This one was in my top five Series of Unfortunate books just because they found so much new information and they like it there and they grew to adapt the way there aunt lived, and then the way it ended just had me in tears i recommended reading the whole series start to finish because it doesn't feel the same when you just pick up from the middle or end. Don't start with this one you'll be confused. To fully understand it start from The Bad Beginning (book 1) and work your way to this one, i promise you it will be worth it.
