We are down to the sixth part of the series and the tragedies and problems which the three orphans have been facing right from the start have not ended. For those who are in search of some kind of peace or redemption, this might not serve the purpose at all. There is no part of the series in which the major characters and the audience would have found some kind of peace.
From breakfast to the everyday challenges of life, it has been an unending type of tragedy for all of us. First, it was the bad bed that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny got in their boarding school. There were leeches in the room and the bad breakfast was something that they started receiving on daily basis. Lemony Snicket has not narrated this one rather it is Tim Curry who has given voice to this part just like he did in the initial parts of the series.
The three orphans in the story are grown up now and they are not only protecting themselves but are also helping other students too who seem to be in trouble. A mysterious staircase also opens in this one and the twisty story reminds many of The Bad Beginning, A Multi-Voice Recording, and ‘When Did You See Her Last?’. Don’t bother to look too hard into the story because everything will be revealed to you in the later stages. All you have to do is to enjoy the flow of the story. There is a liar that Violet, Klaus, and Sunny have to deal with along with other problems linked to their daily life.
