The End (Book the 13th) by Lemony Snicket

I finally reached the end of A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. Thirteen volumes of the adventures and misadventures of the Baudelaire orphans came to an end with The End (Book the 13th).

More questions were left unanswered than answered, in my humble opinion, as the book came to its end. My vocabulary increased substantially as a result of reading this series, as Snicket uses a "big" word in the book and then gives the definition.

I started this series when my son was in fourth grade, and finished it with him now a sophomore in high school!! I read the first four volumes, and have enjoyed the last nine as CD's on my car radio. I saw the movie, which was based on the first three books--I loved it, my son hated it, and my husband slept through it. Wow, the Baudelaire orphans and I have been through so much together the past six years. A good series for those readers who enjoy expanding their vocabulary.
