Count Olaf is really not Jim Carrey's Count Olaf, which is really neither here nor there, but it's not like I'm going to critically review a kids book as if it were written for adults. I can imagine my 10 year old self would have thought this a 5 star book, so well done. ( ) The Beauledaire children Violent, Klaus and Sonny are orphaned when their parents are killed in a house fire. The children are sent to live with a distant relative, Count Olaf, a money-hungry theater performer who connives to get his hands on the fortune. Children’s book but interesting world-building I have no idea why this book/series is so popular. I can see, sort of, why children may love it. Many of the books I loved as a kid were no better, and this has brave, clever orphans (boy AND girl), a cute baby sister, mean ugly villains, disbelieving adults, and a horrible house. The only thing it’s missing is a dog. But this just doesn’t seem well-written to me. The characters are just caricatures. There’s nothing especially clever about the setup or the world the characters are placed in. There are none of the clever observations about human nature or winking humor or enjoyably silly word games that made Rowling’s books so appealing. I suppose some might find the little asides (by the way, that word means _______) funny and were obviously meant in jest, but I found them annoying. And the forced marriage device plot involving a 14 year old child, with the adult characters’ innuendos about how pretty she is and about the marriage night, was just plain disturbing, not to mention the implication that marriage, once committed to, even under duress, is a lifetime trap. Hardcover version, picked up at a church rummage sale. I ought to put it in the library donation box, but I'm honestly considering dropping it in the recycle bin instead. I read this for the 2018 Halloween Bingo square Thirteen: any book that relates to bad luck, superstitions, including (but not limited to) black cats, ravens or crows, or the unlucky number 13, either in the title, series, book cover or page count.

"Die boek vertel van die drie Baudelaire-kinders, Violetta, Klaus en die baba Sonneblom. Violetta is 'n uitvinder, Klaus is dol op lees. En hoewel hy maar 12 is, het hy al meer boeke gelees as baie mense in 'n leeftyd. Sonneblom is 'n peuter, sy praat brabbeltaal en byt baie graag met haar besonder skerp tande. Dit is drie oopkop, wakker en intelligente kinders. In Die bose begin - boek een begin hul teëspoed toe 'n enorme brand hul welgestelde ouers se herehuis verteer, en hul ouers daarmee saam. Vir die kinders was dit die bose begin van vele ongelukkige wedervarings. Ná die brand word hulle gestuur om by 'n veraf verwante familielid, hertog Olaf, te gaan woon, net om uit te vind dat hy beplan om hulle dood te maak sodat hy sy hand op hul fortuin kan lê. Olaf is die leier van 'n toneelgeselskap en sy mede-akteurs en aktrises is altyd bereid om hom met sy bose planne by te staan. Hulle is 'n skrikwekkende klomp. Daar is een met 'n kaalkop en 'n lang neus wat altyd 'n swart manel dra. Daar is twee vroumense met spierwit poeier op hul gesigte, hulle is die superblekes. Daar is 'n reusagtige een wat nie na 'n man of vrou lyk nie, die kinders het hom tannie Oom gedoop. Les bes is daar ou kromklou, die skrikwekkendste van almal, 'n man met twee hake in plaas van hande. Gaan Olaf se planne misluk of slaag?" Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
