La crítica que se hace en este libro de las condiciones laborales es muy meritoria. Aunque sea simple y deja entrever el problema de la amomia y la verticalidad.

También resulta interesante que se ponga en entredicho el optimismo exacerbado y el no confrontar. En los personajes unidimensionales de Phil y Charles se transparenta el sesgo impresionante que puede dejar la resignación.

Cuando los hermanos Baudelarie llegan al molino lo primero en lo que reparan es en el símbolo del Conde Olaf. Esta aversión aprendida los prepara sin querer a anticipar los eventos desafortunados y estar a la defensiva les posibilita escudriñar lo que hay detrás de la oftalmóloga o su familiar que sólo puede ser llamado "Señor".

En esta ocasión Klaus se aventura al campo de Violet y visceversa. La ruptura de su principal cualidad hacen del libro un grato viraje en tanto que despliega que los Baudelaire de hecho se desarrollan. Sin embargo, la insistencia que los libros siempre salvan el día o son intermediarios en él parece un truco marketero que un elemento narrativo natural.
dark sad fast-paced

Me siguen gustando los libros PERO NO PUEDO MAS CON LOS ADULTOS SON UNOS INUTILES!! OJALA VIOLET TE CLAVE UNA DENUNCIA ENORME CUANDO LLEGUE A LOS 18 MR. POE PORQUE TE LA MERECES!!!

By far the worst book of an amazing series. This time, my third time reading the series, I honestly wanted to skip it altogether. Glad I suffered through it at least but it was the most painfully boring book of the whole series. The ending just felt gimmicky and forced. Definitely, as the other reviewers have observed, a "filler" book.

This just reminded me of how terrified I was of Count Olaf as a child. I had this recurring nightmare that he would trap me and my sister on a series of never-ending trampolines, and when we look up he would be sitting on a platform, laughing maniacally. Anyway… this book was stressful. But fun! …I guess
