Snicket's Believe It or Not: TPP

[Foxy]

The penultimate poll!!!

[Dante]

This is a tough one; most of the major events of the book seem relatively credible, the way you arrange them. I don't even have any obscure narrative or chronological holes to exhaustively analyse. I'm inclined to go with the spatulas, but it's such a minor detail that I'm not sure it's really worth quibbling about... I might pick "Something else" and articulate that as the Vernacularly Fastened Door. I objected to that in the TSS thread, too, but here my qualm is the more general fact that, if you read the description of how they operate, they actually make pretty much no sense. The wires fasten around the hinges of the door to seal it in place...?

I'm just going to say that the most unbelievable thing that happens in this one happens in the TV show and that it is such a jarring moment for my suspension of disbelief that I cannot possibly imagine any part of the book itself seeming unlikely to me.

[Mr. Dent]

Hey, uh, I'm sorry but could somebody tell me how many Denoument brothers there are? I've read the book, or, well, skimmed it, but are there two or three? Is Dewey Denoument real? Or is he a myth, like Giuseppe Verdi?

[Dante]

Dewey is a fictional character, and therefore actually more mythical than Giuseppe Verdi. However, Giuseppe Verdi is less believable than Dewey, because he doesn't actually appear in the book.
