Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Liam Aiken narrates this prequel to the Series of Unfortunate Events in a somber, deadpan tone that heightens its dark humor…Aiken creates voices that delineate character and help keep clear the large cast of Snicket’s associates, enemies, and enemies that turn out to be associates. Aiken’s tone of quiet urgency will keep listeners hooked through wordplay, mysteries, good meals, romance, and the appearance of a new villain named Hangfire…This smart and funny listen will please Snicket fans and create new ones.” —AudioFile
“Thirteen-year-old Lemony Snicket must work together with his incompetent chaperone to figure out who is burning down all of the buildings in the quaint town of Stain’d-by-the-Sea…This series carries the same sarcastic charm of the Unfortunate Events books and will have young readers chuckling out loud. The characters are all fun and quirky in their own right, and the mystery is well developed and enticing…The author does a fantastic job of incorporating mini vocabulary lessons into each chapter. Fans of Snicket’s previous outings will devour the latest entry.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
“Even Lemony laments he has the incorrect questions, albeit often the right answers. If you haven’t read the two previous titles, there’s no point in picking up this one. Go back, young adventurer, and start with Who Could It Be at This Hour?” —Booklist
“Linguistic play and literary allusions abound in this smart, slyly humorous noir thriller. Fans will be over the moon, a phrase that here means exceedingly pleased.” —Kirkus Reviews
