17. A Series of Unfortunate Events : The Austere Academy

By Lemony Snickett (227 pgs)

Book number 5 in the series. It seems the three orphans have finally run out of relatives. Either that or the relatives have wised up since all the one's who've taken in the children have ended up dead. In any case, this time the Baudelaires find themselves in a wretched boarding school.

The Baudelaires meet some kindred spirits in two children named the Quagmires. That's about the only good thing going for them in this one. Count Olaf of course shows up and his plot isn't quite as obvious as most have been. This one was kinda blah....but then I'm not the biggest fan to begin with.
