The Bad Beginning, A Multi-Voice Recording

A Series of Unfortunate Events #1

De: Lemony Snicket

Narrado por: Tim Curry

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Like a car alarm, bagpipe music, or a doorbell ringing in the middle of the night, hearing this audio edition of The Bad Beginning will only upset you. This unique multi-voice recording brings the first book in Lemony Snicket's alarming A Series of Unfortunate Events to such terrible life that no one should really have to experience it. Unless you have an ear for such ghastly details as a tragic fire, a nefarious villain, itchy clothing, and cold porridge for breakfast, all narrated in chilly detail by the distinguished, and disturbed, Tim Curry with a team of talented readers, you would be better off listening to something else.

Great book!

I read the series when I was a kid, and really enjoyed getting to relive it via audiobook. I wasn't a huge fan of the full cast, though. I think I prefer single-performer works. Tim Curry is an excellent narrator, and the story was just as good as I remembered!

Stellar performance; great for tweens and up.

This reading kept the attention of a very fidgety 10-year-old who "hates books", an almost 9-year-old who loves books, and a middle-aged parent for almost the entirety of what otherwise would have felt like a VERY long automobile trip. Thank you, Audible, Tim Curry and cast, and Lemony Snicket!

sound effects

not a huge fan of the theatrical recording, just like the books a whole lot, so I had to give this book 5 starts

A view of a 9 year old

I like the personality of the story you really feel for the Baudelaire its a good story full of adventuroe bravery and love

Great story, scary music

My 7-year-old son loved listening to this book. It is well-narrated and a good, literary tale. However, the music that accompanies the audiobook is pretty terrifying. He wasn’t able to listen to it at night. As long as you’re aware of that, we highly recommend.
