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.

Excellent book, fun story and very well written. Expertly adapted for the audio format. I could not think of anyone more perfect than Tim Curry to narrate this story.

My reasoning for the poor review is the voice over, it would be a lot better if it was only one voice and not multiple. The music and sounds In the back ground are distracting, and the actress that plays sunny does not do a very good job

Loved Tim Curry as a narrator was a perfect fit for this book. All the other speakers and music is just distracting and takes away from the story

Tim Curry amazing

I loved this book as a child and was so excited to listen to it. The story was great but the background noises were awful. Not what I am looking for in an audiobook.
