Summary: Sadness Reigns
Comment: Can you find a more sad tale than this one? This is the saddest story out of all the ones I've read so far. The children, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny are still trying to survive Count Olaf terror.
These children must endure a self serving Vice Principal that loves to play the violin. They must put up with a bratty little girl that calls them names, and teachers that teach nothing. They have to run all night long, and their living conditions are terrible. They have to live with crabs, fungus, and a terrible paint job. But with all the negative, there is a ray of light in this story. Two rays of light. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find friends that go out of their way to help them as much as they can.
Unfortunately, their friends are kidnapped in the end, and of course, the adults in this story are useless and hopeless. Will they ever have any luck? Not according to Lemony Snicket.
Overall, this is a really good book in the series. It made me feel so bad for them, and it left questions in my mind. I recommend this book for all of its genius, sadness, and its bit of 'mystery.'
Joy.

Summary: HUGE hole in book
Comment: This book is the biggest in the series to recieve the Lemony Snicket formula. The formula? 1. Put the children in a hapless situation. 2. Throw in a couple of really really mean adults. 3. Give them friends that disappear by the end of the book.
4. Finally, make the really mean adults restrict just about everything they want to do.
Lemony Snicket writes based on situation and not much else. Boo!
