The Reptile Room

Misadventures of Baudelaires with reptiles and misery.

If you enjoy dark humor wrapped in a guise of a children's tale, "The Reptile Room" might be just the right blend of grim storytelling and quirky characters for you. Lemony Snicket's unique narrative style pulls you into the Baudelaire children's world where even the cheeriest moments are laced with forebodings of doom. It’s a brilliant second installment in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' that promises to mix wit with the macabre.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Dear Reader, If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but don't be fooled. If you know anything at all about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that even pleasant events lead down the same road to misery. In fact, within the pages you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible smell, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a large brass reading lamp, and the re-appearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again. I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket.
