A review by ceceewing_
The Wide Window by Lemony Snicket
3.0
*3.5/5
Once again, super enjoyable ride. It is interesting to now be reading these as I'm watching the show. I am not watching episodes until after I have finished the book, but I'm curious if my visual of the characters is changing as I watch the show. Just a thought.
I love how in this book, like the last, we get to see the Baudelaires growing into more intelligent and self-reliant people. Obviously they are still very naive in a lot of ways, being so young, but I love the way their relationship with each other develops over time so much within the series as a whole and it is fun to see that from closer to the beginning of the books. Captain Sham is, of course, ridiculous. But I love it.
Oh! And I really like the fact that this book starts to show the more angry, bitter side of these kids at times. They have every right to those emotions, and I think their more look-on-the-brightside outlook cracking every now and then is such a nice and realistic touch. Just a little bit of character development I appreciate. Now onto the last reread! I'll continue with the rest later, but I wanted to focus on covering the books that the show would handle for now.
