A series of unfortunate events

This book reveiw is on "A series of unfortune events" the 6th one, it is called The Ersatz Elevator and is my favorite one of the series it is by Lemony Snicket, and he tells the story or the story is told from his point of veiw and he also winds himself into the story so it gives you the feeling that soome of it may be true.

I like the way Lemony Snicket describes his writing, specially when the children are push down a elevator shaft, he left two pages coloured in black ink just two show how dark it was., these pages were pg numbers 182 and 183.

The story is about three rich children who's lives are tragicly changed when there parents are killed in a house fire and they are taken in by a relation of so thats what they carer Mr Poe thought. this relation was Count Olaf and he was plotting to steal the forrtune of the orphans and use it for himself, everytime he comes up with new disguises to trick the orphans, but he never has.
In the book prior to this one thats book five the orphans were at a bording school where they thwarted Count Olaf's plans, but unfortunately he was able to escape with there friends who had, had similar experiences with there parents, but they thought there brother who was they triplet had died in the fire to. In this book they orphans try to escape from Count Olaf as well try to rescue there friends from his cluthes. They also come across something called V.F.D that they may or may not find out what it means.

At the end of the books there is a little blurb that tells you about the next book and a very random way in which the Editoris to come across Lemony's latests writings.

I recomended this book and this series for they are highly interesting.
