This was a fun time. Maybe I shouldn’t say fun, but it was. The mystery of what was going to happen was exciting. It kept me reading when I didn’t love certain parts of the writing. But even those parts I didn’t like, I see why they were in the book. For example, when Snicket describes words he uses and the repetition of a line, etc. I liked the narration too, where Snicket popped into the book too. Also, I loved Justice Strauss! She reminded me of Miss Honey from Matilda and I loved her as well.
