This book was just as good as the others. I listened to it completely on audiobook as I was busy completing other tasks. It was great background and I loved the song in it at the chapter breaks. Tim Curry does a great job narrating.

I'm giving this a lower rating than many of the others but I still did love this one, it's just that this one slowed down a bit to give the characters room for development but while it did that I felt like they perhaps developed a little TOO quick. Though I do love how Olaf is now more inclined with the story and is not being formulaic anymore but I will also say that, with that being said, it does show that the author doesnt quite know how to break that formula and still make a great plot. I still like it tho!

What I love about this book is how much it has to say about doing things for the "greater good." It talks a lot about how far someone may go to do what they believe is right. It really encapsulates one of my favorite things about the later books in the series: how the Baudelaires feel like their actions are just as villainous as Olaf's, regardless of their virtuous intent. It was my first introduction into the "see yourself become the villain" trope, and it's just as poignant today.
