What is The Miserable Mill about? Following up on the events that took place in The Wide Window, where they met their Aunt Josephine who lived at the edge of a hill on top of Lake Lachrymose, the orphans are now sent to Paltryville where they are to work at the Lucky Smells Lumbermill under the assumed protection of their caretaker Sir (called so because his other name is impossible to pronounce). The fourth book in the series (out of an unlucky 13), once more narrated by an omniscient narrator who happens to be the only person out there left to recount the adventures of these children, sends the kids to a dangerous place where they must particularly watch out for where they set their feet if they aren’t to cause an accident with tragic repercussions. Unfortunately, for the Baudelaire orphans, there are no such things as odds, not unless the elusive and terrifying Count Olaf can be taken out of the equation, as they continue to be destined to a life full of torment and only each other to keep themselves together. His intentions were good, but it just didn't work out.You’d think that the odds of continuously finding yourself in a depressive and agonizing situation throughout life are slim, bound to be interrupted by at least one joyful and peaceful event. I'm sure Handler was probably thinking that if he talked loudly and put the wrong inflections and emphasis on the words, it would make him sound funny and interesting. However, that loud, halting, jerking 's just awful. I know Daniel Handler is not a voice actor, so I've tried to be understanding. I can't say enough how utterly annoying Sir's dialogue is to me. My only extreme reactions were to the narration, which was both "Ow, my freaking ears!" and "Why must he talk that way?! It's driving me crazy!" Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Lemony Snicket?ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The big "sword-fight" between Sunny and Dr. What was one of the most memorable moments of The Miserable Mill? I would and I have many times, simply because I love this series. Would you listen to The Miserable Mill again? Why?
