Resumo de The Series Of Unfortunate Events The End

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.
fail to see how anyone can claim that The End does not make sense. It makes perfect sense. It is true that not all of the questions raised in previous books are answered, but that is the only way it could have been. Had Mr Snicket revealed the truth about everything, he would have completely defeated his point; the world is full of secrets, and nobody can ever know the whole story.

We do, however, find out who Beatrice is, and somehow with that knowledge everything else falls into place, and the reader is left with a warm, satisfied feeling. Other mysteries, which seemed so huge and important before, no longer appear quite so significant. I dont think Mr Snicket could have come up with a more perfect ending. I was actually quite overcome by the perfection. It's like God reached down and stuck its finger into Mr Snicket's brain. The end of The End is left relatively open although if you purchase The Beatrice Letters more of the Baudelaires' future will be revealed. There is even a degree of poignancy which is quite unexpected from Mr Snicket, and he tackles the concept of religion in a rather controversial and cunning way.

Although the Baudelaires are not reunited with the Quagmires, they do meet another old friend, and are acquainted with several new ones. Count Olaf, of whom I'm rather fond, becomes more lovable yet, and even betrays himself as quite wise. The line between treachery and nobility is blurred even further, the Baudelaires become intoxicated, and a dreaded fungus rampages freely. Thrilling stuff. Perhaps I'm not the most seasoned of readers, but A Series of Unfortunate Events is without a doubt the most unique series I've ever devoured. And if you skip pages, you're a moron.
This was probably my most eagerly awaited book of the year, and it didn't disappoint. As this gleefully miserable saga has unfolded, I have wondered more and more how the author could bring it to a satisfying ending without betraying the central gloomy theme of the series (a feat the film did not manage to pull off). I'm pleased to report that, with his usual applomb, 'Lemony Snicket' achieves the perfect ending to this innovative and truly enjoyable series.

If you haven't read the earlier books in the series, definitely avoid this one until you have. There are thirteen books and they should be read in order. This story is the culmination of the series and goes some way to answering the questions raised, without revealing too much. I felt the story maintained just the right degree of vaugeness, giving some answers whilst still enabling the reader to use their imagination. The story ends inconclusively, but there is enough 'closure' to allow the reader to feel satisfied. I can only hope the final Harry Potter installment manages to pull this off as well as it has been done here.

'The End' is written in the same inimitable style as the rest of the series, and continues from where 'The Penultimate Peril' left off. The charming but unlucky Baudelaire orphans encounter both enemies and friends, and there are many surprises in store for them when they are shipwrecked on an unusual island. As the children discover more about their parents and the circumstances of their lives (and deaths), their story finally comes together with the snippets of the life of the author. Why IS Lemony Snicket compelled to chronicle thes, and who was the 'dear, departed' Beatrice to whom the books are dedicated? All will be revealed...
