This is what the back of the book for the u.k. version of book the twelfth says:
Book the Twelfth~
The Penultimate Peril
Dear Reader,
If this is the first book you found while searching for a book to read next, then the first thing you should know is that this next-to-last book is what you should put down first. Sadly, this book presents the next-to-last chronicle of the lives of the Baudelaire orphans, and it is next-to-first in its supply of misery, despair, and unpleasantness.
Probably the next-to-last things you would like to read about are a harpoon gun, a rooftop sunbathing salon, two mysterious initials, three unidentified triplets, a notorious villain, and an unsavory curry.
Next-to-last things are the first thing to be avoided, and so allow me to recommend that you put this next-to-last book down first, and find something else to read next at last, such as the next-to-last book in another chronicle, or a chronicle containing other next-to-last things, so that this next-to-last book does not become the last book you will read.
With all due respect,
Lemony Snicket

Sorry if I missed something, but how was the air balloon related to the story?

This time, we have the LAST piece to th e cover...Who do you think the guy is/was on the bottom of it in the hat, and has a mean look on his face...? They saved that piece FOR LAST...which must mean that he is a VERY important characterm here....he looks mean...so I doubt it's Lemony. Who do you think it is?  |

Does Nero, or Caarmelita Spatts, make an appearance again...? And I thought, if Snicket is in this, how can he be telling it from NOW?

My friend has given me some spoilers, and these are the people who die in Book 12.
Justice Strauss, Mr. Poe, Dewey, Esme Squalor, and Carmelita Spats(supposedly)
May I just ask though, do the Quagmires appear in this book, or are they just mentioned?
