Reader Reviews:
A Great Ending To The Series (0/0 people found this helpful)
I had bought the first ten, and had the last 3 for christmas. I finished the three in about 2 weeks. The series had me gripped from the start, from the weird disguises of Count Olaf to the pointless descriptions and totally off the point paragraphs written by the extremely talented Lemony Snicket. An excellent series that I would recommend to anyone and everyone.
The End... (8/8 people found this helpful)
This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you read the last twelve books full of courageousness, you probably can't stand such unpleasantness as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents. This book doesn't completely finish of the series because at the end of `The End' there is the first chapter of `The Last' which continues the story even further. I think this book is the worst and least frightening or full of bad luck. They are stranded in the sea - they come onto an island, they are hungry and thirsty - they get nourished, they want to find out about their parents - they do. So as you can clearly see this book isn't too bad. And there is a very unusual twist to 'The End'.
A lot of people will be mad! Personally I liked it. (0/0 people found this helpful)
Those who expect to get a sense of closure after reading The End are in for a sad disappointment, as the book offers little to no answers.
However after reading the book myself, I think that the book works rather well, if not by being a conclusion to a series, then by fitting well with its own themes.
I'm divided as to whether or not this is a cowards exit, while at the same time offering something a bit different and less cliché than most endings or those where the solution of the darkest mysteries are sadly disappointing.
All in all, a good book as long as you don't expect any answers.
Thoroughly disappointing. (0/0 people found this helpful)
This book was terrible and quit boreing. I expected there to be at least a few answers to some of the questions in the earlier books but there were none. It didn't have a satisfying ending. It was like he ran out of ideas and just finished it. The earlier books were good but this one wasn't.
