This book....was far more ridiculous than the previous three. I did like the plot discussion in this one more than the last one. But, there were several things that felt way too cartoony or silly? Which wasn't the tone set up strongly in book one. (Like, how does a piece of gum pull a tree sized log off a machine? Or having a sword slash teeth fight with an infant??? Idk.) 

Hanging on because I want to see the series through and they're at least comical and easy to read. 

Also, all the adults in this world are always so infuriatingly naive and stupid. Please just believe the kids for once.

This is such a strange installment in the series. The new characters are so odd and annoying, and Count Olaf's presence is almost nonexistent? And the hypnotism thing feels so out of place. Not really my thing.
