What Parents Need to Know
About The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13)
Parents need to know that the humor in this series is of the dark, bleak variety, and many kids don't get the joke -- they just see it as an adventure. Few books are seen as differently by adults and kids as this series. You'll probably enjoy it almost as much as your children -- but for entirely different reasons.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the dilemmas in which the Baudelaire children keep finding themselves. How have they been forced to commit acts they regret? Did they have other choices? Are the things they've done really bad? Is it possible for good people with good intentions to do bad things? Also, is it possible to be safe from the turmoils of the world? Is it desirable?

- I rate this title iffy for age 10 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- My highlights are:
- Good role models
These books are smart, witty and well-written, but I honestly can't get past the perpetually gloomy tone. It's frustrating to know that every time something good happens to the characters, something bad will come and ruin it again, and this book was no exception. Also, it seems to raise more questions than it answers, especially for those unfamiliar with the rest of the series. Despite that, they're still worth reading, if only for Snicket's acrid sense of humor and intimate knowledge of the English language. Violet, Klaus and Sunny also made for resourceful and interesting protagonists, though not ones as easy to relate to as those in the Potter or Percy Jackson novels.
