Hardcover RABCK from meger in New York City. Thanks so much! I loved the first and second books, and look forward to reading "the rest of the story." The Jim Carrey movie is based on the first three books. Read more at LemonySnicket.com.

From Kirkus Reviews
The third book in A Series of Unfortunate Events has all the stuff of its predecessors' melodrama--bold narration, dark humor, exaggerated emotions and dialogue, humorously stereotypical characters, and an overriding conflict between good and evil. The orphaned Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus, and baby Sunny, experiencing still more misfortune, are sent to live with their irrationally fearful, grammar-spouting Aunt Josephine in a drafty old house that teeters dangerously above the leech-filled Lake Lachrymose. Here, they encounter Captain Sham who dupes Aunt Josephine but not the Baudelaires. They suspect evil of him, for he is really the villainous Count Olaf, who aims to steal their fortune. Their heroic efforts and a few harrowing escapes make up the giddy, preposterous plot, full of hurricanes and leeches, a peg-legged pirate and a place called Curdled Cave. Children and fortunate adults will relish the good-natured wordplay and the attempts at the heights of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll; the three likable, independent orphans wend their way through modern fairy-tale action in a darkly humorous, look-out-for-the-next-one novel.
Ages 10-12

Just as good as the first two books. Thanks again, meger! Now I can see the Jim Carrey movie, which was based on the first three books. And I'll have to find a copy of Book the Fourth—hopefully hardcover, as they are so much nicer than the paperbacks, with fancy endpapers and a bookplate.

Kind of a downer kid's book, but I really liked the author's depiction of Sunny, and her toddler babblings with their very exact translations. I will seek out and read the others, tho. I'm putting it in the 'Day of Caring' bin at SML for collecting kids books--maybe I can recruit a young bookcrosser!
