I'm sorry to tell you this, but that's 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. If you are interested in stories with happy endings, you would be better off reading some other book. The disclaimer debuts on the first page of the first chapter of the first book in a passage which just may become every bit as classic as Tolstoy's take on unhappy families:

No reader of Lemony Snicket expects a happy ending, because each and every book in the series takes great pains to explain that Snicket will not provide one.

Nickelodeon has optioned the movie rights for the series (which, if all goes according to Snicket's plan, will result in "a live-action, mock Gothic, dismal musical.") His readings - at bookstores, schools and libraries - are frequently mobbed by children, their parents and the stray teen Gothette (he has already been interviewed for a Goth zine, and received a very long fan letter from a Goth teenage girl written on orange construction paper), all craning for a look at the new hero of the unhappy ending. When the New York Times Book Review introduced its new bestseller list for children's books, Snicket debuted at 15 now all five of his books have made the top 25. (And in Italy and Germany and soon to be in Denmark, Norway, England, Israel and Japan.) His name is often mentioned in those roundups by newspaper writers speculating about the identity of the next wizard to dominate the bestseller list. Lemony Snicket is a big star in the United States as well.

Snicket is to autograph each one for eventual distribution to all the children in Canada who simply must have an autographed copy of "A Series of Unfortunate Events," Snicket's mock-Gothic serial novels for children, which now number five, but will number a very unlucky 13 when the series has been completed. Apparently he didn't sign enough books to go around because the bookstore has sent along a stack of 600 Lemony Snicket bookplates, each wreathed in sinister-looking vines with thorns. At his last reading in a Canadian children's bookstore he was held captive, made to sign books for nearly five hours. The autographs are not for patrons of the cafe, but for children in Canada.
He is not wearing a suit or a trench coat, but a red satin bowling shirt dotted with black velvet devils. Today, however, Lemony Snicket sits in a San Francisco cafe signing autographs. Readers who know of his doomed love affair with a woman identified only as Beatrice must imagine that it is she he seeks in his partially obscured window gazing, distant meanderings and walks in the snow. Lemony Snicket is only photographed in shadow, usually in a suit, sometimes in a trench coat, often striding away from the camera or turned away from the viewer, maybe gazing out a window.
