A Series of Unfortunate Events #13: The End 雷蒙·斯尼奇的不幸历险13：大结
After a singularly bad beginning, the Baudelaire orphans,Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, have finally reached the end.The questionis, will Book the Thirteenth in A Series of Unfortunate Events meetthe expectations of the series' myriad fans? Snicket might put it asomewhat different way: if end simply means to cease, the answer isyes. If, however, end means to complete, the answer is mostassuredly no--because though Snicket neatly clips numerous threadsin the tragic saga, he leaves others literally fluttering in thebreeze. As with the previous books, this one begins where itspredecessor left off, with the orphans and the villainous CountOlaf afloat on dangerous open seas. When a storm blows their craftashore, kindly islanders welcome the orphans, but Olaf is anoutcast. Have the children finally found the longed-for "last safeplace on earth?"

A Series of Unfortunate Events #8: The Hostile Hospital 雷蒙·斯
Dear Reader, Before you throw this awful book to the ground and run as far awayfrom it as possible, you should probably know why. This book is theonly one which describes every last detail of the Baudelairechildren's miserable stay at Heimlich Hospital, which makes it oneof the most dreadful books in the world. There are many pleasant things to read about, but this bookscontains none of them. Within its pages are such burdensome detailsas misleading newspaper headlines, unnecessary surgery, an intercomsystem, anesthesia, heart-shaped balloons, and some very startlingnews about such things. I have sworn to research this story, and to write it down as best Ican, so I should know that this book is something best left on theground, where you undoubtedly found it. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

A Series of Unfortunate Events #1: The Bad Beginning 雷蒙·斯尼奇的
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children.They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facialfeatures. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter agreedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, aplot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a largebrass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odour. In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comesan exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent,hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of threelikeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, orquite so uproariously unhappy.
