What Parents Need to Know
About The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13)
Parents need to know that the humor in this series is of the dark, bleak variety, and many kids don't get the joke -- they just see it as an adventure. Few books are seen as differently by adults and kids as this series. You'll probably enjoy it almost as much as your children -- but for entirely different reasons.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the dilemmas in which the Baudelaire children keep finding themselves. How have they been forced to commit acts they regret? Did they have other choices? Are the things they've done really bad? Is it possible for good people with good intentions to do bad things? Also, is it possible to be safe from the turmoils of the world? Is it desirable?

The End
I loved the series as a kid. I always thought there was something I was missing as I read them though, like some kind of dark humour. But, I think this was just how the book was created... I wouldn't say this is the book for everyone. But if you're ok with worst case scenarios, and deathly accidents, I'd say you should tr y it out, even if you're a bit aged. :)

this book was the best out of the whole series by far! i looove the writing style of lemony snicket and how its so awesomely mysterious! its just that the ending made me SO MAD!throughout like the whole series he kept talking about the secret of the sugar bowl, so i thought he would reveal it in the last book but he just left hanging! i was like "what the heck was the whole sugar bowl thing supposed to mean?! and what does VFD stand for?!?! what happened to the Baudelaires?!? you were just getting to the good part!!!dont just leave me!!!" it will leave you maddeningly curious. overall, AWWWESOMMME book.
