A review by softstarrynights
The Ersatz Elevator, by Lemony Snicket

4.0

Even though this is a re-read it turns out that I really don't remember this book, probably because asking me to read past five books in a series is quite an ask. I love the way that The Ersatz Elevator is beginning to get somewhat darker, along with the development of the V.F.D mystery, but it is balanced with the humour. Another thing which really appeals to me is the setting of 667 Dark Avenue, which reminds me very much of a locked room murder mystery, and creates this fabulous sense of claustrophobia. I enjoyed it much more than I remember and have to wonder why it's such an underrated episode in the series.
