These kinds of plots allow us to pay attention to any detail thrown at us and we are in the present with the characters. This is often something people underestimate, and I love any kind of long-length story that takes place up to three days. What made this novel work so well in terms of plot was the short timeframe it covered. But Snicket’s unreliable narration that put rainclouds over a lot really shone this time. I felt like I was being talked down to in the writing style far less, for one thing. The writing style was far more tolerable this time. Maybe this was because in book one I was still getting re-introduced to Snicket’s writing style, or maybe because of others points I will later discuss. This book was in so many ways better than its predecessor. ![]() And his next plans require more cunning on their part as they attempt to prove him guilty of murder. But Count Olaf soon returns in disguise, still wanting to get his hands on their fortune. ![]() Fascinated by his studies of snakes, the children think they have found their new home and family to grow up with. Violet, Klaus and Sunny Baudelaire cunningly escape the clutches of Count Olaf and instead meet the eccentric Doctor Montgomery, their new garden. And things get better!įor the readers, not for the children sadly. Been a while since we touched The Bad Beginning, it was only a matter of time until we found out how the story continued. ![]()
