Well, the second to last book has arrived and despite the fact that things are getting pretty repetitive, I quite enjoyed the Penultimate Peril. The orphans, along with Kit Snicket, arrive at the hotel to rescue the elusive sugarbowl. As usual, Olaf and his gang are also there, trying to stop the heros. At this point, the Baudelaire orphans are wondering if they really are heros; they do good deeds but also end up hurting people. *spoiler* In this story, they accidentally kill Dewey, one of the hotel managers and a member of VFD. Almost everyone is at the hotel, Olaf's bad accomplices and the good members of VFD, this guarantees that the book will be very confusing and exciting.
