The sixth entry in A Series of Unfortunate Events is just as formulaic as the first five, but it's a winning formula. The laws of physics are stretched a bit further in this entry, but in amusing ways. We are given a glimpse of a connection between Lemony Snicket's beloved Beatrice and the Baudelaires' guardian, which deepens the overall mystery.

I wish the overall arc would move a bit more quickly, but this series is keeping Kevin's interest quite well.

Oh, and I laughed out loud at the Crying of Lot #49 reference.
