"The Hostile Hospital (A Series of Unfortunate Events #8)"

WORTH CONSUMING!

So far my ranking is (read so far…) goes like this:

Book Eight, Book Two, Book Five, Book Seven, Book Six, Book Four, Book One, Book Three.

It’s very rare for a series book to not follow the established pattern, tempo, and flow of the previous books in the series.

Book Eight is to Lemony Snicket as Empire Strikes Back is to Star Wars.

No new guardian, no Mister Poe, and (even better) no Count Olaf (in person) until the final chapter.

Olaf: I really hate that guy, give some credit to Snicket as a writer, but most of Olaf’s ick-factor is due to Jim Carrey’s portrayal in the movie.
