BOOK 22: The Carnivorous Carnival, by Lemony Snicket

Rating: 3 stars

Cover synopsis: The orphans must confront a terrible lie, a lion untamer, an ambidextrous person, a caravan, and Chabo the wolf baby.

Thankfully, the formula was slightly different in this book: This time, it's the Baudelaires who have to disguise themselves instead of Count Olaf. And there was a tiny clue to the overarching plot. But, of course, we don't get any real information, their only ally is incapable of change and the Baudelaires have been re-captured by Count Olaf in the end.

As always, an enjoyable read, but way too predictable.
