“The End” will be the thirteenth and final installment of Lemony Snicket’s “A Series of Unfortunate Events,” the gloomy series chronicling the misfortunes of the orphaned Baudelaire children and their scheming relative Count Olaf.
Additionally, “The Beatrice Letters,” a collection of letters between author Snicket and Beatrice, the woman to whom each book in the series is dedicated, will be released on September 5, 2006. The correspondences will shed some light on who Beatrice is as well as give insight into Count Olaf’s childhood and clues to what’s in store for “The End.”
At “The Bad Beginning” of the series in 1999, the three orphans — ingenuous Violet, intelligent Klaus, and their biting baby sister Sonny — are sent to live with Count Olaf, a distant relative hellbent on claiming the Baudelaire inheritance by any means necessary, even murder. Once Olaf’s treacherous plots are uncovered, the Count goes on the lam while the children are safely placed with a new relative, presumably to live happily ever after.
Unfortunately, the children’s happiness is short-lived when a disguised Olaf and his devious cronies repeatedly return to eliminate all subsequent guardians and steal the fortune the Count so greedily desires.
“The End,” which is scheduled for release on unlucky Friday, October 13, 2006, will reveal whether the devious Olaf’s evil will triumph or if the mistreated Baudelaire orphans can finally thwart his villainy once and for all.
Wow.
Does this imply that there is an end to unfortunate events in general? Cause we know that’s not the case.
Maybe the end with be a la The Princess Bride…

I think that the books are fantastic! really!
I’ve read all 12 books so far and each book is as exciting to encounter every time. The books are so great that I’m thinking about buying a box set of the books. I cant wait until the next book comes out! Keep the unpredictable chapters going.

You of course need to ponder that they might die, or kill count olaf, or both. I mean, the twelfth book kind of presents itself that way, and the artwork for the cover kind of gives something away.

I think the baudelaire’s will their parents bring olaf to justice. Try to find Hector and the Quagmires in the hot air mobil home, then they will find the Quagmirers parent. If none these therys happen I will be very mad. Or unless somthing way, way more better happen that I can’t think of right now, it will come to me. I hope
