This is the second book in the series I have read to my boys at bedtime. They are 9 and 10 years old, love the adventure, oddity of the characters, and the authors manner of explaining things. I will get another to read to them, for them, but it is not one I particularly love.

A fun reread, don't remember it being as comical though the word descriptions are somewhat repetitive

I'm currently rereading these books as a adult, and I'll be the first to admit, I'm hooked.

Snicket's narration style is as unique as it is enchanting.

Hot take but I always disliked this one and was genuinely surprised to see that this was some peoples' favorite book in the series.
