Dear reader,There is nothing to be found in Lemony Snicket-s -A Series of Unfortunate Events- but misery and despair. There is time to choose another international best-selling series to read. But if you insist on reading the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution-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 Hostile Hospital the siblings face a suspicious shopkeeper, unnecessary surgery, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startling news about a fire.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.Despite their wretched contents, -A Series of Unfortunate Events- has sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey and a Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Har
