Book Review: "Who Could That Be at This Hour?"


Review:  #388
Title:  "Who Could That Be at This Hour?"
Series:  All the Wrong Questions - 1st book
Author:  Lemony Snicket
Read Before:  no
My Comments:  This book presents an intriguing mystery, too bad that it was not solved by the end.  True to the author’s style, there’s a bit of nonsense scattered generously throughout the book.  It can get tiring though; as it truly is nonsensical stupid stuff (it’s not even funny or clever now).  The mystery ramps up a lot but then it deflates in the final few chapters as there’s no revelation on each character’s motives.  This is a disappointing novel with a plot that just goes round in circles, never getting to the destination that it should have gone.
Rating:  6/10
