Amazing!
Dude! I almost cried at the end! But even though this is a children't book there are some iffy things. The usual violence seen throughout the books is present. And the islanders are addicted to coconut cordial. And the Baudelaires are forced to do bad things, but it's for the right reason.

This series is a MUST read
For what it's worth, I love this series and this final book says why: Too many parents are sheltering their children in a paranoid and delusional manner these days. I remember a much more free childhood than my daughter has. Granted, there are horrid people out there, but our kids need to know it and deserve more than sugar coating. Sheltering them won't help. This series deals with these issues in a responsible way and alerts kids to subtle issues of personal responsibility and moral introspection. Kudos to Daniel Handler (Lemony S.).

Good book, but the others in the series had more engaging plots. This series is very unique, as anyone older than 8 can enjoy it. This book is somewhat violent. The children are unsure whether they can be called noble when they have done so many treacherous things. Don't pay attention to the previous reviewer's comment on the manatee accident; he/she obviously missed the part where we find out her father actually LEFT her and the manatee thing was a LIE.

one of the best in the series
i absolutly LOVED IT!!!!! a lot of ppl seem to be critisizing lemony snicket that he left too many loose ends, but actually he didn'y and the answers to many questions a bit hidden in the rest of the series! this book is an awesome ending and im sad to see that the series is over. actually this book is one of my favorites, and i think he did a great job! but for kids, i'd be a bit careful, but for drugs there is a some kind of drink that everyone has on the island which clearly has a drug in it, a woman gives birth, someone is shot with a harpoon, threats, etc. but all in all a great book!!!
