Lemony Snicket: The Penultimate Peril (Rating: 8)

I just finished reading The Penultimate Peril, Book 12 of Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.

I must say I was quite impressed, though I'd be hard pressed to say why.

Perhaps it has to do with the word penultimate showing up in the title. I just gotta love a book with that in the title. (We all have words we're more fond of than others; penultimate is such a word for myself.)

Perhaps it is a matter of getting close to the end of the series, close to seeing how the Beaudelaire Orphans are going to triumph over their nemesis, and getting close to finding out the answers the all the mysteries and what it is all about.

Obviously I not sure just what it is, but what I do know is that I'm more than ready to read the last book in the series. I expect to enjoy it immensely.
