Review title: The Bad Beginning lives up to its name.
Product review: Let's start out by saying that the only reason this book even got one star was because zero stars wasn't an option. I've read a LOT of children's books and this is far, far down on my list. The main problems with this book (and the whole series) is that the plot is dull, it's poorly written, there's no character development, you can't connect with any of the characters, it's depressing, and it's a teacher's worst nightmare if you value SHOW not TELL since the entire book reads like a plot summary. The appeal for these books is that they introduce vocabulary words, however what a waste of paper to do so in such an unimaginative way. There are so many books in this series, and it's probably because they only take about an hour each to churn out. The ONLY good thing about this book was that it was returnable. Let me plead, there are so many wonderful and creative children's books out there, DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS TRASH!
