No current Talk conversations about this book. one thing i love about this series is how it very seamlessly gets more and more complex as it goes on, so reading it for a second time was so fun to pick up on some of the clues / things mentioned that you know have significance later on. you also see the baudelaires really start to understand they have to think for themselves to keep avoiding olaf, as no adult around them seems capable, so it was really fun to see more of their plans unfold in this book too. i just think this whole series is GENIUS!! 4.5/5 It's weird because I can't really say this book did anything very different from what the previous ones in the series did, but this time the whole book just... fits together. It's an extremely fun book. The orphans are, as always, lovely to read and easy to enjoy as characters. You can really see how well they work as a loving, even though extremely unlucky, family. The other characters are amazing in their own ways as well: Mr Poe is an absolute idiot and a great personification of how authority figures that are sure they know better look for children like the Baudelaire. Aunt Josephine is a pathetic, and quite selfish, little creature that ends up being a great distinction from Uncle Monty from the previous book. And Count Olaf... Well, frankly, the less we say about someone like him, the better. All in all, a great book that only hypes me more for the rest of the series yet to come. The Wide Window is the third novel of the children's book series A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. In this novel, the Baudelaire orphans live with their aunt Josephine, who is seemingly scared of everything and of course, a sailor named "Captain Sham", who is actually Count Olaf in disguise, shows up to get a hold of the Beaudelaire orphans. I didn't like this entry as much as the first two novels but it was still entertaining. no reviews | add a review

This is the last one I knew about, because it was the last one in the movies. From now on I don't know what will happen.
It's a Lemony Snicket story. The orphans get adopted once again, and it all goes wrong once again. If you know and like the other books you will probably like this one, if not there are other books out there... ( )
