A review by bybrookenelson
When Did You See Her Last? by Lemony Snicket
4.0
3.5 stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
Follow-up to the fun and funny Who Could That Be at This Hour?, I expected to love this just as much as its five-star predecessor. However, I sadly ended up very, very disappointed.
This book reads more like someone trying to impersonate Lemony Snicket's writing style, which takes away mostly everything that makes his books so enjoyable. Rather than quick quips to make you laugh, this book drags you on what feels like a never-ending ride of unfunny repetition.
I hate to review a child's book poorly, because that's what it is, after all: a kid's story. But as somebody who enjoys these books, I was highly disappointed in the quality of this one. I don't think I'll be finishing the series.
