The Ersatz Elevator

4.5

OMG OMG THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER!

I think this may be the best entry to the series as far as the first 6 books are concerned. A lot of revelations were revealed, especially with regards to the Quagmire twins. I knew there was something fishy going on with Esmé Squalor as soon as she was introduced in this book. As for Jerome Squalor...why? Just why would he abandon and give away the Baudelaires? I feel like he would be a really great guardian for them. Oh well, I understand his decisions since he really wanted to protect them..

Despite all that, I love seeing the Baudelaires overcome their adversities under the evil, good-for-nothing Count Olaf. Overall, I enjoyed this one the most. I couldn't stop reading until I'm finished with it. There's always a secret waiting to be exposed in this book. Loved it!

Anyway, I decided to take a short break from this series. I'll read maybe a couple of books before I could continue with it again. It was a great journey so far. ‘Til we meet again, ASOUE!
