On the heels of completing A Bad Beginning earlier today, I finished The Reptile Room this afternoon. The Reptile Room is the second book in A Series of Unfortunate Events.
The Bauderlaire children continue their misfortune in this exciting tale that has them combating Count Olaf once again.
Despite never having a happy ending, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny begin this book with happy times. After escaping Count Olaf's plot to marry Violet and take control of the vast family fortune, the children are rushed off to Uncle Monty's (Montgomery Montgomery) home.
Uncle Monty is a herpetologist and has a vast collection of reptiles including the Incredibly Deadly Viper, which he discovered and was set to present to the Herpetological Society. The Bauderlaire children were quite comfortable at Uncle Monty's for a time, until his new assistant showed up.
Disguised as Stephano, Count Olaf enters the story once again with the help of the hook-handed man. The Bauderlaire fortune is still the target of Olaf's affection and he will seemingly stop at nothing to get it.
Murder, snakes, and ingenious exploits make for a most interesting tale and one that keeps the reader engaged throughout.”“This was one of the best books in the series. If you like animals, adventure, and continues action you would like this book.”

Montgomery is an animal lunatic as well as an animal scientist. His main area of studies were reptiles. Right when they moved in, uncle Monty received a new assistant, Stephano. As the children are suspicious of anyone knew because of their recent stay with Count Olaf, they are skeptical and uneasy about anyone. If your not familiar with the series, Count Olaf is a greedy man out to get the orphans trust fun of a large sum of money. At first their uncle doesn't believe them and thinks they are just traumatized from happened earlier in their life. Then they try to prove that Stephano is Count Olaf. When they get the evidence to prove who Uncle Monty mysteriously disappears and they find that one of his snakes out of the cage. They find their uncle dead with two holes that look like a snake bite, but the snake that escaped was not poisonous. They prove to Mr. Poe who Stephano really is and he gets away. So after that they end up in the care of Mr. Poe hoping that he will find a safe home for them away from Count Olaf and his team.”
