holiday7's review against another edition

adventurous mysterious fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

As much as I think this book was good, it felt very boring at times + everyone was so unlikeable in this book (even the Baudelaire's).

Graphic: Body shaming, Fatphobia, and Transphobia

The portrayal of one of Count Olaf's allies is very fatphobic and transphobic. The book connects being evil with being fat and/or androgynous. At one point, the Baudelaire's and the narrator refer to this character with the pronoun "it."
