And now things are poised to get much worse, thanks to the new Netflix series starring Neil Patrick Harris. Despite their wretched contents, 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' has sold 60 million copies worldwide and been made into a Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey.

In The Bad Beginning, the siblings encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune and cold porridge for breakfast. Unfortunately, they are exceptionally unlucky. They are charming, and resourceful, and have pleasant facial features. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire are intelligent children. But if you insist on discovering the unpleasant adventures of the Baudelaire orphans, then proceed with caution. You still have time to choose another international best-selling series to read.
