What is your favorite book in the series? Mine would have to be either the Ersatz Elevator, or the Penultimate Peril. Probably TPP, because it involved so many characters from the series, and a very cool and suspenseful atmosphere.
Vote and discuss! :-)

I generally like each book better than the one before it. I liked a lot about The End, but on the other hand, I know that I think TPP's ending was the greatest. So it may be a tie between those two. Note: If people wanted, they could also try out the ranking system used in this thread (which is too old to really come back).

E and O are the most together in that stretch on the books before Carmelita brings them apart.

I like book 9, too. I never thought of it like that, I just liked all the embarrassing sub-plots and the childish rivalry of Lulu and Esmé.
My favourite... is difficult to choose. Book 10, book 9, book 6 and my general favourites. Book 9 and 6 just for the amount of little unfinished plot-lines hanging off them, and book 10 for the amount of clues and clever referencing.

I didn't care for the Carnivorous Carnival--it ranks low for me, though I find the Esme/Lulu rivalry pretty funny. I also very much enjoyed the slippery slope. There was something about the Mortmain Mountains that was just so neat--plus the fact that Quigly gets introduced.

Generally, I like every book. However, The Ersatz Elevator (for which I voted) and then The Vile Village are my favourites, because they're in that transition period from the old-style formula to the solving-mysteries style. I like the characters best in those two books. I do like the later books, especially TSS and TE, but they're not quite the same as the earlier books.

I liked 6, 9, and 10 the best. They were the funniest and the most E/O...not that it's THAT important to me. But everyone likes to see their ship happy together.

The Ersatz Elevator. I was never quite sure why. I've just always liked it.

I mean, who couldn't love little Miss Spats? : D

On my copy it's E and O with their arms around each other after Esme has been given a bouquet of ivy. Awe...
