very sad so if you don't like sad books don't read this one.

Read this before buying !

Reviewed in India on 10 March 2017

The book picks up exactly where the first one left.

Yet again, the tone & writing of Lemony does the charm again, keeps you on the edge. It's difficult to put down the book once started.

If I compare with the part 1, this one lacks a bit of thriller, but since it's a series of some 13 books, and thriller alone can't build up the story, it's okay.

I love the book dedication part!
It reads
"for Beatrice - my love for you shall live forever. You however, didn't"

PS: i read on kindle so i can't comment on quality of paperback .

A pleasant pastime not only for kids!

This book series caught my attention because of the Netflix series with Neil Patrick Harris. And as I usually like reading the original books before watching a movie / series, I gave this one a try.

It is quite entertaining and very easy and fast to read. I really enjoy the lecture especially after a long and stressful working day (so far I have read books 1 - 6). This book series is just something you can switch your head off and can read it through without the need to concentrate too much. The way Lemony Snicket writes is very easy to follow and just makes you keep reading, even though the events in the book are predictable.
Also the illustrations by beginning of every chapter in the Kindle version are a welcome change!
The only thing I do not like is the patronising way to explain 'difficult' words - of course those stories were written for children but even then I don't think that that much explanation is actually needed.

Oh Book It

A Series of Unfortunate Events is my favourite series on Netflix

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 June 2018

A Series of Unfortunate Events is my favourite series on Netflix, so a few months ago I decided I was finally going to buy the books and read the whole series, and I don't regret that decision.

The Reptile Room is the second book in the series and is much better than the Netflix series.

The book opens with Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire on their way to live with their uncle, Dr Montgomery Montgomery, a semi-successful herpetologist with a large collection of reptiles.

Dr Montgomery's assistant, Gustav, left him without any notice just before the Baudelaire orphans arrive, and his replacement, Stephano is strangely like Count Olaf.

The thing I love about The Reptile Room is the dark humour running throughout it. There are constant jokes that are definitely not aimed towards children which make it such a fun book to read.

It's funny, sad and entertaining all at the same time and I really do wish I'd have read it when I was younger because it's just the ideal book for me.

Amazing!

I chose this rating because I liked the way it had slight humour but Snicket kept onto the fact that pretty much the whole content of the story was misery. I also liked the way everything flowed nicely and everything made sense.

This book is an extremely imaginative and incredible story, one which I have enjoyed an inordinate amount. It is very descriptive and I am very grateful to my brother for suggesting it to me! Even though the story is about unfortunate children, it is not one where you feel so sorry for them that you have to put the book down. It is more of one where you can hardly put the book down, and where you can read on with vigorous enthusiasm. Thank you Lemony Snicket!
