The Reptile Room

I switched to the audiobook (narrated by Tim Curry) for The Reptile Room after not enjoying The Bad Beginning. This immensely helped with the repetitive writing, and I stomached the definitions and other such writing quirks a lot more. Tim Curry did a fantastic job narrating. I also love herpetology, so I was bound to like the setting a bit more. I liked that this book seemed a bit more dangerous (to me) and the orphans seemed quickly to understand they needed take matters into their own hands. I liked it!
