“The Penultimate Peril” By Lemony Snicket Review

Dear Reader, If this is the first book you found while searching for a book to read next, then the first thing you should know is that this next-to-last book is what you should put down first. Sadly, this book presents the next-to-last chronicle of the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, and it is next-to-first in its supply of misery, despair, and unpleasantness.

This book is the 12th book in the “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series. Which really makes me sad because it means that there is only one book left in this series. 

The action in this book is very very very high. There is a lot of happening. Because all the bad people Violet, Klaus and Sunny met since book one makes an return in this book. And oh boy, this book does really hit another level of sadness. 

Violet, Klaus and Sunny has to join forces with Count Olaf to escape the hotel which this book takes place. Because there is an angry mob after Violet, Klaus, Sunny and Count Olaf. 

Count Olaf in this book break up with Esmé Squalor and he leaves behind her and that little brat Carmelita Spats. Let’s hope that we won’t see these two insufferable characters in the last book in this amazing series. 

In this book the plot is very thick and heavy. Because finally in this book Violet, Klaus and Sunny mets someone from the VFD and they are even put to do a special mission for them to take down Count Olaf. But of course as you might expect the mission doesn’t go along the plan. 

Violet, Klas and Sunny feels like an adult even thou 2 of them are teens and Sunny is a baby. That’s just shows the character development and all the things they have been through since the first book. 

To be fully honest here, this book is the most complex book in this series so far. And I need to say that this book might be my favourite book in this series but we still have one book to go in this series so a lot of things might change in that time.

I Give This Book 5 / 5
