The End A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 13 Lemony Snicket Brett Helquist Michael Kupperman 9780064410168 Books

I will say this - we don't find out what V.F.D. actually stands for, which is disappointing.

The Baudelaires are on a boat with Count Olaf when a storm strands them on an island with very, very strong connections to V.F.D. and the past. The leader Ishmael (whose name bothered me) has a strong influence over the islanders and I didn't trust him from the start. Everything from around the world washes up on the island.
Everything.

The ending was strange and sad. It wasn't anticlimactic, but it wasn't satisfying. There is an epilogue (chapter 14) that wraps things up a little more but even so....I want to know the answers the siblings read about! I did enjoy finding out who Beatrice actually was.
Who Lemony Snicket really is.
that was quite interesting.

The End A Series of Unfortunate Events Book 13 Lemony Snicket Brett Helquist Michael Kupperman 9780064410168 Books Reviews

An excellent book for kids, and teenagers. I would even recommend this to adults if they want something fun and whimsical. Although something to keep in mind this is the last book in a very long series, so read the first 12 books first.
PLOT In this book, the Baudelaire orphans are shipwreched with Count Olaf onto an "abandoned" island far away from civilaztion and meet a stranger with a certain book who turns out to be more important that you would think. Without spoiling anything, all that I'll say is that the harpoon gun and the Medusoid Mycelium return, and that there's a Chapter 14 (epilogue). Plus, a friend from one of the earlier books is back - but you'll NEVER guess who!! Lastly, let me tell you that at a certain part of the story, there's a Biblical reference that is very interesting to see how Daniel Handler/Lemony Snicket portrays in literature. I think that's it's safe to say that The End was very expecteded by all Snicket fans, but that there was a bit of disappointment when people actually read the book. Well, as far as I know, it's all based on opinion becasue even though some people hated the book, others (including myself) enjoyed it even more than the other twelve! True, the sugar bowl mystery was not resolved, but clues in other books hint to its contents. The VFD mystery is in fact solved, but the reader must pay close attention to what Lemony Snicket says. When you get to the end of the book, the identity of Beatrice is the best you'll love to read because it was so unpredictable (although The Beatrice Letters (A Series of Unfortunate Events) gives you clues). Overall, if you've read all of the books in the series - do not even think twice about reading this one...just do! The cover says it all this is a very "unfortunate" book. IT IS ABSOLUTELY GREAT (specially Count Olaf's hilarious and unique disguise)! One more thing Kit Snicket gives birth (I am not sure whether this is a spoiler or not becasue it was kind of obvious that it would happen in the last book, but it was still worth mentioning). The World Is Quiet Here.
I loved the last line of this book. It fit perfectly with the whole series and summed up the whole series. I would have liked to have seen more of some characters, but I liked where this last installment of the series took the Baudelaires. I loved how you finally figure out where the name of the series came from and who it involves. I've never seen an author make up a sort of pen name and then integrate that into the books. I think this series was well written even though some of the plots were a little over redundant. All and all I'm glad I stuck with the series till the end of "The End" even when I wanted to put the books down (as Lemony Snicket has said) before the end of "The End."

thank you for your time,

The Series of Unfortunate Events books started off quite unique and fascinating. However, as the series went on, I noticed at least a couple of repetitive elements that became cause for frustration. This book was not without its share of those frustrating elements.

The first of these was the constant warnings to "put this horrible book down". To be honest, after twelve other books--and was it just me, or did the frequency of the warnings increase--I had no desire to hear this warning rephrased. Whereas, it was humorous the first five or ten times, by book "The End", it was simply something that caused frustration.

Also, I found the lists of examples the author gave to illustrate his point got longer and longer, and also more numerous, as the series neared completion. It was almost as if the author had to include a certain number of words, due to contractual obligation. In "The End", there is more than one list covering an item for each letter of the alphabet, if I recall correctly. I began to skim through certain sections of these books. (And, lo and behold, in one section of "The End", the author attempts to catch readers who are doing just that.)

Also, whereas other books in the series, when they did portray events that might be disturbing to younger readers, portrayed them in such a ridiculous way as to be obviously comical to any child who was of an age to read them himself, this last book contains a death that occurs as a result of an all too real possibility--childbirth.

There is also the ending of the book itself, which, to its credit, is much unexpected, but may leave the younger readers quite disturbed. (As it was, my fifteen year old daughter couldn't stop talking about how upset she was with the ending.)

This series is excellent for teaching vocabulary, and this book was no exception, but the other lessons this book tries to teach may not be what children are looking for when they reach for the escape usually found in a good book.

"The End", and the entire series, after reading the last page, leaves you feeling unsatisfied--incomplete! "That's it?!" is what I kept thinking to myself. The lessons, the author's points, are accurate and well made, but I really, really, really, really (a little Snicket there) don't read fantasy to have such "truths" imparted to me--and I don't think my children do either.

Both I and my fifteen year old daughter wish we could have the hours we spent reading this series back, due to the way it all wrapped up in this book, "The End".
I will say this - we don't find out what V.F.D. actually stands for, which is disappointing.

The Baudelaires are on a boat with Count Olaf when a storm strands them on an island with very, very strong connections to V.F.D. and the past.
