Not any worse than the other books but by this point the formula wears a little bit and unfortunately takes the sting out of things. On a positive note, this has some of the darkest (literally and figuratively) sequences of the entire series and I appreciated the fact children kept in dirty cages in pitch black underneath a city is something that made it into a kids book.
I wish this one did a bit more to progress the additional mysteries set up in #5 — it flounders quite a bit.
Enjoyed Esme quite a bit as I like comedic guardians, and her awfulness paired with the consumerism satire was playful and fun. Jerome I don't think was developed well enough for you to feel the sadness of his ineptitude.

I am currently listening to this entire series as audiobooks. I highly recommend them, they’re great to listen to.
This story may be my favorite in the series yet! From start to finish, it was big on mystery and I kept having to know what was going to happen next. I think Lemony Snicket is leading me one way just to knock me sideways. I really enjoy the obstacles that the Baudelaire orphans have to overcome in each story and their great character development. I love their really tight bond and faith in one another meanwhile the adults around them constantly let them down.
I really thought this series was pretty straightforward before going into it. A man was after these kid’s fortune and would stop at nothing to get it. I am completely surprised to learn there are so many more layers to these stories and that there are even more mysteries to be solved then I expected. Love it! Can’t wait to get into the next book.

This one is about the elite-est elite and does have a quite stereotypically racist character that could trigger people though knowing the context might explain why it is so terrible and necessary. I remember being vividly so terrified and worried at the elevator bit. I don’t remember much else than that. But it’s solid.
Interesting book. I didn't like it as much as the other books in the series though. But it was a nice read. So Violet, Klaus and Sunny are once again sent to live with a strange couple their parents used to know. But all they want to do is search for Duncan and Isadora Quagmire before Count Olaf can swindle them away to some unknown island.
Esme and Jerome Squalor are the Baudelaires' new guardians. Esme is a financial advisor who is obsessed with the latest trends. She's shallow and vain. Jerome isn't at all like his wife. He actually cares about the orphans.
In a sudden turn of events, Esme is uncovered to be in cahoots with Olaf who's disguised himself as Gunther. They plot to send the Quagmires to Lot #50 and keep them until they can get their hands on the family sapphires.
Like all the other books in the series, this one ended badly too. But I still liked the children's ingenuity and faith under dire circumstances.
