I thought I had read the complete A Series of Unfortunate Events series but, little did I know a thirteenth book existed. What? How did I miss this? I really have no idea. Upon my discovery of a thirteenth (and final) book I had to get my hands on a copy. While reading The End I was bit frustrated and confused. Maybe confused is not the right word here but, I had a little trouble remembering what happened in prior books since it has been a while that I read them. I was optimistically looking forward to a happy ending for the Baudelaire orphans after all the unfortunate events they've encountered since their parents perished. The end of The End felt, to me, a bit unresolved. I still have lots of questions that went unanswered and I'm not sure I'll ever get answers. But at the end of the day, I do love this series. I feel like I understand the core meaning of the books. And although the Baudelaire orphans don't particularly get a happy ending, we're left with a sense that this is definitely not an unhappy ending for them. We're left with a great sense of hope, which is a lot better than nothing. Definitely better.
