I think this is my favorite of the series so far! (although The Reptile Room is a close runner-up) I am so glad that these don't stick with the same recycled plot over and over, and that there is, in fact, an ongoing story line. Like in The Miserable Mill, there are some real problems with trying to imagine the time it takes to complete tasks, but it is a very enjoyable and fun read. I loved the ongoing joke of things being "in" or "out" and I never got tired of it. I just really enjoyed this book overall.
no hay mucha diferencia con los anteriores libros, ya está algo repetitivo y cansado.
fast-paced
This is pretty much the only one of A Series of Unfortunate Event book that comes after the first three that I could a) remember, and b) remember enjoying.
I am not sure what exactly it is about this book that makes me, well, laugh. Whether it is the ridiculous list of things that can be in or out (and the extraordinary lengths taken to ruin your life in pursuit of this perfect 'in'lifestyle.) I don't know if it is the clever names (Squalor for a couple who live in an immaculate palatial penthouse, or Café Salmonella for a celebrated restaurant.) Whether it is the idea that everyone in the book wears pin stripe suits.
I don't know what it is about this, but it just sits at a higher level than many of the others. It's clever, it works as a premise despite who ridiculous it is, and it is enjoyable. The lighter moments make for a present break from the heavy drab lives of the Baudelaire's!

Another fun, super quick read by the ever entertaining Lemony Snicket. I loved these books as a kid, and even though I don't quite love them as much now, they're still very interesting, well written books and I think this is a series everyone can enjoy.
