About this listen

NOW A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Lemony Snicket returns with the last book before the last book of his bestselling A Series of Unfortunate Events. Scream and run away before the secrets of the series are revealed!

Very little is known about Lemony Snicket and A Series of Unfortunate Events. What we do know is contained in the following brief list:

  • The books have inexplicably sold millions and millions of copies worldwide
  • People in more than 40 countries are consumed by consuming Snicket
  • The movie was as sad as the books, if not more so
  • Like unrefrigerated butter and fungus, the popularity of these books keeps spreading

Even less is known about book the twelfth in this alarming phenomenon. What we do know is contained in the following brief list:

  • In this book, things only get worse
  • Count Olaf is still evil
  • The Baudelaire orphans do not win a contest
  • The title begins with the word ‘The’

Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

This review will not be terrible. In fact it’s the complete opposite. This audiobook is absolutely magnificent and I’m in love. This is probably my favourite audiobook in my library at the moment. The story is extremely well written and the best read I have listened to in all of my years. I love it so much that it is literally one of the only audiobooks I listen to. I love it so much that I listen to it much more than any more audiobooks in my entire library on audible. It is the perfect audiobook for anyone who loves crime fiction and adventurous characters that are so very good and perfect for problem solving in the writing career. This is perfect for me
