Product Description

Product Description

Like an off-key violin concert, the Roman Empire, or food poisoning, all things must come to an end. Thankfully, this includes "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket. The final installment in Mr Snicket's baker's dozen of books will answer readers' most burning questions: Will Count Olaf prevail? Will the Baudelaires survive? Will the series end happily? If there's nothing out there, what was that noise? Then again, why trouble yourself with unfortunate resolutions? Avoid the thirteenth and final book of Lemony Snicket's international bestselling series and you'll never have to know what happens.

5.0 out of 5 stars It won't plase everyone, but ..., 13 Oct 2006
By Bookworm (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews
'The End', the 13th and final book in ASOUF, definitely won't please everyone, but that still doesn't mean it's a bad book. When readers have stuck with a series over several years, it is almost rude of the author not to give a satisfactory conclusion. Every reader will have their own opinions as to whether or not 'The End' actually does this - if you expect answers to every question, you may be in for a disappointment. That said, the ending keeps within the overall tone of the series, and while some may argue that there are loose threads, a lot is explained as well. To say anymore would spoil the book, so I'd encourage you to read it yourself and make your own mind up. Either way, a series which has consistenly surprised, entertained and delighted over the course of several years has now come to an end. Any faults that can be found are only slight ones. Thank you, Mr Snicket, for thirteen extraordinary novels.

2.0 out of 5 stars The End..., 13 Jan 2008
By Mehajabeen Farid "Mej_da_reviewer" (Coventry) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you read the last twelve books full of courageousness, you probably can't stand such unpleasantness 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. This book doesn't completely finish of the series because at the end of `The End' there is the first chapter of `The Last' which continues the story even further. I think this book is the worst and least frightening or full of bad luck. They are stranded in the sea - they come onto an island, they are hungry and thirsty - they get nourished, they want to find out about their parents - they do. So as you can clearly see this book isn't too bad. And there is a very unusual twist to 'The End'.

1.0 out of 5 stars The End? You could have fooled me..., 30 Dec 2006
I have read all 13 of the Lemony Snicket books, and although 4, 7, 9, 11 and 12 were pretty dull, they always seemed worth it because you could feel some huge payoff lurking just out of sight. Some unifying fact tying the Baudelaires, the Snickets, the Quagmires, the fires, all the different VFDs, the sugarbowl, the questionmark on the radar screen etc. Instead it is very clear that Daniel Handler had not planned the story from the start. He desperately struggles to explain bits and bobs (not very convincingly), and then just writes everything else off using "the great unknown". Seriously, the most disappointing ending to any mystery (the equvalent would be if Agatha Christie had left one of her crimes unsolved) and made all the worse as it spanned not just one, but thirteen novels.

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing finish to an incredible series.
No, I was shocked by the ending of this series. Blunt, rushed and abrupt. Ending with 'BEATRICE', doesn't make any sense. The story was so good, as well. Read more
