Samson Meyer age 12 (12/09/02)

I believe this is one of the best pieces by Mr. Snicket. he really expressed sorrow in which the boulderlairs were going through. it's a really nice comback after the dulness of THE MISSERABLE MILL. It was aLSO one of the eisest and fastest ones i read only taking me 9
