NancyJ (nancyjjj) | 10785 comments I apparently have to be in the right mood to read a Lemony Snicket book. I enjoyed this one more than the first book, even though the story is comparatively slight. In this installation , the 3 orphans are sent to live with their Uncle Monty whose home is full of snakes - in cages of course. This might sound creepy, but the kids really liked Monty, and learning about snakes. Even the baby has a favorite. (My kids had snakes, and left one behind with us. It entertains my mother. ). The story was surprisingly happy, until of course Count Olaf shows up in a disguise, and only the kids see through it. Mr Poe (Doe,Pho, Coe, whatever) has a bad cold and Tim Curry treats us to the full range of mucus filled sounds in the audio. I imagine little boys love it. I might try the ebook if I read another one. The song at the end was cute though.
