The Reptile Room by Lemony Snicket

The Reptile Room (Series of Unfortunate Events, #2)

by Lemony Snicket

This story has a happy ending. No, wait, that was a different tape...Dear Customer, If you have picked up this sheet, you have probably not read the warning so clearly outlined in my prior message. This story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire orphans spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle. But don't be fooled. The three siblings endure a car accident, a terrible odour, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a large brass reading lamp and the reappearance of a person they'd hoped never to see again. I have made a solemn vow to present this information to the public, but there is nothing stopping you from tearing up this paper and pretending you've never heard of this CD. Then you can sell something that is less unpleasant. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket

Read this one when I was little, so a huge part of it I couldn't remember very clearly any more. I love Snicket's style, and I feel the explanation of meanings of words is becoming a running joke. Really looking forward to rereading the next part of the series, The Wide Window, which was one of my favourites as a child.
