nigellicus 's review for:

The Vile Village by Lemony Snicket
5.0

DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE.

The VFD village with the VFD crows beckons the Baudelaire children. Does it hold the answers they seek? Will they find the Quagmire Triplets? Who is leaving cryptic clues under the Nevermore Tree? Has Count Olaf finally been captured? If that's not Count Olaf then who is it? You don't need me to go telling you at this stage that the chances of the answers to some or any or all of these questions leading to good times and happiness all round are a bit slim. Some of them do get answered, though, and some of the answers lead to more questions. We only have ourselves to blame, you know. It isn't as if he doesn't keep telling us how it's going to work out. Badly.
