Their misfortune began one day at Briny Beach. I'm sorry to tell you this, but that is how the story goes. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire were intelligent children, and they were charming, and resourceful, and had pleasant facial features, but they were extremely unlucky, and most everything that happened to them was rife with misfortune, misery, and despair. This is because not very many happy things happened in the lives of the three Baudelaire youngsters. In this book, not only is there no happy ending, there is no happy beginning and very few happy things in the middle.
