The End

Series of Unfortunate Events Series

Author: Lemony Snicket

Illustrator: Brett Helquist

Book 13 in the Series of Unfortunate Events series

Pages: 337

Published: 2006

Age: 9+

Dear Reader,

This book, appropriately titled 'The End,' is the last in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events,' and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished.

You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would avoid this book at all costs because if you read 'The End' from the beginning of the beginning of 'The End' to the end of the end of 'The End,' you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

Imagine tales so terrible that as many as fifty million innocents have been ruined by them - tales so indelibly horrid that the New York Times bestseller list has been unable to rid itself of them for seven years...

This darkly humorous adventure series tells the miserable tale of the ill-fated Baudelaire siblings and their menacing relative Count Olaf. When the children receive the terrible news that their parents have died and their home has been burned to the ground, Violet, Klaus and Sunny are shipped off to live with a distant relative - the greedy and revolting Count Olaf - whose only interest lies in wheedling the poor children out of their substanial inheritance.

But unbeknowst to the conniving Count, these children are not so easily thwarted. Violet is one of the greatest inventors of her time, Klaus is a bookish-type with immense general knowledge and little Sunny possesses four razor-sharp teeth which she will not hesitate to use if threatened. The despicable Count has met his match with these three orphans! Read on if you dare...
