"Luckily for fans, the woes of the Baudelaires are far from over: readers eager for more misfortune can turn to The Reptile Room, for an even more suspenseful tale." --Publishers Weekly

A message from Lemony Snicket:

"Dear Listener, If you have picked up this audio book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid you have chosen the wrong audiobook. 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, 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 am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this audio book back on the shelf and seek something lighter."

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket
