The Hostile Hospital (Series of Unfortunate Events, #8)

by Lemony Snicket

[thepunktheory]

We've reached the point where the whole back and forth between the Beaudelairs and Count Olaf is not the only main plot string anymore. The mystery surrounding their parents, the fire and VFD becomes more fascinating and obscure with every book. By now I am binge-reading as I'm so interesting in finally finding out what it's all about. But in The Hostile Hospital we learn just enough to get even more excited, the answers await somewhere else.
I also enjoy that we can finally put that "let's find a new guardian" - thing aside and focus on what everybody is after. Thus, the story gains more speed and while reading I often felt like a smoker who light a new cigarette with the last one he just smoked. As soon as I finished The Vile Village, I opened up The Hostile Hospital. The next part, The Carnivorous Carnival is already waiting for me.

Another thrilling Lemony Snicket story with an intricate plot, amiable characters and lovely illustrations!
