teeblees 's review for:
The Reptile Room
by Lemony Snicket
I really enjoyed this book!
I really loved the addition of the character of Uncle Monty. He was just so sweet and kind and exactly what this story needed.
I also love all of the foreshadowing and “dramatic irony”. That added a whole other element to this story that filled you with a sense of impending doom and trying to work out how we got there.
This book is already much darker in tone than the last book and I really enjoyed that. It really gets you engaged in the story and is so atmospheric.
Having said that, this book is still really humorous and made me literally laugh out loud many times (seriously, my mum was looking at me like I’d gone crazy). Snicket seems to effortlessly balance the humour and the dark nature of these books to create an exceptionally balanced and glorious tale.
