The most mysterious one。

Częściowo spodziewałam się po czyjej stronie jest Esmeralda， ale nie myślałam， że wepchnie bohaterów do。。。 。 Mega szybko przeczytałam。 Ta część naprawdę mi się podoba。

Cris ，

“The Baudelaires looked at one another with faint smiles。 They were smiling because they didn’t think Violet’s inventing skills would fail， any more than Klaus’s research skills would fail or Sunny’s teeth would fail。 But the children also knew that they wouldn’t fail each other， as Jerome had failed them and as Mr。 Poe was failing them now， as he dialed the wrong number and was talking to a Vietnamese restaurant instead of the police。 No matter how many misfortunes had befallen them and no matt “The Baudelaires looked at one another with faint smiles。 They were smiling because they didn’t think Violet’s inventing skills would fail， any more than Klaus’s research skills would fail or Sunny’s teeth would fail。 But the children also knew that they wouldn’t fail each other， as Jerome had failed them and as Mr。 Poe was failing them now， as he dialed the wrong number and was talking to a Vietnamese restaurant instead of the police。 No matter how many misfortunes had befallen them and no matter how many ersatz things they would encounter in the future， the Baudelaire orphans knew they could rely on each other for the rest of their lives， and this， at least， felt like the one thing in the world that was true。”SO FRUSTRATING 。。。more

It's another Series of Unfortunate Events book， and it feels a lot like the others。 We're back to having one kind guardian （and one nasty one， which is new）， this new setting is creative and vibrant as always （both lovely and loathesome）， and the word "in" will never quite be the same to me。 One of this book's greatest disappointments， of course， is the absence of Larry-your-Waiter， alas。 It's another Series of Unfortunate Events book， and it feels a lot like the others。 We're back to having one kind guardian （and one nasty one， which is new）， this new setting is creative and vibrant as always （both lovely and loathesome）， and the word "in" will never quite be the same to me。 One of this book's greatest disappointments， of course， is the absence of Larry-your-Waiter， alas。 。。。more

There's so much humor to be found in Snicket's novels。 The sixth installment in the Series of Unfortunate Events is no exception。 Even among all the misfortune the Baudelaires face， there is laughter to be found in almost every situation。 Loved it！ There's so much humor to be found in Snicket's novels。 The sixth installment in the Series of Unfortunate Events is no exception。 Even among all the misfortune the Baudelaires face， there is laughter to be found in almost every situation。 Loved it！ 。。。more

En este libro， los hermanos Baudelaire regresan a su ciudad natal a vivir con una pareja de guardianes en un lujoso edificio de departamentos。 En este espacio la gente está obsesionada con lo que está "dentro" y lo que está "fuera"。 Las tendencias son rígidas， absolutas y cambiantes。 Además de ello uno de sus guardianes está resuelto a jamás llevar la contraria o discutir。La premisa es interesante peor la ejecución a la hora de narrar no sólo deja mucho que desear sino que reproduce una vez más En este libro， los hermanos Baudelaire regresan a su ciudad natal a vivir con una pareja de guardianes en un lujoso edificio de departamentos。 En este espacio la gente está obsesionada con lo que está "dentro" y lo que está "fuera"。 Las tendencias son rígidas， absolutas y cambiantes。 Además de ello uno de sus guardianes está resuelto a jamás llevar la contraria o discutir。La premisa es interesante peor la ejecución a la hora de narrar no sólo deja mucho que desear sino que reproduce una vez más el abandono de los Baudelaire。 Luego de 6 libros， encontrar las mismas frases de advertencia que la historia no tiene una resolución grata es cansino。 Insistir en que otra vez aparecerá el Conde Olaf， en los talentos de los huérfanos ya es casi un paroxismo。Sobre la conclusión de la historia hallo pocas cosas rescatables， si acaso es que hay un seguimiento del secuestro de sus amigos， los trillizos Quagmire。 Fuera de eso， resulta un libro casi de relleno。 。。。more

Kristal ，

This one was another one of my favorites of the series growing up。 Once again， I love the gems Snicket sneaks into his books （ie Sunny shouting Armani！ when looking at fashionable clothes）， his dry humour， how he teachers the reader some lesser known words， and the suspense。

