Reread February 2017, rating increased to 5 stars from 4. WOW. I really don't know what to say. This book took my breath away. I'd forgotten so much of what happened that I was guessing at what could happen at every turn. The world of the hotel was created so amazingly well - it's definitely one of my favorite settings from the series! And I loved how so many parts of the Baudelaires' past were brought into this book. And when Dewey Denouement died and when Sunny said to set fire to the hotel I think I screamed a little. 
 Personal favorite moment: Sunny's word for "I don't think the literal interpretation is the most accurate" (I'm paraphrasing here) is "Scalia." That one definitely went over my head the first time I read the book!
