In my experience in reading EVERY book at least twice I must say I'm of two minds. On one hand it had many unexpected twists on the other it tends to drag on. On one hand it leaves you with many unanswered questions on the other hand it answers a very important one. On one hand Lemony keeps his word on the other he doesn't. All in all if I knew now what i didnt know then i would've stopped at the Penultimate Peril in no way does The End compare.

I must admit that It was somewhat dissapointing. I exepted well, more It was just basically a giant chase around the globe that some how no one else,not even the other volunteers knew about. it would have been much more thrilling if some third parties got invoveed I'm of course reffering to Count Olaf,Montgomery Josophine or perhaps or the Quagmire, and Denoument Triplets "R "seeing as they are all presumably alive at this time. I would have also enjoyed a better explanation on R or the "Sugar Bowl". But really cut us some slack we have heard about the "Sugar Bowl" since the SIXTH BOOK and we still would'nt know it if it flew by in a parachute. So I can safely assume Lemony has predicted at least a few thing's right we are taring out our hair in frustration, we are ponding our fists on the floor, we are completly lost we may know more than some of the charactors but certain questions still haunt us. Who killed Olaf's parent's? What happened to him and his sibling's when they died? Where is the "Sugar Bowl"? What is so important about the "Sugar Bowl"? Why did Olaf convince Beatrice not to marry Lemony? what was in it for him? but these questions along with so many more I fear Lemony just might take to the grave.
