This book makes you feel sympathy for Luca and Francesca due to their mother being quite ill.
In this novel there is a some amounts of swearing in it or innapropriate language.Althought Luca does not swear in the book, many other older characters do. Luca is 10 years old. He is very cute and smart and supposibly has the voice of an angel.

Movie Review- A Series of Unfortuate Events
Everybody in the whole wide world wants a loving family who supports them through everything. But as this movie explains, not everyone feels the same ways as others… Three orphans been left with no mother or father but each other. Having to venture into the whole wide world by themsleves with people after their them. Twists that have you on the edge of your seat, murders and tradgic deaths never been heard of before. It all begins with Lemony Snickets movie ” A Series of Unfortunate events.”
And so the tale unfolds with the orphans carer Mr Poe signing an agreement for the Baudelaire orphans staying with a man, and an evail man at that. Trying to take away the orphans huge fortune their parents left behind. And this is where the adventure begins.
The film closely follows the tradgic ending with the three young actors been put in the spotlight to act as orphans who lost their beloved parents in a tradgic house fire and having to stick together throught all the hard times they are having together.
The film makes you feel sympathy when evil scemes like none others are hatched to get the Bauldelaire orphans fortune! But at the same time you feel anger for the man who is trying to take away every little thing the orphans have left.
I found the film very interesting. When watching this movie it shows how much i have in my life compared to the three actors on the screen. This movie made me realise that i would rather have my family with no fortune the NO family with a fortune!
