The 13-book series of “Unfortunate Events” books was written by Lemony Snicket (the pen name of American author Daniel Handler). The books follow the lives of the three Baudelaire orphans – Violet, Klaus, and Sunny – who are constantly hounded by the evil Count Olaf, who is determined to steal their fortune.
The series has been enormously popular, selling over 65 million copies worldwide. It has also been adapted into a 2004 film and a 2017 Netflix television series.
The End of the Series
The end of the series. There are thirteen books in the Series of Unfortunate Events, and this is the last one.
New Movie Adaptation
The new Netflix series of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events is based on the novels of the same name, which were written by Daniel Handler (under the pen name Lemony Snicket). The books follow the story of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, three orphans who are constantly thwarted in their efforts to escape the clutches of the evil Count Olaf, who is intent on stealing their fortune.
The series consists of thirteen books in total, which were published between 1999 and 2006. The first four books were adapted into a 2004 feature film starring Jim Carrey as Count Olaf, but this was not a commercial or critical success. Netflix’s new adaptation is being released as a television series, with Neil Patrick Harris taking on the role of Count Olaf.
What Happens in the New Movie?
The new movie entails the story of the three Baudelaire children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, who are orphaned after a mysterious fire kills their parents. The children are then placed into the care of their distant relative Count Olaf, who is only interested in their large inheritance. As Olaf schems to steal their fortune, the siblings must outwit him at every turn to prevent him from getting his hands on their money. Along the way, they discover dark secrets about their family’s past that they never could have imagined.

The Series of Unfortunate Events is a series of thirteen children’s novels by Lemony Snicket, the pen name of American author Daniel Handler. The books follow the turbulent lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire after their parents’ death in a fire. The children are placed in the custody of Count Olaf, an actor who is determined to steal their fortune.

The books have sold more than 60 million copies and have been translated into 41 languages.
The End of the Series
In 2006, Handler announced that the series would conclude with book thirteen, The End. He has stated that he felt it was time to end the series, as he had planned it from the beginning and did not want to “stretch it out just for the sake of commercial gain.”
The End was published on October 13, 2006, and like its predecessors, met with critical acclaim. In a departure from the previous twelve books, The End is told mainly from the point of view of Kit Snicket, Lemony Snicket’s younger sister. It chronicles the Baudelaire orphans’ coming of age as they confront moved into puberty and impending adulthood, while also making an effort to stop Count Olaf once and for all.
The book also features flashbacks from different characters’ pasts, including Esmé Squalor’s life before she met Count Olaf and Jerome Squalor’s first meeting with his wife Eudora.
New Movie Adaptation
The popular book series written by Lemony Snicket (a pseudonym for American author Daniel Handler) is being adapted into a movie set to release in 2017. The books were originally published between 1999 and 2006 and tell the story of three orphaned siblings, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire, who are constantly hounded by the evil Count Olaf, as they try to uncover the mystery surrounding the death of their parents.
The series comprised of thirteen books in total, though there have been rumors of a fourteenth book- perhaps Lemony Snicket is just good at keeping secrets. Each book in the series is cleverly titled after a different literary device used within its pages. The titles are as follows:
The Bad Beginning
The Reptile Room
The Wide Window
The Miserable Mill
The Austere Academy
The Ersatz Elevator
The Vile Village
The Hostile Hospital
The Carnivorous Carnival
The Slippery Slope
The Grim Grotto
The Penultimate Peril
