Series of Unfortunate Events - The Audio Books

This is a great but slightly scary category, but never the less a lot of fun to listen to:

Series of Unfortunate Events #1 - The Bad Beginning

Author : Lemony Snicket

Full Cast Production

Published By : Harper Collins US

2 hours 30 minutes

Type : Over 10s
Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Magic

Avoid listening to this new multi-voice recording of the book that started it all!

Like a car alarm, bagpipe music, or a doorbell ringing in the middle of the night, hearing this all-new 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.

Customer comments about these childrens audio books:

All of a Kind Family (The first in the series of heartwarming children's tales from turn of the 20th century New York)

"this is a wonderful book, from the excitment, to the fact that this is a non fiction story and every little thing makes it that much better. I recomed this book to be read aloud from ages 5-7 and from ages 8 and up should read it by them selfs. you can read this siries 100s of times and it never gets old" -Laura Hollander from Brooklyn

Paraworld Zero
(Harry Potter meets Star Wars)
"I devour everything Harry Potter, so when I heard the phrase “Harry Potter meets Star Wars” I had to pick this one up. Paraworld Zero is not your typical Harry Potter-like book. The story has a lot of science fiction and fantasy in it, so I guess you could call it “Harry Potter in space,” though space is not really the word for it. The characters travel through a thing called the parastream, which is like a special form of outer space that allows you to move quickly from parallel world to parallel world. The idea is intriguing, and the author makes it simple to understand. Simon Kent is now my favorite 12-year-old magician. He gets into the most precarious situations. Oh, and the narration was top-notch." - Joshua Green from USA
