So what if it's formulaic. It's still great fun! What a pleasure reading this series so far. I wish I had done so before now. But hey, now I don't have to wait 6 or more months before each one comes out.

The humour Snicket instills in his stories of misfortune and tragedy is endearing and satisfying to me. Nearly every other page reveals his talent for stating things in a memorably quirky way that draws laughs in stories of frustrating characters.

The action did pick up a bit more in this book. There was that suspenseful scene where the children and Aunt Josephine (in their sailboat) are succumbing to the Lachrymose Leeches in the Lake.

Well, on to #4 soon!
