The Reptile Room

A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 2

De: Lemony Snicket

Narrado por: Tim Curry

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky.

In the first two books alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, a lumpy bed, a deadly serpent, a large brass reading lamp, a long knife, and a terrible odor.

In the tradition of great storytellers, from Dickens to Dahl, comes an exquisitely dark comedy that is both literary and irreverent, hilarious and deftly crafted. Never before has a tale of three likeable and unfortunate children been quite so enchanting, or quite so uproariously unhappy.

Over 5 stars!

Such a great book! I recommend the series to everyone and the narration is great. Also watch, the series on Netflix.

One Man Show

Really enjoyed the story, would like multiple voices performing again and a better Violet one.

Clever Writing

These books are fantastic, and Tim Curry is wonderful as the narrator. I recommend them to everyone.

Wicked Fun

Loved book 2 in this series. I love how the story starts so happily and quickly turns dark. The children can tell Count Olaf is up to his old tricks, but the other characters have blinders on. Loved how Sunny's character develops and hearing her say real words. Such a fun relationship between Sunny and the Incredibly Deadly Viper. Looking forward to book 3!

get rid of the coughing sound! ugh!!!!

the performance is incredible, story is so well written, but the hacking cough the narrator chooses to do each time Mr. Poe coughs is so awful to listen to and happens far too often

L0L

Mr. Po’s all purpose answer call the police
The children’s all purpose answer let’s do it ourselves

Great story made better by Tim Curry's narration!

I've always loved Tim Curry as a performer. This was a real treat to get to have him read to me! He really brought everyone to life....very glad I got these books!

Excellent

This series is a perfect road trip listen, for children and adults alike! Tim Curry reads Lemony Snicket fabulously, giving wonderful personality to the characters and cadence to the story. Highly recommend.

Loving the miserable dreary Lemony Snicket

We are really miserably enjoying the dreary unfortunate series of adventures. I prefer the full cast and sound effects of the first in the series but still really enjoy Tim Curry's performance as narrator Lemony Snicket.

Brilliant

A wonderful, brilliantly annoying book in the Series of Unfortunate Events. Lemony Snicket weaves the reptilian creatures into the plot line and Tim Curry does a wonderful job with the narration. I recommend this Audible yet start the series from the beginning; it’ll be more fun this way.
