Book Description

After any harrowing struggle, it is nice to consider checking into a hotel for a rest. In fact, this might be just the break Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire could use after their wearying deep-sea adventure.

A hotel can be a good choice for any family vacation. With so many floors, such a variety of rooms, and a curious array of guests, spending time in the safety of the right hotel can be the perfect learning environment for children of any age. A keen researcher like Klaus, an adept inventor like Violet, and a sharp-toothed culinary master like Sunny are all sure to find engaging diversions during their stay.

Regardless of how they pass their time while at a hotel, the three siblings will be sure to take in all the interesting sights and sounds -- and write them down -- just in case this episode turns out to be the darkest yet in a series of unfortunate events.

3.0 out of 5 stars この作者にどこまで付き合えるか？, 2008/3/19
By miss Galileo (神奈川) - See all my reviews
このシリーズは結構好きでそのつど新巻の発売を待っていたし、またその間前のを読み返したりしていました。英語の文章としても割合読みやすく、（ただし、だんだん一つの文章が長くなってきている傾向があるような？？？）　難しい単語も作者自ら、また時には本の虫であるボードレール家の真ん中の子であるクラウスが解説してくれるので、辞書要らずで読めますし。
ですが、この作者の半ば偏執狂的な言葉遊びとか謎かけには最初の頃はともかく、いい加減うんざりしてきていたし、読めば読むほどまさに謎が謎を読む展開と,何気なく本筋とは無関係な作者の思い出話かと思いきやどうして気になることをポロッポロッと書いてるじゃない！？と、少しも気を抜いてスルーできない話の運び方には、スリルを覚えると同時にだんだん疲れというかストレスも溜まってきたところ・・・

で、最後から2番目の巻・・・ボードレール兄弟どころか読者をして頭をひどく掻き毟らせるが如くのキャラや場面の描写とかストーリー展開とか、無駄話のようなそうでないような話の羅列とか・・・またしても新しくこの作者は何かお遊びを思いついたのねって感じ?ところが、途中からはまるでジグソーパズルのピースが少しずつピタッとはまっていくように色々なことが明らかになってきて・・・と同時に、今までの経験からすると何かイヤ〜な予感がするな〜と思っていたら、やはり？・・・しかし終盤のだいどんでん返しが奇想天外！ボードレールの３人ってホンと凄い！もはや宿敵オラフもその大胆で奇抜な発想にはたじろいでしまいそう！？終盤の驚くべき展開の奇想天外さはシリーズ中これ迄でピカイチでしょう。

とにかく、奇抜さも凝りに凝った予想を裏切る複雑な展開がもたらす面白さも最高なら、ややこしさやいらいら気分も最高というか最悪！まあそれらは表裏一体なんですがね。それに、やっぱり話を引っ張り過ぎじゃないですか？だから星５にしたくても素直にできなかった・・・。

2.0 out of 5 stars ちょっとマンネリ？, 2006/4/14
このレビューの引用元: A Series of Unfortunate Events #12: The Penultimate Peril CD (CD)
Unfortunates Eventsシリーズを1巻から12巻までオーディオブックで聴き通した。まだ完結しておらずたぶん12巻の題名からして13巻が最終回になるはず。この内容では13巻もの長編にする意味が全くないねえ。1巻では3時間くらいだった内容が12巻ではなんと6時間以上に増えている。でも内容の密度は？、今回はホテルが舞台でそこにvolunteerとvillain達が集まってくる。また、シリーズ全体から懐かしい顔ぶれが集まってくる。でも最後はお決まりで、ホテルが火事になり大事な証拠はすべて灰となり、兄弟姉妹の3人とオラフは同じ船で海へと脱出する・・・
ねっ？、いつもと同じ終わり方でしょう？、本当はもう投げ捨てたいけど、ここまで付き合ったからには最終巻も聴くことになるなあ。
