3.5 stars, rounded up.

Similar to how I felt about Aunt Josephine in the second book, “The Wide Window,” Hector was rather annoying with how scared he was of the village elders. He was a nice man, but it was difficult to stand by and watch him act so cowardly despite being a fully grown man. 

When the Baudelaires needed him most, it was especially infuriating. Alas, it would not be “A Series of Unfortunate Events” if we didn’t have terrible adults.

The Baudelaire's now live in a village and Count Olaf is able to baffle all the citizens.
