Book Description
Dear Reader,
You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope.
This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries 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.
It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so the end does not finish you.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket
The New York Times
The End may not reach the comic highs of, say, The Austere Academy (wherein the infant Sunny, unable to form sentences, was forced to work as an administrative assistant). But it뭩 more suspenseful than the other books, largely because we want to know if the vile Olaf will finally get his comeuppance, and whether there is any more information about the Baudelaires?parents. - Henry Alford
Children's Literature
The much-anticipated finale to the adventures of the Baudelaire orphans is finally here. After a violent sea voyage with the villainous Count Olaf, the three children find their way to an island with somewhat unusual occupants. Refreshingly, the island inhabitants seem immune to Count Olaf's ordinarily effective and ridiculous scams and lies. However, this being a Snicket book, nothing is ever straightforward. The original humor is still here, as well as numerous jokes for the more well-read reader (such two of the island inhabitants being named Friday and Ishmael), but the situation is much darker and more philosophical. As far as a conclusion for the series, this leaves far too many questions unanswered, including the fates of many characters. While Snicket undoubtedly did this as a reflection on life and how nothing is ever tied up in a neat little bow, it is very frustrating for those who followed the series for thirteen books, expecting answers. Still, there are some gratifying events and the end, however unsatisfactory, does seem fitting for the series.
VOYA
In the unlucky series conclusion of an unlucky number of books, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny escape the fire from Hotel Denouement which occurred in the previous book, only to sail in the middle of the ocean with none other than the stomach-churning Count Olaf. They land on an island where the inhabitants refuse to rename their home "Olaf-Land," much to the villain's consternation, and meet a polite yet to-the-point young girl named Friday. Count Olaf is soon banished to the coastal shelf for unkindness, and the orphans are clued in about customs of the island and later on about its secrets. Ishmael, the facilitator, often says to the inhabitants, "I will not force you," but peer pressure wins out and simple living prevails-meaning that anything that washes up onto the shores is carried to the arboretum by a flock of sheep, rather than being used by those living on the island. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny discover pieces to stories about their family of which they were unaware and find out that their identities are known by Ishmael. Count Olaf meets his peaceful end by inhaling the spores of the Medusoid Mycelium but not before kissing Kit Snicket. Readers will not be sufficiently happy because of the sad ending, yet they should expect as much if they have been with the orphans through all of their misfortunes. The unexpected also comes in the form of a baby clutching a boat named Beatrice. The End. |
