*DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS*

this series never gets any futher - you still dont know 100% what VFD stands for, how olaf knew their parents, who killed their parents (although it obvisous its olaf, they still gavnt confirmed it) you dont know what the 'sugar bowl' is and snicket just keep dragging each book on and on. The one thing i hate about these books is when snicket says a word and then sits there for 2 pages talking about what the word means :S what the hell????

This book was incredibly boring and had the most stupidest plot; after lots of farting around the kids discover that the twins are a fountain, they save them and they escape but the kids dont get to go with them. Again Olaf escapes and the baudelaires run away as to not get caught by the police as they are now wanted for the murder of Jacques; lemony snickets brother (who olaf actually killed and took his identity).
