Let's start this. Chapter 1:
Are the apple trees outside the horseradish factory like the one in The End?
I like how Monty introduces himself the way Olaf did.
Mr. Poe mentions that Monty's house is full of things from his travels around the world. I don't think snakes enjoy being called things.

Chapter 1:
The city is past the city of Tedia, and that city holds Lousy Lane.
Who named this town?
Lousy Lane is by the Grim River.
Cake reference, I like it.

Chapter 1:
Tedia?Lousy Lane?Grim River?This sounds like a pleasant area.
Can’t Mr Poe just put the suitcases in the trunk or on the roof?
What “things”?Snakes aren’t things.
Uncle Monty does the same greeting as Olaf.Basically, this sets him up as being similar before ultimately
subverting expectations.

Chapter 2:
If only Olaf never showed up...
Inky was found in a "northwest forest"
Chapter 3:
Captain Sham is the best disguise, but Stephano isn't bad.
Olaf is really creepy with the knife business.

Chapter 2:
That cake sure sounds good.
So is Gustav Gustav Sebold?
Where would Mr Poe get the idea of Uncle Monty being intimidating?
The Baudelaires’ reaction to each having their own room is weirdly adorable.
I’m trying to picture the 3-mouthed snake.

Chapter 3:
There’s something so wholesome about Sunny’s interactions with the Incredibly Deadly Viper.
Uncle Monty’s proposed prank is epic.
Klaus’ room sounds like total bliss.
The Alaskan Cow Lizard could be a therapsid since it’s a reptile that produces milk.
Virginia Woolf reference.
I really like the story about the nail polish.There should be a book of short stories
from when the Baudelaires lived with their parents.

I'm way too far ahead, so I'll just post general thoughts.
This book is one of the darkest ones, and it shows. Olaf is still really creepy, what with the knife on Violet's knee and whatnot. Lucafont is the first henchman disguise, and it's not bad. I wonder why Fernald never used the fake hands again. However, the anagram is bad. Lucafont becomes either Count Laf or something the censors won't let me write. A lot of people think Monty was trying to smuggle the Baudelaires out of the country, but I don't like that theory. He was the nicest guardian, and I don't like the idea that he lied to the kids.

Chapter 4:
Klaus’ regret confirms that the siblings survived for years after.
I’ve actually had Peruvian food, and can confirm that some of it can be a bit sticky.

Chapter 5:
Running a knife against Violet’s leg under the table?Why is Olaf creepier reading
as an adult than he was when I read these as a kid?
At least Uncle Monty is losing his trust in Stephano.
So did Uncle Monty’s roommate swallow the toad whole?

Chapter 6:
Shame the Bauds didn’t get to enjoy Zombies in the Snow, sounds like a good film.
Love Snicket’s snarkiness while defining dumbly.
I only just now realized that the part about the hallway being as blank as a skull was foreshadowing.

Chapter 7:
How would Stephano get on the Prospero without a ticket?
Would he just use Uncle Monty’s?
Wonder what happened to the knife.Olaf never had it in any of his other disguises…or when he was himself.
I truly feel for these kids, not even being able to remember if they ever talked to Uncle Monty
at all the previous day.
I gotta admit, Stephano messing up Mr Poe’s name is pretty funny.
No way José, not sure why it took me so long to get that.

Chapter 8:
Fernald seems to be a caffeine addict.He also mentions in TEE that he drinks a lot of coffee.
What do “solid hands” look like?
Chapter 9:
The Reptile Room being less welcoming takes on new meaning when you consider that it later burned down.
Please don’t make me imagine snotty curtains.
Chapter 10:
I always found the Boy Who Cried Wolf story to be kind of hokey to be perfectly honest.
Did I mention how cute Sunny and Ink’s interactions are?
Mr Poe’s freakout is kind of funny I’ll admit.
Uh oh, Stephano just blew his cover.

Chapter 11:
I never get tired of the “ever ever ever” written multiple times.
I’m now trying to imagine an ill-mannered lockpick.
Chapter 12:
Stephano’s being outed because he keeps changing his mind about his snake knowledge.
I love the sly commentary on the idea of “nice girls.”
Chapter 13:
Giving a snake a wrong name as a joke is brilliant.
Horseradish smells nothing like ginger.Does Bruce have a crappy sense of smell or is he just dumb?
I kind of feel bad for the Incredibly Deadly Viper.First he lost Monty, then he’s being taken away from his home
and his bff Sunny.
