mehsi's review against another edition

This was a really wonderful and funny book!
Still loving the Narrator, I really love the writing style and how he warns us, or interrupts a chapter to tell us why he didn't write it.
This book also had something else fun, the numbering for the chapters was backwards. So instead of starting with chapter 1 we started with a chapter number in the thirties. :)
The characters still had their ups and downs. I still don't like Max-Ernest that much (he is so annoying at times), but Cassandra is really improving and I really liked her in this book.
Also the book features a lot of answers, mysteries solved and pasts unravelled.
I will be sure to read book 3 soon. Since I really want to know more about the Secret, and about the Terces Society.

another good one, although this one felt pretty long to me. i didn’t feel the urge to pick it up as much as the first book for whatever reason. i did really love the backwards chapter numbers though.
i live for pseudonymous bosch’s interjections. i would also die for yo-yoji.

This book did not impress me as much as the first one. I am not sure why but I was definitely not as into this book. I would put it down and look at the next books on my list. I don't think that I will give up on this series, I am just not as enthusiastic about it as I was at the beginning.

Perfect for fans of Lemony Snicket. Bosch has a similar tone and style to Snicket, with a seemingly omniscient narrator who may or may not be reliable, but who is definitely funny. The children are clever and good-hearted, much like the Baudelaire's. I particularly liked the production value of this audio recording. The full cast and sound effects brought the experience to the next level.

I loved the fourth wall breaks and the full cast narration of the audiobook.
Moderate: Eating disorder
There is a chapter (it is in Amber's pov) that has the Skeleton sisters talking about not eating and being pigs and I'm just concerned that that could trigger someone with an unhealthy relationship with food.
