Ah yes, the third book. As you all well know I am a huge fan of Snicket and his writing and I did really enjoy reading this book. Like most of his other novels I found that it flowed fast and kept you guessing for the majority of the novel. With his witty insights and cool quotations it's a fun read for someone of any age.
That being said the struggle of the third book is very real. After having firmly established the characters and setting up the end of a series always does weird things to a novel. The suspense is at it's peek, but there always seems like there's something missing from the novel, like the suspense is missing something else to it.
Regardless of my thoughts on the third-bookishness of this novel I still really enjoyed reading it. It makes a nice change from more serious novels and philosophy books. I give it a solid 9 out of 10.
