Though this book was very anticipated, it doesn't meet certain expectations and in my opinion, not really the best of the series.
I think Violet's inventions in this book weren't very fascinating as in the other books... or Klaus' researchings... and I didn't like the fact that Sunny and the elder Baudelaires were separated so much of the time. Definitely not one of the best...
But still, it is Lemony Snicket.
I read this book in a hour and my head was spinning after it. First someone the orphans hoped never to see again returns (No, it's not Count Olaf, though of course, he's still there.) Then a surprisng survivor of the fire... very shocking indeed. Additionally, 2 new VERY mysterious characters... and "the last safe place."
SO MUCH of V.F.D's secrets are revealed in this book, but not all of them.
