Review title: Losing steam
Product review: The fourth book in Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, THE MISERABLE MILL, begins just like the previous three: with an introduction abounding with wit and humor rarely seen in most children's literature today. Indeed, the witty narrative and humor are (for the most part) just as plentiful in this book as in the previous three.But in terms of plot and characters, Lemony seems to be running out of steam. The plot twists and happenings in the previous books were always far-fetched but still believable to some degree or another. However, in this book they are simply far-fetched. Also, Count Olaf (this time in drag) came across as far less menacing than in the three previous books.I will soon be reading the fifth book and expect it to far exceed the quality of this one. I realize that with thirteen books in a series, there's going to be a bad apple or two.
