Search - The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Bk 13)

I read The End in record time! I finished it at midnight and nearly cried through the last chapter!

It is SO GOOD! I absolutely love it. Although the story and some of the loose strings are tied up, there are still more pieces to the puzzle. Don't forget to read Lemony Snickets Autobiography... it has more clues to solving the riddle that is weaved throughout the series.

FIVE STARS! :)

The End didn't make much more sense than the Beginning, but I love the moral that you can't protect everyone from bad things happening to them.

After investing the time and money into the previous 12 books (and other supplemental books) Lemony Snicket's conclusion was a little more than disappointing. Rather than addressing the important mysteries in the orphans lives that he'd spent so much time building up, he sort of tossed them aside. It almost seemed like he didn't know the answers to the questions he posed and was just trying to write his way out of a corner with this book saying some mysteries will never be solved. He does wrap up a few things, but not enough to really feel satisfied about the series.

Excellent series with this as the last book

This book is in excellent condition. It had only been read once. I recommend it to children of ages eight and up.

Great ending, but lots of loose ends still. Don't forget to check the back of the book. There is an additional chapter (14) that you could miss if you are not paying attention.
