    I still remember the fun I had when I was reading the first 7, or even 10 books in this Unfortunate Events series. Politically incorrect it may be, but I have to say the unfortunate events in those earlier books gave me quite an entertainment, while still lamenting on the suffering of the Baudelaire children and admiring the almost ingenious writing style of L. Snicket. It was fun. But the last 2 books sent me into the brooding state almost as desolate as what the poor good people have been experiencing in the books. Bedazzled by the equivocal definition of good and evil and unsatisfied about so many unexplained mysteries thrown in earlier along the development of the story, now I am more than convinced about the warning set by the author at the beginning of every book or at the back cover of every book-- you will feel miserably, utterly confused if going through the whole series. There is no sense of closure, which is a disappointment for a reader. The writing style is still very admirable, it's just, I miss the fun part way much.

세계 39개 언어로 출간된 Lemony Snicket의 'A Series of Unfortunate Events(위험한 대결)'시리즈 마지막 편! 화재로 하루아침에 고아가 되어 버린 보들레어 가의 삼남매와 아이들의 유산을 가로채려는 천재적인 악당 올라프 백작의 대결. 올라프 백작은 목적을 이룰 것인가? 보들레어 삼남매는 살아남을 수 있을까? 이 시리즈는 어떻게 끝날 것인가? 열 세권에 걸친 시리즈의 대단원의 막을 기대해 보자.

삐딱하게 기울어진 '눈동자의 집', 악마의 코브라가 스멀거리는 '파충류의 방', 죽음의 거머리떼가 득시글거리는 눈물샘 호숫가 '조세핀 숙모의 집', 수상한'행운의 향기 제재소','장엄근엄 사립 기숙 학교' 삼남매가 거쳐가는 곳마다 올라프 백작은 때로는 변장을 하며 악몽 같은 검은 손길을 뻗쳐왔고, 공포와 죽음의 그림자를 드리운다.

레모니 스니켓은 각 에피소드에 색다르고 엽기적이면서도 매력 있는 캐릭터들을 창조했다. 그는 독특한 발상과 넉살 좋은 글 솜씨, 주인공 아이들을 불행으로 몰아가는 스릴 넘치는 사건들, 그리고 이 역경에서 탈출하려는 아이들의 재기 발랄한 아이디어로, 행복한 사건도 영웅도 없으며, 해피엔딩도 아닌 위험하고 불행 사건들로 가득한 이야기 속에 독자들을 사로잡는다.

이 시리즈의 첫 권 첫 장부터 등장하는 작가의 경고에도 불구하고 첫 장을 넘긴 독자들은 끝도 없이 펼쳐지는 불행한 이야기의 유혹을 쉽게 떨쳐내지는 못할 것 같다. 그는 독특한 발상과 넉살 좋은 글 솜씨, 주인공 아이들을 불행으로 몰아가는 스릴 넘치는 사건들, 그리고 이 역경에서 탈출하려는 아이들의 재기 발랄한 아이디어로, 행복한 사건도 영웅도 없으며, 해피엔딩도 아닌 위험하고 불행한 사건들로 가득한 이야기 속에 독자들을 사로잡는다.

All things must come to an end. Thankfully, this includes A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. The 13th and final installment in the groundbreaking series will answer readers' most burning questions: Will Count Olaf prevail? Will the Baudelaires survive? Will the series end happily? And if there's nothing out there, what was that noise?


Dear Reader,

You are presumably looking at the back of this book, or the end of THE END. The end of THE END is the best place to begin THE END, because if you read the end from the beginning of the beginning of THE END to the end of the end of THE END, you will arrive at the end of the end of your rope.

This book is the last in A Series of Unfortunate Events, and even if you braved the previous twelve volumes, you probably can't stand such unpleasantries as a fearsome storm, a suspicious beverage, a herd of wild sheep, an enormous bird cage, and a truly haunting secret about the Baudelaire parents.

It has been my solemn occupation to complete the history of the Baudelaire orphans, and at last I am finished. You likely have some other occupation, so if I were you I would drop this book at once, so THE END does not finish you.

With all due respect,

Lemony Snicket [예스24 제공]
