The Wide Window

really nice loved it. SPOILER ALERT- all the books are nice especially hostile hospital it was very nice.i hope the series is continuedSPOILER ALERTafter count olaf died

The wide window is an awesome 👏 book 📚 I really liked it as it was very realistic and about how life really is and sometimes it has a sad ☹️ ending. One more thing is that if your grammar is weak, aunt Josephine is sure to help you out 😋

A Series of Unfortunate Events, as you know, follows three orphans, and an evil man, Count Olaf, who wants to get his hands on their inheritance. In every book, Count Olaf comes up with a plan, bad things happen to the kids, but they manage to stop him. Temporarily.The newest guardian for the Baudelaires is Aunt Josephine, who’s a sucky guardian because she’s afraid of everything. But the children are still trying to make do and, what do you know, Count Olaf shows up again. Obviously, none of the adults are any help because they refuse to listen to kids so they’re on their own, trying to escape Count Olaf’s clutches once again.It’s the same formula with every book, but not in a bad way. It’s like Phineas and Ferb. They make something awesome (and usually impossible), Candace tries to bust them, Perry goes off to fight Doof. Perry succeeds, Candace fails, onto the next episode. It works.The thing that, for me, improved in this particular was that it was more clever. The solution to the problems wasn’t obvious. You could see that the Baudelaire orphans are genuinely clever kids and it was really fun to see them trying to outsmart Olaf and save themselves. What wasn’t fun was the baby, Sunny, saying a one or two-syllable non-words a few times every chapter and the author telling us what she meant by them. For example:"“Delmo!” Sunny offered, which probably meant something along the lines of “If you wish, I will bite the telephone to show you that it’s harmless.”"I didn’t mind it at first, but it’s gotten more frequent and also, annoying. And I still think the tone of the novel is a little patronizing, which is not helped by the frequent explain-the-meaning segments. I like this series and I’m eager to find out what will become of the kids, I just think there are some things we could do without. But those things do not include the alliterative names. I love those.

Beautiful copy! This series is great for young readers - my 11 y/o sister loves it!

The book is really great !!!!!!!!!!! In a way aunt Josephine is pretty funny when she is correcting every ones grammar.Since Iam only in 4 std I didn't know about the apostrophe thing untill now!

Loved it

It was amazing how three young children figured out how Captain Sham is actually Count Olaf. It was sad when Josephine was in the lake but I'm glad Mr Poe believed them in the end.

Kid is enjoying this book series.

A character that says that grammar is the best thing in the world, the silliest villain ever and three smart kids. I read this when it first came out, have read it with my students and offered it to friends. It always works.Love the illustrations, too.

Bello, il formato è piu piccolo di un normale libro.

É interessante a ideia do autor de querer criar um padrão. 13 livros com 13 capítulos cada.Mas, neste o volume a história já começou a me parecer um pouco arrastada. Parece que o autor enrola para manter o número de 13 capítulos.De qualquer, continua sendo uma boa leitura para quem quer treinar o inglês. O texto não é difícil e a escrita é fluída, o que facilita a leitura.Além disso, me pareceu que nesse livro o tom pesado da história que a série narra ganhou tons mais escuros ainda.
