The Penultimate Peril (0/0 people found this helpful)
A great book and great price. Would recommend the series to any kid over 7. My daughter has devoured the whole series. It's way better than the film....
Hotel horror! (0/0 people found this helpful)
Probably the next-to-last things you would like to read about are a harpoon gun, a rooftop sunbathing salon, two mysterious initials, three unidentified triplets, a notorious villain, and an unsavoury curry and the last thing you would want to do is experience these things. Since you do not want to know how it feels, you can feel sorry for the three children, the Baudelaire orphans, in the book which I am reviewing, who do know how it feels. This book is rather frightening but still is rather fantastic though very upsetting. The rating I would give this book is a disturbing 7/ 10.
As good as ever (0/3 people found this helpful)
Good book.I've read every single book that Lemony Snicket has ever written.This one was just as good as all the rest.He's one of my favourite authors.Is it true that his real name is Daniel Handler? My friend told me it is.But i don't know if i should believe her.Please tell me.Thanks!
Penultimate Peril (4/11 people found this helpful)
When I was little my sister read them and I really wanted to read them, but I didn't understand them. So, now I got the chance to read them all - except from the last one. I thought the first and the second one were a bit sad and from the fourth right up to the seventh book it was a bit boring, because Mr Poe kept on rescuing them at the end of the book. I especially liked the Hostile Hospital and the Penultimate Peril. The most thrilling part was in the Hostile Hospital, when Count Olaf wanted to saw off Violet's head!
Lovely lovely (5/11 people found this helpful)
I thought this book was a return to form - and have never skipped a page in my life! The beauty of these books isn't the story, it's the prose.
