Synopsis

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIESDISCLAIMER: The long term effects of listening to this audio are unknown. Scientists have detected slightly higher rates of panic, fright and free-floating anxiety amongst listeners to this audio than that found in those listeners who engaged in more pleasant listening activities. Dear Listener,Like handshakes or housepets, many things are preferable when not slippery. Unfortunately, in this miserable volume, I am afraid that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire run into more than their fair share of slipperiness during their harrowing journey up—and down—a range of strange and distressing mountains. It would be best not to mention any of the unpleasant details of this story, particularly a secret message, a swarm of snow gnats, a scheming villain, a covered casserole dish, and a surprising survivor of a terrible fire.Unfortunately, I have dedicated my life to researching and recording the sad tale of the Baudelaire Orphans. There is no reason for you to dedicate yourself to such things, and you might instead dedicate yourself to letting this slippery audio slip from your hands into a nearby trash receptacle, or deep pit.With all due respect,Lemony Snicket

I have, in one way or another, been in the midst of rereading this series for several years. Which is just fine with me. If there’s a way I can somehow read these books forever, hmu. You may be tempted to say “Well Emma, there is. You could read a page of it every day for the rest of your life, or som......more

Goodreads review by Mark on July 02, 2024

I'm getting boring with 3* for the last 8 volumes in the series ... this one drifts close to 2*. The book opens with a double whammy of the oft-mentioned bad science combined with the not infrequent impossible-to-visualise scene. The Mortmain Mountains are bizarrely cube-shaped and have the expected v......more

Goodreads review by Sophia on April 20, 2021

This story well and truly throws out the status quo of the previous novels. It’s refreshing and long overdue. I loved all the information we got about V.F.D. It’s a lot more than I remembered getting. Of course, there are always more questions that could be answered. In my audiobook version, there i......more
