Lemony Snicket

The Baudelaire orphans disguise themselves as employees of the Hotel Denoument and find themselves pursued by the evil Count Olaf and others.

The Penultimate Peril

While very little has been revealed about this next to last title in the SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTS series, this book does have things getting much worse, an evil Count Olaf, and the Baudelair Orphans losing a contest.

The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events #12)

The books have become repetitive in the last few installments, but this one broke the mold and genuinely surprised me at points. I loved the convergence of a bunch of characters we’ve encountered in the past and am curious as to how this all wraps up since I never made it this far as a kid.

Actual rating: 3.5 stars. So much happened in this book that was exciting but a lot of it was just repetition.

Estoy cansada de estos libros, por eso nunca leo sagas tan largas.

This is definelty my favourite in the series (so far). I think this book is just so action packed and doesn't have a dull moment. The previous eleven books really come together in this book. Literally as a lot of the previous characters show up again but also figuratively because all the things the Baudelaire's learned over those books come in to use in this book. I liked the direction this book took the story in, especially when it came to the ending. It all just came to an interesting end and really raised a lot of moral questions. I just want to get to the final book in this series already and figure out all the mysteries left.

This was definitely my least favorite book in the saga.

I have absolutely no idea why I rated this 2 stars before when it's definitely more of a 3.5.

This is the 12th book in Lemony Snicket's 'Series of Unfortunate Events'.

Such a good book! I can't wait until I can finally read the last book!

3.75* another fun addition to the series. I really enjoyed all characters that returned in this and the fact that the Baudelaire's somewhat had more people on their side! I can't wait to see how this all wraps up in the end. I'm just hoping (although doubting) all my question will finally be answered...

This story is just great. I love how the Baudelaires keep on struggling to find the difference between right and wrong, and why everyone has reasons for doing what they do.

With 5 million copies sold in the UK alone, one might consider Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events to make him one of the most successful children’s authors of the past decade. We, however, consider these miserable so-called adventure stories and the Hollywood film starring Jim Carrey that accompanied the books for children as nothing more than a dreadful mistake.
