Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. Train travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale! On all other nights, the train departs from Stain'd Station and travels to the city without stopping. But not tonight. You might ask, why is this night different from all other nights? But that's the wrong question. Instead ask, where is this all heading? And what happens at the end of the line? The final book in Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, All the Wrong Questions.

Solid capper to the series, #3 and #4 have been my favorites, even if this one didn't answer all my questions.

so sad :-(

I feel like this whole series has been like... just not QUITE what I wanted it to be? But still funny and enjoyable to me. But I just wanted more information about VFD and Olaf and such, and like, Olaf and Beatrice are mentioned in this book ONE TIME in passing. Anyway I know I shouldn't judge a book on what I want it to be instead of on what it is... but I really want a DIFFERENT Lemony Snicket prequel series. I really do.

I also kind of forgot some of the stuff from previous books that seems like was important. I also genuinely thought maybe I skipped a book, but according to GoodReads I read them all. I guess they are just very mysterious.

Anyway, I love Lemony Snicket's tone and style SO MUCH that I will forgive it for being a tad convoluted. Overall this series does seem less appealing to actual children than the Series of Unfortunate Events? Am I right? Maybe I'm not right. LIFE IS COMPLICATED AND OFTEN TRAGIC.

Also, this series in particular has a lot of reverence for librarians, so it's delightful to be pandered to in this fashion.

ps: no, this book has nothing to do with Passover except the title
