The Hostile Hospital feels very much like a middle book, unlike many of the other books in the series.
Somehow the Orphans being alone makes the whole thing seem more hopeless and depressing than when they were under the care of incompetent guardians; at least then they had someone else to look out for them. This book, like all the others, highlights the ingenuity of the three siblings. Yet, for all their cunning, they seem no closer to finding out what V.F.D. stands for. Soon.
I rate this book 7 out of 10. It was good and exciting but not at the top of Snickers game. Highly recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a good mystery. Mr. Snicket has hidden some easter eggs within the novel for the more mature reader, so don't worry about age when contemplating picking up this book.
