Product Description
From Booklist
Gr. 5-8. "Book the Twelfth," second to last in the fantastically popular A Series of Unfortunate Events, reunites the beleaguered Baudelaire orphans with a host of characters from previous adventures as they gather at Hotel Denouement (with rooms organized according to the Dewey decimal system) to await the delivery of--the sugar bowl. Well, fans will get the drift, despite the fact that this inventive go-round seems more dizzying and stuffed with definitions than usual. But even as the series draws to a close, new questions arise--the most important one being, are the kids valorous volunteers or villains after all? Stephanie Zvirin

5.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,
By
This review is from: The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12) (Hardcover)
I found it interesting but not the best. Just OK. This was the first book I read from this series, although I see that it is already no.12. Maybe I would have liked it more if I have read the previous eleven books from this series. Maybe so, but somehow I do not feel like finding it out... I find the series "Why some cats are rascals" much more interesting. This one I found really captivating I am looking forward to the book No. 4 from this series.

Pretty Good Book,

This review is from: The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12) (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed reading this book. You should read books #1 to #11 before reading this one. In this book the baudelaires act as concierges in a hotel and try to solve a mystery, I wont tell you what it is untill you read the book! I hope you enjoy it too.

Another installment for the fans!,
By Cordelia Kwon (Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Penultimate Peril (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 12) (Hardcover)
As with every Lemony Snicket book, the events in here were unfortunate.The Grim Grotto (the 11th book in the series) was terrible in my opinion so I did not have high expectations for The Penultimate Peril. I still would say that the earlier ones (from 1-5) are the best. This is another installment that any loyal fan of this series would love but it was another explanation book rather than a book in which something particularly of any interest happened. While I did only give it 3 stars, a loyal fan of Lemony Snicket would probably be more generous. It's all about who you ask.
