 "The Reptile Room"
by Lemony Snicket - unabridged
audiobook (books on CD). Read by Tim Curry.
"A Series of Unfortunate
Events" contains a total of 13 stories presented in a a
tongue in cheek way and is intended for older children (middle
school, about 10 years old) and a wry sense of humor. Here is
the description from the back of the audiobook of the No 2, "The
Reptile Room."
"Dear Listener,
If you have picked up this
audiobook with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale,
I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong audiobook altogether.
The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children
spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a
giddy uncle, but don't be fooled. If you know anything at all
about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that
even pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.
In fact, in this audiobook
you now hold in your hands, the three siblings endure a car accident,
a terrible odor, a deadly serpent, a long knife, a large brass
reading lamp, and the reappearance of a person they'd hoped never
to see again.
I'm bound to record these
tragic events, but you are free to put this audiobook back on
the shelf and seek something lighter.
With all due respect.
Lemony Snicket"
