Book Description

Publication Date: Sep 28 2006 | Series: Series of Unfortunate Events (HarperCollins Audio) (Book 13)

Dear Listener,

You are presumably looking at the back of this audiobook, or the end of the end. The end of the end is the best place to begin the end, because if you listen to the end from the beginning of the beginning of the end to the end of the end of the end, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope. This audiobook is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

I also shouldn't mention the features of the interactive CD, which include:

  • Perplexing word games
  • Photos from The Lemony Snicket Archives
  • Art from The Brett Helquist gallery

It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this audiobook at once, so the end does not finish you.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket

Product Description

From Booklist

After a singularly bad beginning, the Baudelaire orphans, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny, have finally reached the end.The question is, will Book the Thirteenth in A Series of Unfortunate Events meet the expectations of the series' myriad fans? Snicket might put it a somewhat different way: if end simply means to cease, the answer is yes. If, however, end means to complete, the answer is most assuredly no--because though Snicket neatly clips numerous threads in the tragic saga, he leaves others literally fluttering in the breeze. As with the previous books, this one begins where its predecessor left off, with the orphans and the villainous Count Olaf afloat on dangerous open seas. When a storm blows their craft ashore, kindly islanders welcome the orphans, but Olaf is an outcast. Have the children finally found the longed-for "last safe place on earth?" Not so fast . . . before long, they are once again scrambling to avert disaster and death ("Kikbucit," as Sunny puts it when a couple of characters are terminated). If possible, this title is even more preposterous than others in the series (the children help an old friend give birth), as well as considerably longer than some. But frequent references to the other adventures will send Snicket fans back to previous books to delight once again in the idiosyncratic characters, the wry humor, and the wordplay, which has surely increased their vocabulary tenfold.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vaguely Finished Denouement Oct 21 2006
By Amanda Richards HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:Hardcover
With heavy heart I turned the page

That brought me to The End

After so long it feels as though

I've just lost a close friend

I've read the books from one to End

And shared with them their sorrow

The Baudelaires are moving on

To face a new tomorrow

Adrift at sea upon a bed

They're sharing with a foe

Hotel Denouement's far behind

With many miles to go

At last they reach a coastal shelf

And wade towards the shore

A girl named Friday helps them out

But there's much more in store

They meet the leader, dressed in white

Named Ishmael, call me "Ish"

Who offers them fermented drinks,

With raw seaweed and fish

The commune runs just like a cult

With Ish making the rules

He tells them not to rock the boat

But Baudelaires aren't fools

There's something wrong over the brae

And then to make things worse

Kit Snicket floats in on the tide

To lengthen this long verse

Back comes Olaf, and a snake

And Olaf's in disguise

The poison in his helmet bump

Can kill them all like flies

To cut things short, the Baudelaires

Go off to find the root

Of all that ails the island folk

And VFD to boot

The problem with this thirteenth tale

Is that it's lacking closure

You're not much wiser than you were

Before this last exposure

What was it in the sugar bowl?

And what's the Question Mark?

Are the Quagmires still alive?

He leaves us in the dark

Adult fans are sure to love

The characters on the isle

Plucked from famous classic tales

And sure to raise a smile

This is the most exciting one

And though it ties few ends

A villain finds love in his heart

And tries to make amends

5.0 out of 5 stars Each End is Bad... Oct 27 2006
By Alberta
Format:Hardcover
Without giving too much away, much of this final novel deals with death and rebirth, and dealing with the 'unknown', although I'm sure that many readers are probably very disappointed with so many questions unanswered about the Baudelaire children... Would that justify adding a few more books to the series? I certainly hope so. It really was touching seeing this series come to an end. Anyone who read each book of this series, as I did, will probably understand why I became melancholic after turning the last page of this book. One great thing in the series is seeing how the Baudelaires grew, changed, and matured. In the first book, they could barely take care of themselves, by the end of 'The End', they're trying to save the world (or what they can save of it). As for the melancholy, maybe it is just time to move to other series. One new series that caught my attention is 'Why Some Cats are Rascals'. It is supposed to be made of 9 books. So far I've read Book 1 and Book 2, and I am definitely going to follow Rascal's adventures in Book 3.

3.0 out of 5 stars not that good April 9 2007
By Bob
Format:Hardcover
I liked some of it so i gave it three stars. I hated it towards the end because it seemed that the authour was in a hurry to finish it because he filled two pages or so about what happened to Count Olaf and the Baudelaire Orphans.
