This is the only one of the Lemony Snicket books I am currently able to write a review of, as it's the only one that stuck with me. Perhaps that's because I am of two minds about it.
In part, I was disappointed in The End as it doesn't resolve many of the outstanding issues left open from elsewhere in the series. I wanted to know a lot of things, and that simply didn't happen.
On the other hand, for the very same reason, The End, is a lot like life. We never know everything, and there aren't always complete resolutions to our problems. As a message, that's a good thing to teach youngsters, as they have to learn to keep on trying regardless.
I guess everyone will have to make up their own minds about this one. For me, I need to re-read the entire series again and see what it feels like as a whole, but in general I think this was a pretty good book.
