Who Could That Be At This Hour? by Lemony Snicket - review

Who Could That Be At This Hour? is one of the most AMAZING books you will ever read. With a cunning, witty style that all Snicket books possess, this book is a top of your list kind!

It tells the story of the young Lemony Snicket, who goes out to Stain'd-by-the Sea, a practically abandoned town which produces ink, to be the apprentice of S.Theodora Markson, the worst of all 52 possible chaperones.

Snicket must steal a statue of The Bombinating Beast, a local creature of myth, and return it to the rightful owner. It looks like a simple task, but when the keeper practically hands over the item, things start to get more complicated than they seem …

With faceless masks, a two-child taxi service, and a mysterious girl living in an abandoned cottage, all Snicket can seem to do is ask all the wrong questions.

I would highly recommend it to anyone in need of a good book, or even if you don't. It's just a shame we have to wait a year for the next one!
