Mr. Snicket says it best himself:

This book is about bewilderment, a word which here means "the feeling of being bewildered," and "bewildered" is a word which here means "you don't have any idea what is happening," and "you" is a word which doesn't just mean you. It means everyone.

This is dark in Snicket's famously lighthearted way. Surprisingly philosophical but also had me chuckling at times.

BONUS NOTE: it's narrated by the ever-fabulous Patrick Warburton (Kronk) if you're considering the audio format. I quite enjoyed the little illustrations and intentional typesetting in select sections.
