Train Travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale! Can Lemony Snicket finally discover all the right answers? There was a town, and there was a train, and there was a murder. Apprentice investigator Lemony Snicket was on the train, and he thought that if he solved the murder he could save the town. He was almost thirteen and he was wrong. He was wrong about all of it. He should have asked the question "Is it more beastly to be a murderer or to let one go free?" Instead, he asked the wrong question - four wrong questions, more or less.

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
