Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning and The Reptile Room Book review:

I know I started the Secret Survive omnibus however it's five separate stories in one book so I thought I would read another book. Is it just me or do people need a break from books written in old English with a newer book. Anyway, back to a series of Unfortunate Events. Because there are 13 books I thought I would review two at a time and then do the final one on it's own. So here's the first two books:

The Bad Beginning:

Little parts of this book make me laugh so much. Lemony Snicket is really clever with his little jokes like at one point in the book he writes something like this twice just to mess your head: You might be so tried that you read the same sentence twice. And when I saw it it made me laugh so much that everyone around me must have thought I was going crazy.
   These sorts of books are my favourite with murder, mystery and humour. Sometimes there are little bits of quirkiness that may be a little bit weird for some people but I love it. This books may not be for some people however if you love mystery books I would fully recommend it.

The Reptile Room:

This book is a great follow off to the first one because it's similar but still very different. Also, towards the end you start to solve the mystery before the characters do and it made me feel really clever and I don't know why. It might make you feel clever too I don't know. In the final 5 chapters I really couldn't put it down. I couldn't put it down for all the book however this part really got me so I finished it in around 10-15 minutes.

Now it's time for everyone's favourite part of the post. AUTHOR FACTS!!!! Lemony Snicket's real name is Daniel Handler and he is now 45 years old. He was born in February 28th 1970 in United States, California, San Francisco.

Thanks for reading again comment if you have any suggestions for posts or any books you want me to read.
