The Reptile Room, the second installment in Lemony Snicket's "A Series of Unfortunate Events," continues the tragic tale of the Baudelaire orphans, whose lives are marked by a string of misfortunes.
One aspect that stands out to me is the bond between the Baudelaire siblings. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny love and care for each other in a way that feels genuine and endearing. They find comfort in their shared moments, this sense of family is the heart of the story, and it’s beautiful to see them hold on to each other despite everything.
Although we're all aware that this is A Series of Unfortunate Events, I can't help wishing that something will work out in the kids favour! Snicket consistently reminds us that life doesn't always go according to plan, that justice isn't always served, and that good doesn't always triumph over evil-such a different take on the usual way of Children's books. The desire to see the kids catch a break is strong, as is the frustration when things inevitably take a turn for the worse. I want to get to the end of this series just to see how it all wraps up.

started off slow, but then made up for it!
I don't know which one is sadder, losing someone nice you thought you'd live a happy life together, or being killed for nothing.
The author had warn us, yet still it's so tense. If I have to pick one character I dislike the most, it'll be Mr. Poe. And as an adult, I want to apologize on his behalf (lol).
We tend to ignore things we think trivial, turns out it's crucial. I hope Mr. Poe's behavior can be a reminder for me.
Try to see the bigger picture.
Being respected doesn't mean being treated first, and highly.
Being suspicious is not always wrong.
Listen to kids more. Sometime they know better than you.
Never lose your childish part. Keep the curiosity alive.
