Montgomery, or "Uncle Monty" as he prefers to be called, is a short, chubby man with a round red face. Montgomery is the Baudelaire's " late father's cousin's wife's brother". Montgomery Montgomery, who lives on Lousy Lane, in an area that smells like horseradish. PlotĪfter being taken away from their horrible guardian Count Olaf, the three Baudelaire children are taken by Mr. Lemony Snicket Dedication For Beatrice– My love for you shall live forever. I am bound to record these tragic events, but you are free to put this book back on the shelf and seek something lighter. In fact, within the pages 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. 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. 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. I would really recommend it if you're not up to something serious, but if your really want a different experience in storytelling.If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I'm afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. I'm not going to spoil any of the story, you just have to see it for yourself.
I love how they start out pretty clueless and end up taking control of the shitty situation they're in and try to find the answers themselves. Because the story is very unreal you shouldn't expect anything serious, but you can't do anything else then sympathize with those poor kids. They finally take the time to tell the story and make everything look as beautiful as I imagined it as a kid. I think the actors do a great job and they really understand the characters and what they're going through. Jackpot! They nailed it this time! The humor only was a hundred times more weird and quirky. Because for me it meant more time for the story, different actors and another change to be as funny, dark and unique as the book. When I heard they announced a complete series, I got excited again (yes, I always try to stay positive). I didn't like Jim Carey and it just didn't do any justice to the books. When they made a movie about it I was excited of course, but it didn't turn out very well in my opinion. Oh my god, I'm so happy they decided to make a series out of those books! When I was a kid I loved the books, they where very easy to read, funny, dark and different then anything else out there.
