The Series of Unfortunate Events: Austere Academy
(2 reviews with an average rating of 4 out of 5)
Publisher: Farshore
The unfortunate Baudelaire children have been enrolled into Prufrock Preparatory School under the safe keeping of Vice Principal Nero and his advanced computer, to keep them safe from the evil, scheming Count Olaf who wants to get his greedy claws into their family fortune.
Unfortunately for the Baudelaire children Vice Principal Nero is a terrible violin player who subjects his students to six-hour violin recitals every day, the world’s most boring lessons and makes the orphans sleep in a crab-infested, fungus-ridden shack. Also he has employed the suspiciously turbaned Coach Genghis, the new sports teacher – but is he really who he says he is ...?
Another hilarious instalment in the exploits of the unfortunate Baudelaire children, narrated with Snicket’s trademark deadpan style.

I really liked this book. It is one of my favourites. I enjoyed all of the different twists within the story. The characters were all so different and interesting to read about. I would recommend this book to someone who doesn't get offended easily because there are some aspects of dark humour.
