“If you have ever had a miserable experience, then you have probably had it said to you that you would feel better in the morning. This, of course, is utter nonsense, because a miserable experience remains a miserable experience even on the loveliest of morning.”
The Miserable Mill was the first book in the series that isn't a re-read. I found that it didn't live up to the first three books but was still an enjoyable, quick read nevertheless. I'm really wondering if Count Olaf is in every book.

Dobra mam problem. Znowu zly jest niepenosprawny - chodzi o lasce. Ale kurde poza tym to najlepsza czesc! Czy mozna znalezc miejsce do ktorego mniej pasuja dzieci niz tartak? Potem kazac im tam pracowac, placic kuponami i dawac do jedzenia gume do zucia? No nie da sie. Hrabia olaf jest coraz zabawniejszy, poziom absurdu szalony, no bawilam sie najlepiej. A audiobooki do tej serii sa swietne (chociaz wole te czytane przez tima curryiego) a piosenki magnetic fields 10/10)

Definitely not my favorite in A Series of Unfortunate Events. In this book, you can see Lemony Snicket/Daniel Handler trying to flip the formula of the past three books by having Klaus invent something and Violet research something. It doesn't make it feel new or fresh, though.
This book is one of the most unbelievable, in my opinion. The hypnotism plus the adults' inability to recognize Count Olaf dressed in women's clothing is just a tad ridiculous. Also, what kind of banker/caretaker would think it's a good idea to put a bunch of children up in a mill? What happened to them needing to stay with relatives? There was no explanation of Sir being any kind of relative.
Sir, however, is an intriguing character. It's the tip of the iceberg with the quirkiness of this series. A man with a cloud of smoke for a head? Do go on. It makes me yearn for more depth. I'm hoping I'll find it as I continue this reread!
