I voted a 10 because I just seemed most enthralled when reading it, and what is the sebald code in TPP? I seem to be missing it.

It's on page 67: "I can't tell if you are in or enemies please respond."

Ok I'll accept that although the in I don't like No, nobody really did... There'll be a thread on that somewhere, I'm sure, if you look around. Edit: Although this is our current thread for any and all Sebald Code discussion.

I think this was my favorite book so far, although there were some odd moments. I don't really remember, I need to read it again. I agree there seem to be alot of quesions left unanswered, and the ending was odd, but not horrible. It could have been much worse.

I can't remember what I gave it but it was definetly my favourite book so far. Spoilers: There is none available as the book has been out so long. I wish he didn't die. There was too many deaths.

There was too many deaths, especially at the end, not knowing. I liked, in the other books too (TSS, TGG, bits of TCC and THH), how the Bauds actually began to put the puzzle pieces together, like us. It was annoying how they were so clueless before. Even we knew more than they did!

I thought that it was very good. It was pretty funny.
"And we can ask for all the soldiers in the world to lay down their weapons and join us in arousing chorus of 'cry me a river'...."
LOL.

I give it a '9', it was either 3rd best or tied for 2nd with EE.
My highlight was any time the word 'mother' popped up ;D

I also enjoyed EE, Fire.
Definitely not boring, unlike most of the books, which weren't all boring, but had a bit of boring in each. Frernest I loved.

But we found out some things. I much enjoyed the reunion of all the characters and final clash between both sides of the schism all gathered together. The ending ruled, chaos for all members of VFD, good and bad as the Bauds and their enemy sail through the air...

So did I. And it, sadly, ends by putting the readers in complete suspense for about the 8th time. If you figure the really suspenseful endings started with taa. So therefore even though this book was awesome I'm not satisfied and I must have more...

I give this book a 10! With it being the denoument to the Baudelaire story, I can't wait for the next one!
