A Seiries of unfortunate events Misrable Mill by Lemony Sniket was a good book becouse he evan tells you that "being the amount of unhappiness, horror, and dispair" So that would prove it is a sad book but it really is becouse not only is count olaf back he is in a wig and tites and he is receptionist at eye doctor and the doctor is in cahoots with "shirley". And the family member dosn't have a head or at least that they know of ..................you see Olaf is trying to get there money becouse in the first book there has been a terrible fire while they where at their beach. And Clause (the middle child) has been hypnotized and he can not be stopped except at the end his sister Violet ( the oldest)finds out everything and stops everything and she stops him before he hurts there best friend Charlse.
