Dear Reader, If you have picked up this book with the hope of finding a simple and cheery tale, I’m afraid you have picked up the wrong book altogether. The story may seem cheery at first, when the Baudelaire children spend time in the company of some interesting reptiles and a giddy uncle, but don’t be fooled. If you know anything at all about the unlucky Baudelaire children, you already know that even pleasant events lead down the same road to misery.

This book is just as amazing as the first book in this series. 

This book is very short just as the first book, and I personally read it in one sitting and I loved every second of it as I did with the first book. And a part of me didn’t want this book to end because I’ve enjoyed it so much.

Before starting reading this book I had a fear that the series will go down in quality but the opposite happened. Because tis book is even better than the first book in this series which really made me love this series so much more.

The plot in this book is even better and more amazing than in the first book. There is more sadness and unfortunate events in this book. But there is also more schemes from Count Olaf which makes it more fun but at the same time more sad.

The character here are amazing. Violent, Klaus and Sunny are still the amazing characters as they were in the first book. Count Olaf is still up to his schemes. And we get a new character in this book which is Dr. Montgomery Montgomery which is a distant relative to Violent, Klaus and Sunny.

Dr. Montgomery Montgomery is the perfect guardian to the children but of course there is tragedy. Which is very sad, because after the kids receiving some happiness while living with Dr. Montgomery Montgomery, Count Olaf shows up and tragedy tricks the kids.

The writing style here is amazing. Because is easy and simple which means that it can be read by both children and adults. 

This series so far is very interesting, enjoyable and sad. And it doesn’t fail to capture your full attention and keep you reading until the last page. 

I Give This Book 5 / 5
