When Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire find themselves in the same boat as Count Olaf, after all the treachery that happened at the Hotel Denoument, in the middle of nowhere, they think there is nothing worse that can happen, until a horrid storm comes. When the wake up they find themselves on a simple island, where you eat and drink the same things, wear the same things, and do the same things. But is the island really as tranquil as everybody thought? The island's facilitator seems suspicious, and everywhere the Baudelaire's go, treachery seems to find them. Can the Baudelaire's live on this island forever?
This book was so bad that it made me regret reading the previous twelve books in the series. Nothing was resolved. After thirteen books, I expected something to happen. Instead, there's just gratuitous death and abruptly discarded plotlines. The laziest possible ending to a series that could have been very interesting.
Not entirely satisfying but the end nevertheless
A fine end to an excellent story, and yet I find myself wanting more. I suppose that is the ultimate sign of an excellent book/series. Sigh... ...That last Harry Potter book needs to hurry up and get here!
