The Wide Window is the third novel of the children's book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. In this novel, the Baudelaire orphans live with their aunt Josephine, who is seemingly scared of everything and of course, a sailor named "Captain Sham", who is actually Count Olaf in disguise, shows up to get a hold of the Beaudelaire orphans. I didn't like this entry as much as the first two novels but it was still entertaining. The three Baudelaire orphans have been set up with a new guardian, Aunt Josephine. She's afraid of everything, including cooking food, and thus only serves cold food, insists on correcting everyone's grammar, and lives in a house that's nearly falling into a lake, of which she's also afraid. Count Olaf trying to get the kids out of her guardianship seems like a blessing this time, except that he's happy to commit murder to do so. I do not get what people have seen in this series that it went as far as 11 books and spawned 2 adaptations. I'm not necessarily against formulaic series—sometimes the formula is what makes something work well, but not when the formula is held to this strictly. Not nearly enough changes, and the "dark" tone is just unpleasant, in my opinion. After the first book, I thought surely it would get more interesting or creative, but it's really just a rinse and repeat of the book before it. Except that while the guardian in the previous book was a nice, somewhat normal-seeming guy, Aunt Josephine was an over-the-top, ridiculous loony. What made it all worse for me was that I started into this series primarily because the books were narrated by Tim Curry, but the places I have access to audiobooks for free only have a version narrated by the author for this one and the next 2. I almost ended the series right there, and maybe I should have. But they're short, quick listens, so I figured I'd stick it out. For now. We'll see how it goes from here on. This book tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children, who despite being likeable, lead lives that are doomed. From the very beginning of this volume, when the children learn that a storm is gathering over a lake full of leeches, continuing on to the last page of this distressing story, disaster lurks around every corner. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

It's weird because I can't really say this book did anything very different from what the previous ones in the series did, but this time the whole book just... fits together. It's an extremely fun book.
The orphans are, as always, lovely to read and easy to enjoy as characters. You can really see how well they work as a loving, even though extremely unlucky, family. The other characters are amazing in their own ways as well: Mr Poe is an absolute idiot and a great personification of how authority figures that are sure they know better look for children like the Baudelaire. Aunt Josephine is a pathetic, and quite selfish, little creature that ends up being a great distinction from Uncle Monty from the previous book. And Count Olaf... Well, frankly, the less we say about someone like him, the better.
All in all, a great book that only hypes me more for the rest of the series yet to come. (
