Review title: BAD BEGINNING INDEED
Product review: I was surprised, after being seduced by the book's cover, how ordinary a read this is. It claims to be like Edward Gorey, but doesn't have half the bite of his work. I found the villians to be stock characters, and I found the resolution ad-libbed. On the other hand, it's a quick, felicitous read.
