I love the witty, dark humor of Lemony Snicket. I also find the author's word choice, subtlety, and play on words to be intriguing. This book, however, was not for me. The plot seemed to move forward too slowly. I had a hard time picturing my students enjoying this one. I'll continue to steer kids towards the Unfortunate Events Series.

A brilliant new installment by " Lemony Snicket ". It was a good book with mysteries galore. There were times when you were so wrapped up in the mystery, that I forgot about the world! A must read for mystery lovers!

This is such a good mystery. You just want to keep reading it. It is so mysterious. I also love this author. His other series, Series of Unfortunate Events in my favorite series of all time.

This book has many mysteries that young Lemony Snicket must solve. The author does a good job at discribing the places he goes to. I would recommend this to anyone that wants to read a good book.
