sabineI just came to the end of The End. I must say that Mr. Snickett has done a fine job of telling a story. He brought us into a beginning in the middle of it, and took us to an end that's really just another beginning. Yes, it sounds like pseudo-mystical babble, but it makes a lot of sense in context of the books.
I really like this series. If you have a free day, I'd wager you could read the entire series at a go. I've got most of the books (still need a copy of The Beatrice Letters) and a large supply of tea, if you're interested in hanging out on our Couch of Doom. There were two moments that made me cackle with literary glee at being in on the joke, details are available upon request.
I am sad to see this series come to an end. I have a great deal of emotional investment in these characters. I also should study the various plot lines to learn how to craft complex conspiracies and good ways to drop mountains on people.
And if anyone knows what was in the sugar bowl, I'd really like to know. I'm going to go read some of the middle of The End again to figure it out.
In other news, the work that I thought would take 9 hours took a little less than 5, there's pumpkin to be cooked and carved, apple cakes, muffins, and sauce already made, and about 8.5 pounds of apples still to go. I need to get new tires for George; the mountain of laundry has been completely conquered.