William Norton ，

Another good book in the series - learnt some new words like ersatz too！

David Simpson ，

This is definitely where things start to pick up a little in the series。

I great continuation to the series， "The Ersatz Elevator" takes us back to the city that the Baudelaire's are from。 Words cannot describe how much I adore this book。 It's certainly one-of-a-kind and is such a lovely adventure！ It's very thrilling while also being quirky and very adventurous。 This book tackles a very clear mystery， which I enjoy， and it's interesting to see the Baudelaire's play detective in this。 It's very different from the five books leading up to this one。 Just like with "The I great continuation to the series， "The Ersatz Elevator" takes us back to the city that the Baudelaire's are from。 Words cannot describe how much I adore this book。 It's certainly one-of-a-kind and is such a lovely adventure！ It's very thrilling while also being quirky and very adventurous。 This book tackles a very clear mystery， which I enjoy， and it's interesting to see the Baudelaire's play detective in this。 It's very different from the five books leading up to this one。 Just like with "The Austere Academy，" this book has a special place in my heart， and I enjoyed it my second time around just as much as I did when I initially read it。The setting is so gorgeous and whimsical。 It's very comical how the apartment is at the top， and how the apartment seems like a never-ending maze。 As a kid it was so interesting and I wish the orphans had spent more time exploring and looking for secrets in the apartment。 I'd like to hear a whole story about the stuff they find， even if it was just random， quirky stuff。 I also wish they had spent more time outside of the house and going around the city。 I wish they had maybe revisited and spent time at more of the old landmark's of their past。 The things that were mentioned were quick and were thrown aside a moment later。（Spoilers in the next two paragraphs）One small complaint I have is that I wish less time had been spent in the elevator shaft。 Even though that's what the book is centered on， it seemed unnecessary for them to be in it all the time。 I believe the orphans went up and down it three or so times？ However many times it was completely unrealistic， and they never even got tired in the process。 It's just strange。， because rope climbing can be exhausting if you don't have much upper body strength。 It's also weird how it is described to take hours for the Baudelaire's to climb up or down， yet they were able to make a rope （that could have in now way realistically supported their weight） in a matter of minutes that was long enough for a climb that length。 I've mentioned in some of my other reviews of these books， but the thing that bugs me the most is when aspects are very unrealistic to a level that it's frustrating。 This is something that is an issue in the later books， but Snicket stretches the character's stamina so long。 They can do laborious tasks for hours without getting tired and they can go days without eating or sleeping。 It is just really annoying， and this is the book where Snicket starts to use it to his advantage， which is lazy writing。Another minor- slightly off topic annoyance， was the part about the Baudelaire's coming out of tunnel and finding themselves in the ashy ruins of their house。 One， why would the ashes still be there？ There might be a bit of debris， but the orphans were gone for quite some time， so why would the ashes not have been cleaned up？ I don't know if that was supposed to be symbolic or something， but it honestly made me think about how that city's cleanliness department was not doing their job。 Second， and this is something I mentioned in my review of "The Bad Beginning，" but why did the Baudelaire's not have much of a reaction when noticing their surroundings？ They didn't have any flashbacks， they didn't cry， and they didn't even acknowledge it。 They just got out of the tunnel and walked away without a word。 It almost makes me wonder if Violet and Klaus don't have much reactions to traumatic stuff because they're psychopaths。At the end of the day I highly recommend this book to readers。 It's hilarious， comical， quirky， mysterious， thrilling， and adventurous。 It has a fun setting， an interesting conflict， and goofy scenarios。 It's absolutely amazing， and I always going to cherish this book forever。 As I mentioned before， this book and "The Austere Academy" are my two favorite books in this series。 I adore both of them and I think it's adorable how my two favorites are back to back。 It pains when I finish this book， but I always smile whenever I think about this story。 。。。more

I think this is easily one of my favorite books out of the series so far。 I love the word ersatz。 I love the concept of an ersatz elevator and where it led。 For me， this is also where the story is building up and more mysteries are coming out， especially with that damn elevator。 Jerome is nice and all， but the fact that he doesn't want to argue with people is so problematic， which is the entire point of him， but it drives me up the wall。 Like he actually cared about the children， but he did noth I think this is easily one of my favorite books out of the series so far。 I love the word ersatz。 I love the concept of an ersatz elevator and where it led。 For me， this is also where the story is building up and more mysteries are coming out， especially with that damn elevator。 Jerome is nice and all， but the fact that he doesn't want to argue with people is so problematic， which is the entire point of him， but it drives me up the wall。 Like he actually cared about the children， but he did nothing to help them because he didn't want to argue。 He was also close friends with their mother and things were brought up， but he never finished。 In the end， he said that their mother always thought he was not brave。 There is also the fact that Esme said that Beatrice stole something from her。 Who is Beatrice？ I do not know because I only read up to book 8。 So many mysteries。 Also， is Olaf clever？ Or are the adults just really that stupid？ Tune in later to find out。 。。。more
