I've gotta give this one a 3.5 out of 5. While I enjoyed the story and loved all the snakes throughout, the book was just a little too repetitive. Hi, I am Stephano. No, you're Count Olaf. Hi, I am Stephano. No, you're Count Olaf. We must prove it! And over and over this little cycle went throughout the story. I love that we are getting to know Olaf a little bit more and see the extremes to which he will go to get the Baudelaires fortune, but this book seems like it could have just been a few chapters in a book but not the entire book itself. Anyway, on to the next!
