The Penultimate Peril jas to be one of the saddest of the Series of Unfortunate Events. All of the Baudelaire orphans' enemies come together in this book and the orphans finaly make their decision on whether to help other people or take care of themselves.
I almost cried as I read the last few pages.

I love the ambiguity in this book with all three children committing acts of which they are unsure are the right and true acts they should be committing. The whole mirrored hotel and the reappearance of Carmelita Spatts. My favourite obnoxious character. This book was strong in plot and intrigue and is well recommended for all members of the VFD.

every thing is finally coming to close in the second last book, the twelfth book of the series in fact, of the Series of Unfortunate Events series. all the volunteers of the vfd are arriving post haste to the last safe place on earth, the hotel denouelment and the orphans dress up as concierges in order to get in

this second last book in one of the most loved and gloomy series of all time a Series of Unfortunate Events is much, much better than the actual last book in the series. it ties up a lot of the questions raised in the previous books rather than raising a whole bunch of new questions like in book 13

Learning unusual words is one of my essentials as a reader. That is why I am fond of book writers who write passionately and share what they know more about. At one point, it inspires me to do the same as an apprentice writer. This volume and the rest of the series instill the love of curiosity in an educating, mind-boggling way.

The Penultimate Peril would be best recommended to readers who are into something different, and who have great interests in woeful stories. It will also help them learn more about English as it did help me. And I wouldn't dare suggest this book to readers who are after joyous endings.

After the first 11 books, that were laced with black comedy and inopportune situations handled and aligned in a way to make sense, the 12th books somehow leaves the reader gasping for more and ends with a flat note. I can, however, find cognizance with the moral of the story that sometimes people you think you are close to, fail you with their "nobleness" or lack of guts! That you have to find strength in yourself to fight your own wars and that a family has an important part to play when you're struggling through your live. I think the gist of the story is that that the three children find succor in each other - almost a live force driven by love, that protects them and eventually helps to extricate them from impossible situations!

This is one of my fave books in this series, because it is really funny! I love how he uses funny language in here, its hilarious to see the orphans interact with Fred and Earnest, and I also love the part where the audience submits numerous things. More funny words from Sunny in here too. A bit of a sad ending, but love it nonetheless.

Yes I will have to agree, this was an awesome book. Some mysteries are being solved while others remain unanswered. This time the three siblings are in a crazy hotel that is like the dewey decimal system in a library. I have to say that I did get a little confused. I really enjoyed this book and I'm sure you will to.
