A Series of Unfortunate Events #7: The Vile Village
NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES Dear Reader, You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages. I can think of no single reason why anyone would want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats. It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children's lives and write them all down, but you may prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead. With all due respect, Lemony Snicket Mob Mentality: When the entire town turns against you, fueled by an angry mob and ridiculous rules, escape seems impossible. Incompetent Guardians: The saying is "it takes a village to raise a child," but the Baudelaires soon learn it really means doing chores for hundreds of adults who offer no protection at all. A Gothic Mystery: The Baudelaire children must decipher cryptic clues to find their friends while trapped in a village shrouded by thousands of migrating crows. Dark Humor: A narrator who begs you not to read, villains in absurd disguises, and a series of truly unfortunate events deliver the signature wit fans love.
