About this ebook

Best to start at the beginning, but the whole’s an enjoyable ride.”—Kirkus Reviews 

Before the Baudelaires became orphans, before he encountered A Series of Unfortunate Events, even before the invention of Netflix, Lemony Snicket was a boy discovering the mysteries of the world. This is his story.

Train travel! Murder! Librarians! A Series Finale!

On all other nights, the train departs from Stain'd Station and travels to the city without stopping. But not tonight. You might ask, why is this night different from all other nights? But that's the wrong question. Instead ask, where is this all heading? And what happens at the end of the line? Will the final book in Lemony Snicket's bestselling series, All the Wrong Questions offer any answers?

"Snicket...closes his quartet of smart, noirish mysteries...with several bangs (and a poison dart or two). Most questions (wrong and right) are answered by the satisfying close."—Kirkus Reviews 
 

Ratings and reviews

Used to be a SOUE fan so I picked up this book for the nostalgic feel and I was disappointed. The series lacks the meat of the first set. Questions left open were a cool key in SOUE but here it just made nonsensical adjustments to a relatively solid plotline. 2 stars.

I like Lemony Snicket books, even as an adult. But this ending was just...odd. Enjoyable book. Just not as enjoyable as usual.

The plot twist was eh and a good character was killed off, but I like the references to a series of unfortunate events
