Perhaps the best yet of the Snicket tomes as the Baudelaire trio sees the loose ends of the mystery that is their lives come together at the Hotel Denouement. Much of it focuses on the thin demarcation between good and evil, a phrase which here means “tiny little barrier between thoughtful, clean, courteous youngsters and stupid, filthy and rude Count Olaf and his minions.”

So far my ranking is (read so far…) goes like this:
Book Eight, Book Two, Book Twelve, Book Five, Book Seven, Book Ten Book Six, Book Nine, Book Four, Book One, Book Three, Book Eleven.

Much, Much ,Much better than book eleven. I can’t wait for the final volume: Book The Thirteen – The End to come out.

The final Baudelaire book is due on Friday the 13th,
October 2006.

Justice is out, injustice is in. That’s why it’s called in justice.

This time when I read Lemony Snicket (a name which here means Daniel Handler) I wondered if he was doing NaNoWriMo when he wrote it. It seems to me that it seems to me that he might be injecting (by injecting I mean adding extra, unnecessary words) extra, unnecessary words in his sentences. But I like these books anyway.

I’m reading this to my daughter.
