crusoe 's review for:

The Carnivorous Carnival by Lemony Snicket
3.0
adventurous dark funny mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I really liked the discussion on what makes a villain that this story introduces. The new additions to Olaf's troupe are quite nice too and I like the slow hinting at the mysteries going on in the background. The repetitive structure is starting to become grating no matter the setting which is unfortunate.
