Spiegazioni: Cecrow : Best book in the series, I thought, both for humour and the most competent of the Baudelaires' otherwise frustrating prospects.

Spiegazioni: Cecrow : Skip the whaling detail chapters if you must, but they build sympathy for the whale and add a strong dose of realism.

Spiegazioni: merrystar : Required reading, or I doubt I'd have even started it.
cej1027 : Took three tries and the motivation of a better book if I'd just finish a chapter each day, but I made it through. I still think it's trash though.
waltzmn: Modern fiction. Bah. If you're going to assign a book in a literature class (which is the only reason I went near it), at least least let it be a book where you learn something from the unspoken background assumptions. This book is one of the reasons I prefer non-fiction. I freely admit that this is personal taste.
