The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12)

After any harrowing struggle, it is nice to consider checking into a hotel for a rest. In fact, this might be just the break Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire could use after their wearying deep-sea adventure.

A hotel can be a good choice for any family vacation. With so many floors, such a variety of rooms, and a curious array of guests, spending time in the safety of the right hotel can be the perfect learning environment for children of any age. A keen researcher like Klaus, an adept inventor like Violet, and a sharp-toothed culinary master like Sunny are all sure to find engaging diversions during their stay.

Regardless of how they pass their time while at a hotel, the three siblings will be sure to take in all the interesting sights and sounds -- and write them down -- just in case this episode turns out to be the darkest yet in a series of unfortunate events.

Amazing Book

This book by Lemony Snicket is one of the best books that he has written in this series, in my opinion. It has a good plot to it, it's not confusing or boring, and it's not very hard to read either. The plot is that three children are running from Count Olaf and end up getting a job at this hotel...

Twists are coming together

Ah, now nice! Our favorite little orphans-of-tragedy get to hang out with some rich relatives in a snobby apartment building! Snicket introduces a nice new landscape, more mystery, and some developments that are very nice shockers. Not the best of the series, but nice-enough pacing and a...

Complete fluff

Tons of filler in this book. Snicket brings back most of the characters for a courtroom showdown which means he takes every opportunity to use the following format:"It's a bird!""It's a plane!""It's a hook!""It's a book!""It's a rail!""It's a tail!"and on and on.And also to spend whole paragraphs...

The Penultimate Peril Review

The Penultimate Peril is one of the best books written by Lemony Snicket in the Series of Unfortunate Events. It is the second to last book in the Series of Unfortunate Events. The book starts up right where the last book left off. This book is the darkest of all, but it is still very funny...

The next to last peril wasn't as exciting as the next next to last peril was (book 11).

I liked the book. I thought that it was good, but it had way too many rambles from Lemony Snicket. It felt like I had been cheated out of a good book. Book 11 was good and had a lot of exciting and new information, but all book 12 does is give you an overview of the people the Baudelaires have...
