About this listen
Critic reviews
"Goosebumps fans and readers who get Lemony Snicket's brand of humor will be rolling in the aisles." (Booklist)
"Readers who have graduated from Dav Pilkey's Captain Underpants or who know their Lemony Snickets, should love this first title in a new series. It's full of witty pokes at other series novels and Jasper's nutty inventions." (School Library Journal)

As funny as I remember!
I read this in second grade I think and it instantly became my favorite book ever. It may be a little more directed to 5th grade and up maybe but its family friendly regardless. Its has very bizarre and almost Gaiman-esque sense of humor. This book actually made me laugh still. Regardless how old you are just give it a try.

I loved it, until my son played it on repeat for the 1002nd millionth time.
It’s a quirky interesting book. I enjoyed the way it was written and recorded. Unfortunately my 12 year old loved it possibly more than I did. He played it so often I can repeat passages verbatim. I like the story, but not enough to hear it that often. I just purchased all of the recordings with these characters that I could in the hopes that he might listen to something ANYTHING else. Any parent of a frozen crazed child understands what I’m going through. Those first few bars of the syrupy sweet disneytastic “do you want to build a snowman?” Hit, the hair on the back of your neck snaps to attention as a crazed look fills your eyes and foam develops at the corners of your mouth. For the love of god if you buy this for your kid, invest in a fantastic set of earphones as well. Your sanity depends on it.
Book was great. Which I hadn’t heard it so many times.

Didn't like all the ads
Yes. There are lots of very long, boring ads for other books by the same author or publisher. It was really amazing. They were placed right in the middle of the story in 2-3 places. Just when something is about to happen to the main character the next second the narator is going on and on about 50 other books you could buy. We lowered the sound for about 10-15 minutes while they went on and on. As for the story, my 7 year-old boy liked it but lost interest during the ads. I would not reccomend it.
