by Lemony Snicket (218 pgs)
*sigh* I'm pretty sure children's literature could potentially be better than this. It's not that this is awful but it strays fairly close to obnoxious. I know kids love it, but there's better stuff out there for them. Anyway....
In this, the third, book of the series we find the Baudelaires with their rather droopy Aunt Josephine. The aunt is rather annoyingly afraid of absolutely everything. Thankfully it annoys the children as well but unlike the previous installment there was a dearth of witty dialog. Of course Aunt Josephine doesn't survive very long and I'm beginning to wonder if the orphans will have any relatives left for the next book in the series.
