Wide Window
Wide Window | Lemony Snicket
Are things getting better for the Baudelaires? Could they possibly get worse? Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are fortunate to have found a new guardian, Aunt Josephine. Even though she is unusually nervous, she seems nice enough. And the children are also fortunate to be living so close to a large body of water. It's true that the lake is teeming with ferocious leeches -- but if the children wait one hour after eating, they can go swimming. It is fortunate, too, that the siblings have such a splendid view of the big dark lake. Never mind the news that Hurricane Herman is racing toward them; Aunt Josephine's house is built sturdily on a cliff. But above all, the children are lucky that they have a home now where they can rest up. For these are the unlucky Baudelaire orphans, and they will certainly need all their strength when everything that could possibly go wrong, suddenly does.

A Series of Unfortunate Events #3: The Wide Window is the third book in this captivating series. This story has many ups and downs and uses a mysterious and interesting writing style. This is a perfect read for many young readers and would most likely be perfect for the ages of 8-12.

The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket is book three of the 13 book series that explores the adventures of the Baudelaire children who are orphans. I recommend this book for children ages 8-12!

The Baudelaire siblings are starting to realize that they can't rely on the adults around them to save them from the evil Count Olaf...

They switched narrators on me and I was unpleasantly surprised. No more Tim Curry 😞

TheSpineView I hate when narrators change in the middle of a series. It throws the characters off in my mind. Great progress though! 2y

Unfortunate events continues😞 but this book is more about over coming fears. I like the part about rational and irrational fears. And learnt good grammar lessons 😂#seriesread2022

The adults are still frustrating, but I know that‘s the point of them. This book really shows how smart the Baudelaire‘s are because they had to figure out a lot. Finally, Aunt Josephine is so afraid of things that it‘s truly her undoing.

MatchlessMarie @CollapsingLibrary I‘m actually reading through these for the first time I never read them as a kid but always saw them in the library and was like “one day” lol I‘ve been enjoying Tim Curry on audio for the later books. 3y

The Wide Window really displays how smart these kids are. There was a lot they had to figure out and then prove. I have to say, I don't know why Mr. Poe doesn't just believe them when they tell him something. It's so frustrating.

"They had each other. To have each other in the midst of their unfortunate lives felt like having a sailboat in the middle of a hurricane, and to the Baudelaires orphans this felt very fortunate indeed".

My favorite so far!

This has been our favorite Lemony Snicket so far. After escaping count Olaf for a second time the children go to live with Aunt Josephine. Aunt Josephine‘s obsession grammar and fear of everything made both of us laugh out loud. The children seem to grow more clever with each novel and Count Olaf‘s disguises hilariously elaborate. On to book 4. Fun one to listen to on our road trip.

Macker11 Love this ! I have 3 kids reading this along with me, they really dive deep into this series 5y

I started reading the A Series of Unfortunate Events series recently and now that I am far enough in to be able to watch the movie, we are making Cheer Up Cheeseburgers for dinner. And apparently lemon bars because that's what my husband thinks of when he hears "Lemony Snicket" ?

Another amazing installment isn‘t this series of very unfortunate events for three orphans who are just trying to find a new home.

Count Olaf just seems to always be waiting around every corner, and he is determined to get that fortune.

In this particular book, they are sent to live with their aunt, who is scared of, well, everything. Loved her character!

I‘m ready for part four!

Book 19 of the year finished Feb 23, audio

I liked this one. Starting to want to slap Mr. Poe, he may be a worse badguy than Count Olaf.

This is a series I always wanted to read, but never did. I'm glad I waited though because my local library has them on audiobook read by Tim Curry (original Pennywise) 😱❤ I love hearing him read these; it's so much fun and they've been making my work day go by fast. I particularly liked this one with Aunt Josephine and her fear of everything. I want to finish them all and try out the Netflix series. Anyone watched it yet?

pamannmcm I bailed on the Netflix series a few moments into the first musical number, but the books are amazing. I read them when I was a young teenager. 6y
Addison_Reads @pamannmcm I didn't know it was a musical. I enjoy musicals, but I feel like that might take away from the overall tone of these stories. Oh well, I'm loving the books, and we all know the books are always better. 6y
pamannmcm @Addison_Reads I don't know if it can be categorized as a musical as much as a show with musical numbers which is confusing. I would definitely watch the first episode if I were you. 6y

Really loved this one, these books just keep getting better and better. Aunt Josephine was both insufferable and loveable in equal measure, but I think Dr. Montgomery Montgomery is still my favourite (so far)!

"Well, maybe the peg leg was false," Count Olaf admitted, and took a step backwards. "But I've never seen this tattoo in my life."

There's some seriously great quotes in these books ? this one, along with "Come along, little idiots" are my fave!
