Synopsis

Best to start at the beginning, but the whole’s an enjoyable ride.”—Kirkus Reviews 

Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. This is his story.

Train travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale!

On all other nights, the train departs from Stain'd Station and travels to the city without stopping. But not tonight. You might ask, why is this night different from all other nights? But that's the wrong question. Instead ask, where is this all heading? And what happens at the end of the line? Will the final book in Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, All the Wrong Questions offer any answers?

"Snicket...closes his quartet of smart, noirish mysteries...with several bangs (and a poison dart or two). Most questions (wrong and right) are answered by the satisfying close."—Kirkus Reviews

Goodreads review by Sarah on May 13, 2018

The last volume in the All the Wrong Questions quartet answers many questions but leaves others dangling; one should expect nothing less from Snicket.

Goodreads review by Suad on October 21, 2015

Finally, the end of this long awaited series! And I don't say that in a bad way. Not at all. I just didn't want to have to wait another year for the next book, because of how good the Lemony Snicket books are! That being said, despite it being a good book, it wasn't AS good as the rest of the books i......more

Goodreads review by Bax on January 13, 2019

So many people to think about, Snicket, and still you are all alone. - - - - “What are you doing here?” “Recuperating,” I told her. “I was hanging on the outside of this train.” “You ever hear of buying a ticket?” “It’s an unexpected journey,” I said. “How did you manage to pull me up here?” “You don’t lu......more

Goodreads review by Miguel on October 02, 2015

When I opened this book for the first time, I was hoping Daniel Handler planned on continuing writing novels in the neo-noir style. Now I hope he never writes a novel again. Although Why Is This Night is not the monumental failure that some of his other novels have been, all the potential built up t......more

* "[With] gothic wackiness, linguistic play and literary allusions....Fans of the Series of Unfortunate Events will be in heaven picking out tidbit references to the tridecalogy, but readers who've yet to delve into that well of sadness will have no problem enjoying this weird and witty yarn."—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

*"Full of Snicket's trademark droll humor and maddeningly open-ended, this will have readers clamoring for volume two."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
