Just a warning, I'm going to start a lot my review for A Series of Unfortunate Event with "character _______ was my favourite and I'm so sad that they're dead". Also, that I'm not going to stagger my catch up posts because I can't be bothered and I think I'm less likely to write my next review if I have things queued.
I feel like I can honestly, or not so honestly as the case may be, say that Uncle Monty is one of my favourite guardians of the Baudelaire children. He seems to genuinely care about the well being of the Baudelaires and believe them when they say people are evil.
Again, in this novel, Mr. Poe plays almost more of a villain than Count Olaf himself. His blindness towards the truth that the orphans say is discouraging to say the least and disturbing to say the most, especially in the later books.
The Reptile Room is one of my favourite novels in the series. I find that Uncle Monty is a particularly well rounded and well developed guardian, or at least more so than some of the other figures that appear in the books, like Justice Strauss and Mr. Poe who are both quite flat.
I give The Reptile Room 10/10. It's an excellent read and I highly recommend it!
