The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13) Review
I think that the people who had been insulting this series should just analyze this more. since the beginning the author is telling the readers that this is going to end badly and book after book just demonstrates this idea. even though this ending leaves the reader with the felling that something is missing i think is the perfect ending to this series is a series of unfortunate events people not every ending has to be pretty I think is mysterious i had never read something likes this before that is for children he just tuck the meaning of everything to another level. I would read it again and again. the ending is and open one is not necessary happy but you can make your own ending and my ending for this series is that i decide i will have hope and for me they lived for other they will die at least this book does not kill them in the ending and that means i can decide that they lived and that may be unfortunate too.

The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13) Specifications
Picking up from the final pages of the Pentultimate Peril, this farewell installment to the ridiculously (and deservedly!) popular A Series of Unfortunate Events places our protagonists right where we last left them: on a large, wooden boat in the middle of the ocean, trapped with their nemesis Count Olaf, who has armed himself with a helmet-full of deadly Medusoid Mycelium.
The situation quickly and--this being the Baudelaires--predictably deteriorates. Violet, Klaus, and Sunny find themselves tossed in a storm so terrible that our beloved narrator spends four pages describing how he cannot describe it. From this point on, fans of the series' smarty-pants wordplay and acrobatic narrative can rest assured that they're in for more of the same (and how) in this 368-page finale, and Daniel Handler's deadpan Snicket continues to tutor a generation in self-referential humor (including one particularly funny bit regarding three very short men carrying a large, flat piece of wood, painted to look like a living room). Snicket notes, of course, that if you read the entire series, "your only reward will be 170 chapters of misery in your library and countless tears in your eyes."
There's one big question, though, for anyone who's made it through "the thirteenth chapter of the thirteenth volume in this sad history": is the final book a fitting end? That question is probably best-answered by one of The End's most oft-repeated phrases: It depends on how you look at it. Those looking for conclusive resolution to the series' many, many mysteries may be disappointed, although some big questions do get explicit answers. Not surprisingly for a work so deliberately labyrinthine, though, even the absence of an answer can be sort of an answer--and reaction to The End can be something of a Rorschach test for readers. Or, as Lemony Snicket says, "Perhaps you don’t know yet what the end really means." --Paul Hughes
