The End

Snicket, Lemony. The End. New York: HarperCollins, 2006. 327 pages. (Adventure Series)

Under the sun the Baudelaires and Count Olaf
Needle each other as they are pushed farther out to sea.
Finally there is a storm and
Olaf is washed over board.
Rapidly the orphans are washed onto a coastal shelf.
Then they are found by colonists on the island next to the shelf.
Unfortunately Olaf tries to join too, but is left behind.
Never did the Baudelaires dream to be so lucky.
At first life in the colony is
Tranquil compared to the Baudelaires regular life
Even though the food and everything else is a little bland.

Everything changes when a figure from the Baudelaires past shows up on a
Vast cube of books. The islanders turn them away from their
Establishment, leaving the Baudelaires and their friend who is
Nearly finished with her pregnancy.
Then the Baudelaires meet something that they hoped to never see again and that could
Slaughter everyone on the island.

This book was
High-quality writing and very enjoyable
Especially when the author constantly tried to discourage his readers from

Enduring to read the book and suffer with the Baudelaires unfortunate lives.
Nevertheless, I wish that the author could have told the readers the secrets the siblings
Discovered as they read the history of the island.
