![]() ![]() Worthy to read, with some good quotes and moments, but not specially remarkable. The humor is still very good, with a few laughs and chuckles here and there. If there’s something that makes all the sadness bearable is the brief moments of happiness and the lovable new characters and this one didn’t deliver much of either. The orphans still resourceful as ever, Violet with her inventions, Klaus with his intellect, and Sunny with her mighty biting. Another nice addition to the series all around. ![]() Totally HATED Captain Sham, an utterly mischievous character, but civilized and charming, at least at the beginning, unlike the despicable Count Olaf of the first book, or the terrifying Stephano of the second, who were always mean from the start. LIKED dear Aunt Josephine enough, but sadly, even with all her quirky traits and being a grammar obsessed person myself, she’s no Justice Strauss, or Monty material. No endearing beginnings this time, this third book goes almost straight from bleakness to tragedy. A brief respite ensues, but not with much happiness Captain Sham, a brand new nemesis, swiftly appears on their doorstep, and calamity strikes, yet again. ![]() After leaving the Reptile House and uncle Monty behind, the Baudelaire orphans travel to Lake Lachrymose, to a secluded house on the top of a perilous cliff where they meet their new caretaker Aunt Josephine, a brave and fearless sweet old lady who loves grammar and is never afraid of anything, least of all realtors. ![]()
