Accidents, evil plots, and general misfortune abound when, in their continuing search for a home, the Beaudelaire orphans are sent to live and work in a sinister lumber mill.
Still enjoying reading these with the kiddo.
I thought it was interesting that Count Olaf is barely in this one, and the misery and cruelty mostly come from the situation and the setting, as well as their caretaker, "Sir".
Still, a fun read full of dark humor and a bit more absurdity this time. Already starting on the next one.
