I really liked the book because it was really exciting and you couldnt work out what would happen next.My favourite event was when Violet tried to rescue Sunny, because I wasnt sure if she would make it.My favourite character was Justice Strauss

A series of unfortunate events- Wide window

This book is a follow on from the other Series of unfortunate events-a Bad begining and The Reptile room.Violet, Klaus and Sunny are orphans as their parents died in a fire they were left to be looked after by their parents friend Mr.Poe but so far he hasn't done a very good job.There is a man called Count Olaf out to get them as their parents left them a big fortune.This time he is in disguise as a sailor called Captain Sham.He fools there Aunt(who looks after them)and it ends up that she runsaway.In the end Aunt Josephine dies due to Count Olaf but unfortunatley he gets away.My favourite character in this book was Aunt Josephine because she is a really strange character.She is just about scared of all her household objects and is also scared of the lake near her house and the strangre thing is, that she lives in a house that has stilts and thats on a hill right next to the lake.My favourite part to the book was when Sunny bit Captain Shams fake peg leg to reveal his real leg,with a tatoo which proved he was Count Olaf.It was just seemed quite funny that Count Olaf was caught! I wouldn't recommend it to all my friends as it isnt there type of book,but I thought it was really good.
