The miserable mill ; bk. 4, A series of unfortunate events by Lemony Snicket - reviewed by Jack
In this episode it is the 4th guardian the
orphans have had, as the guardian always gets killed. In the blurb of every
book there is a funny bit - "The pages of this book, I'm sorry to inform you, contain such unpleasantries as a giant pincher machine, a bad casserole, a man with a cloud of smoke where his head should be, a hypnotist, a terrible accident resulting in injury, and coupons."
Rated: 4.9 reallys – "I’m knocking a point off for extreme sadness and
misfortune."

Warning – this is a very confusing book. I really loved it
even though it was very confusing. It’s about a boy who turns into a cat, who
was a cat and who was a person?
Rated: 4.5 reallys
