One of my favorite "A Series of Unfortunate Events" novels. Such a beautiful display of the Baudelaire's love for one another. Their clever skills are unmatched and always fun to read about. Also, I realize that Aunt Josephine is a very interesting character now that I am re-reading the series; with an older eye I recognize all of the dark undertones Snicket incorporated into her character and I really appreciate this.

THIS BOOK HAD AMAZING STORYTELLING HOLY. The way the author made Josephine’s letter into clue for Klaus to decode, that was smart and quite original. I loved Klaus’ character in this one and Sunny was more helpful. I was also intrigued with the aunt’s backstory and was sad we couldn’t get to see more of her.
