PLEASE READ SOMETHING ELSE.
—Lemony Snicket
Are you made fainthearted by death? Does fire unnerve you? Is a villain something that might crop up in future nightmares of yours? Are you thrilled by nefarious plots? Is cold porridge upsetting to you? Vicious threats? Hooks? Uncomfortable clothing?
It is likely that your answers will reveal A Series of Unfortunate Events to be ill-suited for your personal use. A librarian, bookseller, or acquaintance should be able to suggest books more appropriate for your fragile temperament. But to the rarest of readers we say, “Proceed, but cautiously.”
BE ADVISED! This volume constitutes only one-thirteenth of Mr. Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events. Readers unafraid of bloodshed will want to continue with the second installment, The Reptile Room. Others will not.
