"'The end' is a phrase which refers to the completion of a story, or the final moment of some accomplishment, such as a secret errand, or a great deal of research, and indeed this thirteenth volume marks the completion of my investigation into the Beaudelaire case, which required much research, a great many secret errands, and the accomplishments of a number of my comrades, from a trolley driver to a botanical hybridization expert, with many, many typewriter repairmen in between. But it cannot be said that The End contains the end of the Baudelaires' story, any more than The Bad Beginning contained its beginning."
This is the final, miserable installment in the saga of the unfortunate Baudelaire orphans. Fans, like me, are anxious to find out what becomes of our fearless heroes...and you won't be disappointed. This is a fitting end to a series of bizzare and unfortunated events.
