(69) The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

This is the first book of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

For those children who are too lazy to check dictionary, these books are wonderful as every difficult word is explained on the same line.

My children have watched the cinema interpretation of the series. None of them would recommend others to view it. In fact Elizabeth asked me why would anyone in their right mind choose to read such a sad tales. Well! Why not? For one, I often count my blessings when I open books of this kind. Compared to these three young orphans in the book, I have a mother who is alive and active today. I lost my dad at the ripe old age of eighty seven. Just this thought kept me grateful for months.
