I enjoyed the last book in this series and was sad to see the series come to an end

2017 Edit
In the span of three months, I re-read this wonderful series by listening to the audiobooks, and I am so glad I did! I LOVED the audiobooks, perhaps even more than I loved the hard copy of these books.

This series is seriously suberb! Daniel Handler had a wonderful idea with his Lemony Snicket character and to carry on an entire series and then some (with his new series where we get to see Lemony as the ma ...more

I found this book to be a huge disappointment. Granted he told us all through the series that it would be a disappointment, but did he have to do such a great job of it. The End tanked for me.

Shelves: bwob, fav-authors, own, ir, children, series

I read this book when it first came out, but I read it so fast that I honestly didn't remember it very much. Re-reading it I noticed things that I wouldn't have at that time. Like how one of the castaways is named Ariel who is a prisoner who recently escaped from an island where she disguised herself as a young man (think The Tempest). Or the whole question of a moral compass and if the saying "that depends on how you look at it" actually has any meaning. The story, while not happy, is a satisfy ...more
