title: the vile village
author: Lemony Snicket
series: a series of unfortunate events (#7)
personal star rating: 5/5 stars

from the back cover:
Dear Reader, 
You have undoubtedly picked up this book by mistake, so please put it down. Nobody in their right mind would read this particular book about the lives of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire on purpose, because each dismal moment of their stay in the village of V.F.D. has been faithfully and dreadfully recorded in these pages.
I can think of no single reason why anyone would ever want to open a book containing such unpleasant matters as migrating crows, an angry mob, a newspaper headline, the arrest of innocent people, the Deluxe Cell, and some very strange hats.
It is my solemn and sacred occupation to research each detail of the Baudelaire children's lives and write them all down, but you may prefer to do some other solemn and sacred thing, such as reading another book instead.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

first sentence:
"No matter who you are, no matter where you live, and no matter how many people are chasing you, what you don't read is often as important as what you do read."

review:
Once again, the Baudelaire orphans are subject to unfortunate ordeals. This was one of my favourite in the entire series. There was much to it and I enjoyed it immensely. There is not much to say except that this series is superlative and I look forward to finding out how the series ends. I think I'm going to go to the library and get the rest of these books and have a lovely day of reading.

As do I! I actually did go to library today and took the rest of the series out. Am I going to read them all this weekend? I think so. Thank you for commenting (:
