Unabridged. 5 CDs. Read by the 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 audiobook No 9, "The Carnivorous Carnival."

 

"Dear Listener,

 

The word "carnivorous," which appears in the title of this book, means "meat-eating," and once you have read such a bloodthirsty word, there is no reason to read any further. This carnivorous volume contains such a distressing story that consuming any of its contents would be far more stomach-turning than even the most imbalanced meal.

 

It would be best if I didn't mention any of the unnerving ingredients of this story, particularly a confusing map, an ambidextrous person, an unruly crowd, a wooden plank, and Chabo the Wolf Baby.

 

To avoid causing discoumfort, your time might be better filled with something more palatable, such as eating your vegetables, or feeding them to someone else.

 

With all due respect,

 

Lemony Snicket"
