Series of Unfortunate Events: The Erstaz Elevator
"The Hook”
“At the end of the dark hallway, the Baudelaire children found an assortment, so that the expression ‘cul-de-sac’ here means at the end of the dark hallway the Baudelaire children found an assortment of mysterious circumstances. If the Baudelaire’s had been able to choose a French expression that would be waiting for them at the of the hallway, they might have chosen one that meant by the time the three children rounded the last dark corner of the corridor, the police had captured Gunther and Quagmire’s triplets, or at least the Baudelaire’s were delighted to see that the hallway led straight to the Veblen Hall, where the In Auction was taking place” (page 204)
Recommendation
If you have just picked up this book, it is too late to put it down. In the Series of Unfortunate Events “The Erstaz Elevator” Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire encounter a darkened staircase, a red herring, some friends in a scary situation, three mysterious initials, a liar with an evil scheme, a secret passageway, and parsley soda. If you have read the previous books of the Baudelaire children and you’re seeking to find out their next adventure open up this book right now, but be careful don’t fall into your own world of Unfortunate Events!!!!!
